<br />"August 14th, 1928.
<br />
<br />Dear Sir :--
<br />
<br /> In orcter that we might meet the necessary expenses incident to the large number
<br />of typhoid immunizations that ha~e been given this year, it is necessary that another appro-
<br />priation of $800.00 be asked for this purpose. At the present time over 6000 complete im-
<br />munizations have been given, and before the end of this month this will run to approximately
<br />yO00. The total ~c~al cost of ?000 complete immunizations, or 21,000 inolucations is $2,100.00.
<br />Out of this appropriation it will also be necessary to pay for smallpox vaccinations, which
<br />star~s on the~ 16th of this month. For the past four years we have avers~ged 1000 ~accinations
<br />against smallpox just before the opening of schools.
<br />
<br /> I regret that it is necessary to request additional funds for this purpose,
<br />but owing to the unprecedented demand 6f~'the citizens for typhoid prevention this yea~, it
<br />has made this necessary. You no doubt know that we have had an increased incidence of t~phoid
<br />fever this year, hence the people have realized the necessity of protection. Therefore, I
<br />respectfully re,est an appropriation of $~00.00 be allowed, which I feel will carry us through
<br />the end of the year.
<br />
<br />August 31st,
<br />
<br />I might add further, that no ino*~lat'ions against t~phoid will be given after
<br />as this is the period when we usually close this clinic.
<br />
<br /> I beg to remain,
<br />
<br /> Very respectfully yours,
<br />
<br /> L. J. Roper, Director of Public Welfare."
<br /> On motion of Mr. Brooks, the recommendation of the Manager was concurred in, and a
<br />special a~propriation of $800.00 allowed for said purpose; ~ud by the following vote:
<br />
<br /> Ayes-- Brooks, Dunford, Maupin, Mayo, Stewart, White,

<br /> 2nd. -_"There w~l be due August 31st~ 192~ $300,000. in notes.
<br />to Eyer & ~ompa~y, ~ Wall St., New York, at 4.~5, and are payable at
<br />of New York on the above date.
<br />
<br />ge
<br />
<br /> These notes are sold
<br /> the Nationsd City Bank
<br />
<br /> It will be necesss~vy to issue new notes to take up this issue and I would like to
<br />have the inclosed ordinance passe~ giving authority to negotiate loan for this amount. At
<br />this time, it is impossible for me t'o Eive rate of interest these notes would bear."
<br />
<br /> An Ordin~nce Author~,zng the Borrowing of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars in Anticipation
<br />of the Collection of the Revenue for the Year 1929, and providing for the issuance of a note
<br />or Notes therefor.

<br />
<br /> 3rd. aAtt~ached you will find an ordinance drawn by the City Attorney, changing the
<br />daries of some of the wards in the Oity. Mr. Barclay states that he has conformed to the old
<br />ward lines as ~ear as possible in making the desired changes. The territory south of Jefferson
<br />Bt. and east of! the Cradock h~r line has been takem from Lee Ward and placed in Madison Ward.
<br />The territory known as Shea Tract has been taken from Washington Ward and placed in Monroe
<br />Ward. The ter~ii~o~y west of Ninth Ave. and east of the Belt Line has been taken from' Harrison

<br />Seaboard Air Line and south of High St. has been taken from Harrison Ward and placed in Wash-

<br />
<br /> The City Engineer has gone over tq~e ordinance, checked it and fo~mud the boundary
<br />lines to be correct. I am informed by Mr. Barclay that there are certain legal costs to this
<br />change and he will inform you of the proper procedure and cost."
