NEW FORM OP THZ STRIKE.

A meeting of the Board of Guardians was sailed for
Tuesday lest specially to consider the New Public Health.
Let. There was • good attendanee. Before introducing
the subject, the Chairman, the Rev. R. ifitesiter, read
a circular, which had been sent to all the Union. in
Dorset by the Wimberne Guardians, alter an Interview
wlth one of the inspectors of the Local Government
Board, suggesting • "aunty confereaos at Dorchester,
and on this the Chairman remarked that he titonsht
we could very well manage our own affairs, without
tying ourselves up to the Ixerd above, who would
probably *end some younger son or cousin to do oar
business for us at a large salary.-14r. Ruling said,after
the previous dieenseion he thought they would all agree
to • preliminary resolution, " That it is inexpedient to
unito with any other union forth, purposes of the New
public Health AM," sad that there might be no mistake
about the declines of the Board on the question be
'limbed it pet pro. and con.—Tbe resolution waa
seconded by Professor Buckman, vloo-ohairmert, and
curled asealnioasly.—Mr. Anew then proposed that
the mediae' officers of the Union be appointed officers
of health. Phi, was also agreed to. and after some
disoussloo, in the coarse of which it was stated that
the Redo:duster Guardians had just given their medical
offioers salaries varying from £4O to ES, the following
anms were unanimously approved :—Dr, Davis OD.
Kr. Turner £5, and Dr. Hichmore £lO. The work.
house, ea within the jurisdiction of the Board of
Heelth, the guardians did not feel justified in dealing
with. To the sorgeetion of appointing the relieving
officers inspectors of unbent:ea, Mr. Littlehalos opposed
the very strong opinion expressed against them bv Mr.
Wodebouse, the inspector, and as the relieving officers
themselves were not particularly anxious for the ap-
pointment, the suggestion ot Mr. Hoddnott to appoint
the surveyor of the highwaye,lfr. Vinoent,was adopted,
and the salary attached was agreed to he £2.5 • year;
but Mr. Vincent has singe declined the offer. It was
agreed that the proviskens of the Act should be serried
out by • vont iitte•of twelve, and • ',wird meeting
will ho Galled for their appointment.
We hear that all the medical men hese refused. The
(petition is, what next? Are medical officer. of Unions
to make their own forma, and are the guardians to be
at their mercy? If so Boards that are now disposed to
work with their preseut medical officers willlook abroad
for fresh aseutanoe.
