Women will have full recognition at
the hands of the new board of county
commissioners. This was demonstrated
yesterday when the board appointed
Mrs Jennie B. Whipple as superin-
tendent of the county infrmary, and
Mrs. DR.. Belle Anderson Gemmell dep
uty county physician.
The placing of a woman at the head
of the county poor house is a new de-
parture and the result viii be watched
with interest. Mrs. Whipple is a Wom-
an OF ability and came We'll recon-
mended. Her appointment VIII serve
the purpose of doing away with the
rnatron, and this fact. together with
the reduction in salary of the superin-
tendent will result in saving TO the
county of $50 per month.
DIR. ANDERSON COUNTY PHYSI-
CLAN.
DR.. Washington Franklin Anderson
was appointed county physician on
condition that he appoint his daughter
DR.. Belle a. Gemmell, one of the lead
ing practicing lady physicians of the
city, his deputy.
The members of the board visited
the infirmary yesterday morning. They
became impressed with two things.
First, the matron which has been at
monthly expense of $50 to the county
could be dispensed with, and second,
that more room for the accommodation
of inmates is needed. The first could
be brought about by the appointment
OF a woman as superintendent, the
second will receive attention later. The
board believes that at a small expense
a hospital can be added TO the poor
farm, where all feeble and sick people
could be cared for by the county at a
for them in the city. Then the idea
of the board is TO place as many Of
the cOunty'S poor at the infirmary as
can possibly be cared for. This will
be cheaper than to rent houses up town
as is now done with something like 100
families.
