Even If Deprived of His Practice He
VIII Run for Health officer.
The ordinance pending before the City
Council to restrict the health officer from
practicing medicine, and also providing
for raising his salary 70 $500, win not
have any effect in the candidacy of Health
officer LeHardy who recently declared
his intention of running again for the Of
flee. If the ordinance passes finally DR..
LeHardy will be candidate just the
same.
1T seems TO me this salary will hardly
be sufficient, if the health officer is TO be
restricted from other sources of lveli-
hood" said DR.. LeHardy yesterday. 81
have spent a good deal of time an my eff
forts to bring the department to a high
standard, and if the city viii make a suffi-
cient appropriation for the purpose, l will
make the department and its work second
to none in the country. To do this how
ever, will require a larger appropriation
than the city has been making hereto
fore. There are number of improve
meEts badly needed but which we have
been going without to our peril.
"Savannah's people has been blessed
with exceptionally good health during the
present administration" continued Dr.
LeHardy. IAN kinds of disease have been
held down to a minimum, there has been
no approaches to an epidemic of any kind,
and the death rate has been comparatively
low. All employees of my department have
attended closely to their duties, and the
results obtained have probably been sat
isfactory to all. No Partially has been
shown anybody when it came to a matter
of complying with the sanitary laws.
Special favors are granted to none for the
reason the public health is at stake, and
to sacrifice it for private gain is some
thing l have never DONE
DR.. LeHardy's chances of election at
the hands of the present Council cannot
yet be told. His chances cannot be judg-
ed until his opponent appears. 1t is ru-
mored Dr. w. S. Howkins, formerly city
physician, will be an applicant for the po-
sition. The prospect of opposition does
not strike DR.. LeHardy unfavOrably, how
ever, as he says the more in the fight the
merrier it will be.
