Penny Mire, Pound Foolish.

When a bank employs a man as a
cashier, II does not expect him TO act as
teller, for the reason that his services are
more valuable if he devotes his entire
time to the cashiers position than IL he
were TO be called away to look after the
details of some minor place. That is a
business mans way OF looking at the
matter before he becomes an alderman.
After attaining to aldermanic dignity,
however, the business man may imagine
that business rules do not apply to mu-
nieipal affairs.
A case in point is that of the health Of
ficer of the port. DR.. LeHardy, as every
body knows is an eminent sanitarian. He
has made a life study Of sanitary science,
and particularly as it Is applicable in Sa-
vannah. He is an able and energetic Of
ficer. He puts his whole soul into what
ever work he undertakes. He is going
forward with the health Offices business
in his characteristic style In the ofiice
he finds an abundance Of work to be done,
and he is doing It. Now. under new or
dinance, passed. It is suspected, for the
purpose Of disgusting DR.. LeHardy's sue
cesgor with the office. the health officer
is required TO attend calls at the barracks.
attend policemen and fremen, and exam
inc persons who are applicants for po-
sltions in these departments. And there
may be--there probably are-other side
duties required of the health officer.
II would appear to some persons that a
business mans way OF running che
health Office would be to limit the officers
duties 20 those things which are most
important 10 the city, and which come es-
pecially within the scope OF his functions.
namely. the quarantine OF the port and
tho sanitation OF the city. Some other
medical attache OF the municipal govern
ment. IL would seem. shsuld be required
to attend TO the minor details such as the
barracks calls and the examinations. II
aldermen were to manage their own prl-
vate businesses upon the plan that they
are managing the health Office. they would

the bookkeepers were sweeping the floor.

The Drainage work.

The position taken by the sanitary
board, that the drainage near the city is
of more importance than that miles away
in the country, will be indorsed by every
man, woman and child in Savannah who
is gifted with even a modicum of common
sense and comprehends in even small de-
gree the Importance Of drainage to the
public health. The taxpayers residing in
this city pay very nearly all the county
taxes. 1t is their money which is being
spent by the county commissioners, and
they have a right to expect to receive the
full benefit of the sums which they con-
tribute to the taxes. There Is, apparently,
no reason why the convict force should
be sent eight or nine miles away from
the city to drain a great swamp while
there is so much in the way of drainage
urgently needed in the city's outskirts.
Very few persons live in the section of
the county adjacent to the swamp which
1t is proposed shall be drained. If the
swamp were drained it is doubtful If the
Improvement would induce anybody to
settle there. 1t is waste of money, and
time, and opportunity to do needed drain
age Work IN the suburbs, 10 SEM the con-
victs to Buckhalter swamp.
Time and again attention has been call
ed to the want of drainage on the out
skirts of the city. Only a few days ago
the health officer called attention to the
matter in an interview published in this
paper. Since that time heavy rains have
fallen poor drains have become worse
choked, bottom lands have been flooded
and ponds formed, and water is standing
In numerous places Which should be dry.
In a short time the water will become
stagnant, green scum from decaying veg
etable and other matter will rise to the
surface and disease germs may be scat
tered upon the air If the county com
missioners are not convinced that this is
the case, let them take look at condi-
tons along the Ogeechee, Louisville and
White Bluff roads, and elsewhere in the
suburbs. 1t will not take them a great
while to make the investigation Having
made it, it is hardly to be believed that
they would waste the public money and
jeopardize the public health by taking the
drainage force away from the city and
putting it to work in the wilds of the
Little Ogeechee.
