The following Is The communication.

To be sure Il was scientific and theoretical
for DR.. Lupinski 10 demonstrate msthenst-
ieally that the PLUMP Ders were mis-
taken ia their calculations. Dut II seems TO
me- extremely practical 10 save The city from
paying for work that was mol done accord
ing 10 agreement, Tor lt Is almost needless
20 add that the plum seTs we're required 10
comply with Dr. Lupinski's calculations be-
fore the work was accepted.
DF. Brsdneld and DR.. Robinson know
that last year DR.. Lupinski took the lead Ia
almost ali the measures that were adopted
or suggested by tns board. This is not IA
criticism Of the board, Tor as 1 was then
member. the statement applies 10
myself as we'll to the Others.
In my opinion every man now on the
Board ought 10 know that DR.. Lupinskis
work is extremely practical. Ii members
OF the board can show the public that | am
wrong in my statement. / snall DC only too
glad TO see the matter in print. | should
| ike speciac charge, not u general state
ment-
Why do not the Board OF Health publish
his annual report anu let the citizens Judge
of MS plans instead of suppressing the eyi'
dence OF mis- work st the same time they
pass damaging judgment upon II. Al
| though the OLD Board had ordered three
| hundred copies OF tue report printed the
new Board had seen ht tO ignore that &C.
| ton.
| / did not see Mr. Calkins before the ac-
| ton of the Board, but | sent him a COM
munication on the subject. from which the
following is an extract: "lt is not my inten-
| ton TO represent DR.. Lupinski as a great
executive officer. but wish To cali your
attention to some points In bis executive
| work. be came here a year ago in MAY q
| stranger to the city, its topography. its
| laws and its sanitary condition. AS soon
as he entered upon his duties he prom pity
| attended TO the exigcncles OF his position
| that is he personally investigated every case
of contsgious or infectious disease, and
| inspected such nuisances as were reported
| to the office. In addition TO tais he trav-
ersed the length and breadth of the city to
| learn its topography. He thoroughly stud
| led the city ordinances pertaining 10 his
| office, in order TO know when and how far
| he was justified in resorting TO legal action;
| he Investigated the dairles Tor miles outside
! the city limits 10 learn the sanitary con-
| ditions under which our milk is produced,
| ana personally went through our slaughter
houses to know the conditions under which
| our meat is prepared Tor market.
As soon as the schools opened DR.. Lupin-
| ski personally visited all the schools in the
| city, both public and private, in order to
place them under proper sanitary control.
| Ii probably is not necessary for me to speak
| of his Office work, since most of bis methods
| have BEEN introduced since you have been
| on the Board. but | cannot forbear to ask,
does not Dr. Lupidski give evidence of exec
utive ability by the methods he employs in
| directing the work Of bis inspector, in filing
| the reports OF infectious and contagious
| diseases and in systematically recording
| the certificates of death2'
| As | said before. believe all these state
| ments TO De correct but ii Mr.. Calkins or
| any other member of the Board can show
I wherein | am mistaken | shall be glad TO
| have the matter discussed; but in converse
| ton with Mr Calkins after the action of the
| board be gave me no facts or opinions op-
| posed TO my statements. Alderman Shana-
! han had substantially The same informa-
ton from myself and other friends, and. as
| / SAID before. / mad supposed that he ad-
| mitted the truth and value of my state
ments. | feel very strongly on this point
for II the Board and their executive officer,
| do not intend 10 carry out the measures
| DIR. Lupinski has outlined for them, | feel
that the city will be the loser thereby. and
| If they do intend to adopt the plans
| now before them. | think II sufficient TO
deprive a man of the satisfaction of aiding
| with hi, own hand and brain 10 develop
the measures he has fathered without re-
fGsing to accord him the credit which is bis
| just due.
The public, as have said, cannot follow
the daily details OF the health department
but they have right TO demand know
| ledge OF tks general policy OF the Board
| The inform alton, II seems TO me. ought %
| be given TO them by the publication, 10
outline at least. of the monthly statements
and reports OF the executive officsr, the
| publication in full of his annual report
| and the discussion which these reports give
rise TO in the public pres.
