The following communication of our correspond
ent "Cenci' deserves the attention of the Board
of Health, of the Municipal authorities and of the
public generally. There is no doubt that the Ac,
OF lo4S, well framed as it appears to be, has hith.
erto failed in accomplishing its objects. We differ
from our correspondent as to the appointment OF
Health Wardens. We think that one of the war.
dens in each ward should be physician; but tina,
the other should be an intelligent and observing
resident, unconnected with the gSdica profession.
Both should be interested in Keeping the ward
healthy, as on this interest alone depends their
execution Of the duties enjoined by the statute.
We do not wish to be satirical, but we doubt
whether two physicians would have this interest
SO much at heart. We think, too, that the Legis.
lature was of our opinion, as it requires that one
half of the members of the Board of Health shall
not be practising physicians. The statute of 1s4s
is, in fact well drawn up and only requires energy
and attention on the part of the Board of Health
and of the Municipal authorities, to have its objects
accomplished:
