THH BOARD OF HEALTH.
City Attorney Blease Makes Several Re-
concentrations In Regard to the
#p Board and Other matters.

The following letter from City Attor.
ney Blease was presented to Mayor
). W. Earhardt at the meeting Of city
council on Monday night. The letter
explains itself:
TO the Honorable Jno. w. Earhardt,
Mayor of Newberry, S. C.
Dear Sir:-I beg leave to call to your
attention the fact that as presently
constituted, three members of your
Board OF Health reside in Ward 8 and
two of them in Ward 4, thus leaving
Wards l, and s without representa-
tion on said Board. The Act of the
General Assembly does not specifically
state that one member must reside in
| each ward, but the intention of the law
makers must have been such; besides,
since their appointment one member
has changed his residence from Ward
to 3, another from to 4 and another
from l to q, and the fact that they were
residents Of these wards when ap-
pointed, think, shows the intention of
the then mayor of having each ward
represented, and l feel sure was the
intention of the General Assembly, and
not to bunch them all together. Ger
tainiy the interests of the town can
best be served if they live in separate
wards.
The Act reads: "It shall be the duty
of the mayor of every incorporated
city, town or village, by and with the
consent Of the city or town council, to
appoint five persons in cities of less
than 5000 inhabitants, and in cities ex-
ceeding 5000 the number may be in
creased to twenty" We have only so
far had five, and having five wards,
each has been represented. 1t would
not hurt to have larger body if your
Honor deems advisable. There are
other matters connected Herewith that
your Honor might look into.
l respectfully recommend that your
honorable body, the city council, petit
tion the members of the General Assem-
bly, from this county to have the mayor
of Newberry, S. c., made ex-offiicio a
member of the Board of Health and the
Board of Public Works Commissioners.
The re asons for this will not set out,
but future acts will prove to you the
expediency of such an Act of the Legis-
lature
l further recommend that your honor
able body, the city council, petition the
General Assembly to pass an Act chang
ing the length of the terms of the
mayor and aldermen to two (2) years
instead of one, as now provided. My
reasons for this are plain to you with
out stating them here.
l am glad to say that during the last
year, 1902, we have had no litigation,
no appeals, and that everything, 80 far
as the legal department is concerned,
passed pleasantly, and hope profita-
bly,. What opinions have given have
been accepted by the opposite sides and
no law suit has followed. In making
this report [ only act as feel best for
the people of the town and to put your
Honor in possession of such facts as
feel you should investigate.
lwish for you pleasant, successful,
and prosperous administration.
Respectfully submitted,
COLE. L. BLEAsE,
City Attorney.
The letter was received by council as
information, and no action will be
taken until a communication is received
from the Board of Health.
