The Rev. 0. W. BlSOnsn said be was ineldued

to eonabine and have 000 020dioal officer for the whole

to the opinion of Mr. Player ant others that if they
hied but one officer for ;h. 0011017 he would be some

would And biro an uncommon queer comma to deal
witb—(l wetter asd hear, hJar). He eonfessed it
seemed to blot that if they were not to appoint iu sash
union their own medical officers, it would be better to
select ore who knew the country to take two or three
unions under his charge, and that so doine they would
have • more satidectory offlaer thou this fly-away goa-
-1 Ilene en from London--(hear, hear). For • moment be
would draw their attentiao to the lospootore of Nuts-
snots. He felt they would be most important offieers,
and tint the Load Gave:note .1 Board ought to be
most careful In examining into the competency and
clearaeter of the persons appointel by the anions. He
heartily hoped that if any union sent up • man the
Leon! Government [bent considered at all incompitest
for the perforates's cf time ditties or whose character
would not bear the strioteet Investigation, that they
would refuse to &mist in the payment of that man—
(boar. hear). It was a most important matter, and he
would press with all earneetnese on Guth Guardians as
had out already elected throe °Rimers, that they should
be most careful in selecting such men as they can rely
on to perform the duties aod whale characters will
bear the strictest leveetigetion.
The MATO{ or Witnoirrn said the fiendeoey in them
days wee to great centralisation; sod he thought it
very much better to forego the Government Grant and
maintain in their own hands the privilege—he might
call it—of appointing their own offiocre. The borough
he hied the honour to represant had not yet ooms to
any deoidon 00th. matter, but he should strong?, re•
oommeod ho brother ourporators not to consent to ask
the Government for any portion of the Wades of the
sanitary offiaars, but retain in their own hands entirely
inch appointments, and have the offi:ers under their
own 000troL The ofiloer it was seggested they should
appoint woull sot be under their control at all, and he
thought it advisable to pea a resolution that It wee
node/sable to have • medical allow of health for the
county of Dorest--(hear, bear).
Mr. Hiss, the retresentelise of the Bearniuster
Baird of Guardians, said they felt very etronely that
the best course was to appoint the medical officers of
the different unioes at °fibers of health. In times of
great pressure, the work would be laid upon nanny
medical coon instead of on one. The rev, gentleman
who vote of the state of Witobothe uoiou wily proved
that there was a good °petting there for another medical
°Moor, and he should think after this there would be
one or two applicants—(bear, bear, and laughter).
Mr. ATLII3OBT asked if a medical officer were
appointed under the sanction of the Local Governmeat
Board, wait they appoint for one year only?
Mr. WOOIEIOO4I : Yea, any period not etc•ediag five
y'TL .

_
HOWARD told Ye thoeght the whole &alums pro-
posed by Mr. Hawley was utterly fallaoloni and impos-
sible to be osrriell out; he said this with all duo
deference to the gentlemen who had Goole there to
advocate it. There were 12 eudoce, and with only 310
working days in the year, that would give 2R to be
devoted to each union annually, and fir thus 26 visits
Weymouth would have to pay £l2O. When they
thought of the time which would be occupied in travel-
ling about the county, it would be seen that the days
to he actioally devoted to each union would be very few
indeed. Take the island of Portlami, which sontained
"avec plum : why the time he mold spend in imob
would be very limited, and really usellas. It was
impossible that on* or two men would hare any ssrviss•
able supervision of the whole county. Aceordied 50
Mr. Hawley's uloulation, Doereiteetew colon would have
to contribute £llB, and he thought he would he very
highly pall. As to the parish doctors, he did not think
they oomplained so mush of the work, as of the issuffi-
dangly of the pay- (laughter). The mettles( a sirs of
the wont, were reedy to do teflon the work if their
pay warn inoreeeed the medical aeon he read spoken
to wore vary willing to undertake the duties imposed
by this Lot, and there were sone others so coompetoot to
perform them—Guar, hurl. They were oonstantly
about the district, whereas the "fly-away gentlemen
Mr. Bingham evoke of, would only rich • plops perhaps
eau a month or fortnight. They h•d the greatest
rupee" for the Local Government Board, but It was
• new Aot to them se well as to the Guardians. And
when is came before Guardians of 40 years standing—
he himself had had 15 or 16 years' experienoo—ho
thought they were as competent to jadea of the Lot ea
the offioial. appointed node? it. He had heard of no

rather pin his faith to the medical moo In the several

bad worked hard, and Earl dealt with disease when It
had brayer; out with great credit to themselves and
mush eatisfaelon to the *minty. If they had but one
gager what sort of mu sh inld they get? He would be
very bard woeked travelling about the country eon-
staatigak and they would not find • Mold men of

