Protest over pesthouse site near City Hospital sparks city meeting
A committee led by Nicolaus Kerr and others visited Mayor Bookwalter to protest placing a contagious disease hospital west of City Hospital. They argued for the old pesthouse site while the mayor referred the matter to the Board of Health, which opposed that location for sewage and water concerns and favored a site directly west of the city hospital.
