The office of City Chemist, recently vacated by Dr. J. M. Whitfield, now City Coroner, cost the city $3,071.50 per year. Dr. Whitfield will retain the building at 1109 East Broad Street for his office as coroner and for its use will pay the city $240 per annum. A laborer who was employed by Dr. Whitfield while chemist, at a cost of $7,415 per year, will be transferred by the board to the Street-Cleaning Department.

Mr. Froehling submitted to the board a proposition in which he agreed to perform all of the duties which in the past have been incumbent upon the City Chemist for the flat sum of $2,000. The subcommittee, composed of Commissar Hirschberg and Hobson, recommended that Mr. Froehling's proposal be accepted, and this was done.
