HEALTH MATTERS,
A communication from DIR. E. G.. Myers,
the Health Officer of Ohio county, trans
mitted the information, by him received
from De. Harris, Secretary OF the State
Board of Health, that the State Board had
approved the nominations by the commits
siouers as members of the County Board.
The Doctor supposed this Settled the ques-
tiou "a to the legality of the existence OF the
Local Board Of Health, unless our brilliant
Prosecuting Attorney can find some other
techuicality which ,au be used as an OBJ
structive measure. The City Council, con-
trary to one Of the city ordinances, has
transformed its Committee on Health into
o Board Of Health. The legality of this
action has not yet been determined. The
mere fact that thsy are not enforcing the
law in regard to the registration of vital
statistics, reports of contagious diseases,
etc, is either an admission that they ques-
ton their own legal existence, or else they
intend 10 allow the law to remain inopera-
tive"
The Health Officer then went on to
make some suggestions about the advisa-
bility Of the Board fixing his salary.
When the reading Of the paper had been
concluded, Mr.. Speidel moved that the
paper be rejected on the ground that the
language in which it was couched was not
respectful. After some discussion, this
was withdrawn, and Mr.. McGregor moved
to defer action until the next meeting.
This was also Withdrawn, aud the matter
was laid on the table by a vote of G TO 4.
At the afternoon session the matter OF
the appointment Of the City Health Board,
and its effect npon the collection of vital
statistics, etc, was taken up and dis,
cussed at some length, the Prosecuting
Attorney addressing the Board upon the
unfortunate situation things had got into.
II was finally agreed to give Mr.. Jordan
time to look into the matter thoroughly,
and the matter was laid over.