number they now had satisfactorily (Mailing their

men oonstitnting the Local Government Beard each I
contributed 20 or £40,003 a year out of their own
pockets to pay halt the salaries it would be • different
thing. Then again when they got such an oakum
appointed, how difficult It warn to get rid of him. His
might wish some grand bonitol to be built, which they
with their exierienoe knew to be unneapeary, but,
beaked by the Bosrd in London, they would find it very
difficult to semeemf ally oppose him. If they allowed
the reins to go out of their hands they would make •
very great mistake. Then look at the Act. It warn
very dielmelt to understand ; indeed, IN he was
reminded. Jostles Bluth born said "nobody could under-
stand it" ii, farther urged that the loul medical
allure were the beet men to appoint, and that It would
be false economy not to here them even if the out
were double what one cfli tor would require. As to
boroughs, be hell that the Superintendent was the
best man to appoint Inspector of culottes., and that
by having such au onion the work was sans to be wet

was typhoid fever, which was merely • floe ammo for

diseases. The reform showed the last quarter had
been unusually healthy, hut there was this to he said--
that whereas the average of the town districts—the 66
largest towns—showed the deaths were below the
average 3.1 per thousand, in country districts
the average was only 11 below the usual
rate which indicated that the towns were growing
healthier in proportion than the country placess
and he attribeted It to more strive sanitary immure&
In regard to the point that the Government ought to
pay the medical officer because he does their work, he
'thought it was • ease to which they might fahly meet
half-way. No doubt many of their duties would be of
great scimitars* to the sanitary authority. but Hier
would also be workers in the great cause of sanitary
science, and helpful to t tom wbo devoted themselves
to carrying if further then it has gone at present. It
was designed that they should have returns of sickness
which should be almost as mourste a. the present
returns of death. This would too inform stifle of the
highest mine. If they hai many medical colleen the
comparison of the rename of different districts and
different slums of population would be difficult. Then
again in dealing with nuleamer, wham doubts arose as
to whether what me In the popular mine 11 nuisance
wee so legally, the offline of health would give advise.
In Imes uf epidemic no doubt the local medical officers
had taken motive steps and stamped out the diatom—
(bear, heart—but what they wanted dom was to arrest
isolated oases and prevent their beaming epidenio.
It was one thing to apply remedies when an epidemis
prevailed, and soother to point out and deal with
pions where deems was most likely to mete in as
epteeenie form. As to keel control, there wee • geed
deal of misapprehenstee. The Lot distinctly provided
that no apotheoses shosild he made for more thee Gm
mare, ead at the sod of any term if they did not wish
to re-appoint an °Seer the Local Government Board

required great emaideratioe. sod was one respecting
which he should speak with great dial Untie but it was
a mistake to think that them resommeadAkias were
, made rashly. The net me founded to a great extent
on the report of the limitary Commieloo of which

Dr. Budd, of Clifton, • very high authority, who had
devoted • great portion of his life to this question,and

division of a ciente. To Devoushire, at °redden,
ku. 11 districts, where they proposed to
appoint the union medical Aloes, they had gone into
, the question of exposes, end intended increasing
the salaries 50 per cent. In Cornwall tits average
salary of poor law medical officers wee £33. He
hat not calculated it for Dorset, but taking it at
£3O, the total salaries would be £1.690, and as
aiditioc of 50 per omit. would be £791; and al•
though be did not say the Local Government Board
would not most respectfully eonsider any lemmata-
lion this conference made to them, he thought U they
appointed their own medictl officers they must expect
to pay them thermal's.. Is to rejecting the Govern'
meat great, he thought that a dangerous mum.
At this time the prominent subject was Local
Taxation. That did not mean diminution of taxa-
tion, bat only tran.f.arenos from one elms of
payers to another. He thought had Sir Uweeer lopes
been present he would have been very =lob astonished,
for they knew that the great desire was to transfer the
burden from land to general property. But lf antis-
moo said it did not matter whether they paid in rates
or cause that was putting a powerful wespoo io the
hands of the opponents of • revision of toast taxation.
In conclusion he advised them at a freed to paste
before they made up their minds not thoroughly to
eery out the Act. When it wee before Parliament
there were murmurs that the Guardians would not
carry it into effect, and it wat @negated to Mr.
Btensfeld that the duty should be imposed on Quarter
Sessions or the at present mythical lodise—Financial
, Board,. But the Geardleas were given the shale* of
doing the work, they wore on their trial, and he
: advised them to cordially perform the duty lest a worm

I carrying out this Act dissent would be prevented, out-

Mr. SAWL&ND THOMLII mentioned a ease in Wey-
mouth Colon worm a medical oftiom traced typhoid
fever to impure water, and at 000 e hat the muse
removed, and he thought it would be difficult for one
officer to give such minute atteetion to every 0013 in
the county. He proposed that it is undosinable to
emote a large smeltery dietrietfor um county of Dollen,
and that this meeting is of opinion the Publics Health
