after the transaction OF routine business, re
sumed the consideration of the first section
(atoii>hiIg The office OF sanitary inspector gen
erai} OF the TereTt Of the committee on ordi-
BaDCts in relation 10 the sanitary bureau. After
considerable debate, Mr.. Marbury moved that
the whole subject be tabled until June lst, in
order 20 give mehbeTs OF the board opPor-
unity 10 personally inspect the sanitary bureau
Ii irregularities exist they can doubtless be
rene died without such a sweeping change. Al
the Inspector general desires il to know the
i'-hes Of the board, and he will carry them cut
Nj. MarbuTy motion was lost, DIR. Cox and
air. MSTGUry votizig aye. The first section OF
MaTtury voting against it. The second section,
relieving the health officer as secretary of the
board, and providing for the election OF health
ofhceT 10y ballot, to serve for one year, ~ss
adopted by the same vote. The third section
OF the report providing for the employmeR ut of
a clerk TO the health officer, At q salary not to
exceed sl,oc0 per year, was then adopted ny
the same vote. The recommendation OF the re-
port that the present number OF inspectors De
not increased. and that the heath officer re-
district the cities OF Washington and George
town, giving each inspector a separate district
oaS adopted. DIR. Gov ard tIr. MarbGry vottA z
= no." The next recommendation OF the re-
PcIt--that hereafter in filling vacancies among
the iusyt ctors one third OF the whole number Be
phN sicians-neNt came mp tor discussion.
Nj. Als-buTy sail- The employment of any
n~oTe physicians struck him as unnecessary.
IhtTciS
ONE PHYSICIAN TOO MANY
in this hoard already. End doctors, well as
ctlsSr tOiks, disagree. For instance, there are
two schools OF medicine represented in this
board. In New York, ElGer the new charter.
~ y-iciars are LEFT opt OF the board eff health
altogether He Mr.. tM } thought this as going
too tar however, and that there should be som
medical men in every board Of health.
Dr. COX said if the gentleman had read She
New York papers he must have observed that
there Is general indignation expressed in regard
to the exclusion. o. physiciaDG from the beard OF
health.
Mir Marbury still failed to see the use Of any
more ply Scians. The board wants As insps< tors
PRACTICAL, COMMor-sENSE MEN.
DR.. BkIs, with some feeling, said the Physi-
clans on the board have quite a. much COMMON
serse as the laymsn, and are better fittee;by
education for the performance o. their duties
Mr. MaTbGry discalmed any Intention OF being
personal ia his remarks
DIR. Bliss-4.Did you not say that we had oEe
too many physicians in the board %
Mr. MarbGfy.-''1 did. The beard now has
in ITS employ eleven physicians, and there are
three in the beard. therefore believe we have
1000 year are, generally speaking. not very
competent, and 1, for one, would rather have
practical common sense iayman than third
class physician" he moved that two physicians
instead OF four be employed as inspectors, but
the motion was lost MessFS. LangstOn and Mar
bnry voting aye. The original TecO aiG.o ndation
was then adopted
The recommendations of the report hat the
health officer take under confederation the sug
pestIOns of the sanitary inspector general, aud
that the health officer be furnished with such
books and blanks as he may rec uire, were adopt
ed. DT. Cox and Mr. Marbary voting ''IO.'
The last clause OF the report, highly
COM2LIMENTING THE ISsPEC TOR GENEEAL,
and asserting that he favors Tie reorganization
of the sanitary bureau az FecomGlenied by the
report, was next considered.
Mr.. MaIbury said he would vote for that
clause onig that he believed il L2isrepresented
the views Of the sanitary inspector general.
Mr.. LaD.stcn COntended that the changes are
made Witi the hearty concurrence of that
officer.
Mr. Marbury said Mr.. Gatchel was present.
and lie wOulG Ike to hear a statement from him
in relation to CHS matter.
DIR. Cox said the assertion in the report that
the sanitary inspector general IS in favor of being
legislated out OF Sltice is not only unnecessary,
but ungenerous.
MIR. LangstOn repeated that the change was
made with the concurrence of the sanitary
inspector general, Who had exhibited a most
magnanimOus spirit in the matter.
DIR. Cox objected. 1t was unfair to ask Mr..
Gatchel to make a statement, since, il he did
concur in the report, his concurrence was that
OF the man who has
HIS HEAD IN THE LIONS MOUTH.
DR.. Bliss said lie was sstOnished that the gem
tleman had signed the report OF the committee.
DIR. Cox saidh he did so without much cOnsidera-
ton and without deeming immediate action i'm
peratlve. When IL came to a vote on the report
as a whole he should move that it 90 INTO eiiec.
on the 1st of July. 1t was unfair to cut Mr.
Gatchell of without a moments notice.
The motion TO hear Mr. Gatchell's statement
was carried-Drs. Verdi and Cox voting against
Mr.. Gatchel said the mater was about as
represented by Mr.. LangstOn. There are some
duties which can better be pert by medi-
cal man. There were certain provisOs talked
OF, however, before the report was made, which
1t might be improper for him to state.
The last clause of the report waS adopted.
Before taking a vote on the report as a whole,
Mr.. Marbury moved to lay it on the table.
DIR. Bliss moved to adjourn, and his motion
was carried. The adoption of the report as q
whole, therefore, went over.
