 Dr Spring thinks Health Officer O'Hara of Waterbury was trying to make 8 noun tain out of mole hill when. he reported him to the county health officer for not making more definite report of "a case of scarlet fever that he was called to attend in the outskirts of Waterbury. In report ing the case his attention was called to something else, and he neglected to write the full name. giving only the given and middle letter of the patients name. with a description as near as he could to location. A few days afterwards he received notice from the health officer to give him more definite instructions. which he immedi- ately did by letter with his return headings on, but which the health officer says he never received, but notified the county health officer of the case. As the let ter did not come back, Dr Spring thinks that he did all that the law required of him.
