Republicans Will Come Into Control
Of the Board Of Health January |
and DR.. W. {. Ramsay Is SChGd-
uIed to O---Severe Examination
Must be Passed.

At the first meeting OF the Board
of Health in January when the repub-
licans come into control an attempt
will be made to remove the present
inspector DR.. William e. Ramsay
and il is understood that Dr. George
w. Fithian, of 1S1 High street, is
slated to succeed him. The eXamin-
ations, which a person must pass to
become an inspector for the Board of
Health, are very hard and DR.. Fifth
ian is now preparing himself to pass
them.
Last year, when an attempt was
made to appoint successor to Dr.
Ramsay, by naming Ira b. Tice, it
was explained to the board that the
examinations were so hard that it
would be impossible for any one who
had made a special study of sanitary
matters to get through.
For several months some of the
members of the board have been at
loggerheads with Dr. Ramsay in re-
gard to number of important mat
ters and they think that the only way
TO get the best result in a board of
any kind is to have it composed of
people who will work together.
