OF HEALTH
Department AF|zzLE

DR.. Genoway was before the men,
bers Of the board Of public works
this forenoon to answer questions
relative to the conduct of the city
crematory. Present with the men,
bsrs were Councilman Baldwin and
Koontz.
What was intended to be in the ma
ture Of an investigation proved a
sort of general discussion of the
crematory management, which took
UP the entire forenoon and left the
Investigators about as wise as they
were prior to the meeting.
DR.. Genoway admitted that there
were some conditions under which
the crematory might be run at less
cost, but laid the blame of extra ex-
pense onto the scavengers, who didn't
get the garbage to the crematory
just when the crematory was ready
for it.
He stated that 1t was costing just
as much to burn II tons as 1t would
to burn 2b tons, and declared that
not one-quarter Of the stuff burned
was manure, or paid for.
The doctor advocated the placing
of the garbage hauling in the hands
Of the city, but admitted that the
time was hardly ripe for that.
In lieu Of this he said an ordinance
was being drawn dividing the city
into districts, having two to four
districts in the business portion from
which the garbage should be hauled
daily and districts in the residence
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-10-11

portion from which It could be hauled
about every five days.
During the discussion Commission
er Weymouth took occasion to modify
his published statement concerning
the lax business methods at the cre-
matory and in the health department.
These reporters didn't get 1t
right" said Mr.. Weymouth. you
can't open your mouth any more but
what one of these damned reporters
is around-them"-a just then
the commissioner turned to discover
two reporters at his elbow. This
stopped the apologetic end.
City Engineer Gill showed that by
cutting down the number Of men en-
ployed at the crematory to four the
garbage could be burned for so cents
ton and that by cutting down to
three men It should cost but "a cents
a ton.
The board devoted most Of the time
then trying to ascertain why the de-
partment couldn't reduce the force to
three men when there were only IA
tons being burned daily. At the ad-
journment the question was still be-
ing discussed.
During the session II developed that
the scavengers were keeping away
from the crematory as much as they
could and had united to buy place
outside Of the city where the garbage

This is taken to that chairman of the finance

conduct of the cremaory and the business

The matter will result in bitter fight and it is pre-
diced that the move will mark the first split between

REORCANIzE HEALTH
Department At ONCE
-Conncilman Snyder
Councilman Snydes

There is but one way to settle this health
department muddle," said Councilman Snyder this
afternoon. Ny idea is to pass an ordinance
organizing the department and placing it busi-
nesslike basis That only be done by putting in
health officer. paying him $3.50 for himself, and
having him devote his whole time to the department.
1t is sin to permit so important department to
be run in the haphazard fashion it now is. Person
ally, have nothing against DR.. Genoway. 1t is that
the system permits him to pay little permission
as he sees fit to the city s business
''What is needed in a city of this size is
thoroughly organized department of health with
capable surgeon at the head of it at salary which
will warrant his giving his whole time to the citys
business. He would be city physician and police
surgeon, and we certainly need police surgeon
here.
GAS it is, Dr. Genoway doesn' visit the isolation
hospital often enough to know the route hardly.
There's numbers Of cases of typhoid, Mphtheria and
contagious diseases by the which he
He sends out the sanitary inspectors, who know
nothing of medicine surgery and they pass the
cases.
81 understand that the entire business Of the
department is on the shoulders Of the lady clerk.
She is bright capable woman, and worth all the
rest Of the department put together, and she is
tainly entitled to more money than she gets. But
she can't attend to the oceb and the outside
work, too.
"Dr. Potter visited the hospital every day and
put in his time for the citys benefit. Because DR..
Genoway has to pay the clerk part Of his salary to
run the department for him, he doesnt put in much
time there.
"a city Of this size should have regular health
officer who did nothing else but attend to city bust
ness Until the department is reorganized and this
is done we are going to have trouble.
'Just look at the crematory muddle. It is
plain indication that business methods needed
badly. There's no system there and only faint at
tempt at official supervision. Put in who will
his salary, pay his clerk separately and get rid
of this schoolboy way of doing business The health
Of the people of the city demand this more than
anything else.''
