DIR. wooDWARD's STATEMENT.
Health Officer Says He Was Put in
False Light

Alleging that he was put in a false light
in connection with the publication of the
report of his Office upon the condition of
the transfer station of the Washington
Fertilizer Company, Health Officer Wood
ward today made statement In which he
disclaims responsibility for the publicity
given to the controversy.
The letter of the secretary and manager
of the Washington Fertilizer Company rel
alive to the garbage transfer station" he
states, Twill be duly considered when it
comes before the health officer officially
for that purpose. / will say now, however,
that in so far as that letter may be inter-
preted to mean that the health officer i'm
properly and unfairly or in any other man
ner gave out for publication his letter to
the Commissioners showing existing condi-
tons before allowing the Washington Fer
tilizer Company to explain or remedy those
conditions 1t is absolutely misleading. The
health officer had nothing to do with the
giving out for publication the letter COM
planned of. The reasons for the publication
of the health officers report at the time
when II was published were doubtless In
the mind of the person who authorized
such publication sufficient to justify that
course and his judgment as to the pro-
priety of the procedure may be as good as
that Of the representative OF the Washing
ton Fertilizer Company But the health
officer, having had nothing to do with the
matter, is not called upon to decide.
II am the more strongly impelled to make
this explanation in view of the fact that
the health officer was not along ago in a
similar manner charged by a representa-
tive of the Garfield Memorial Hospital with
the alleged premature publication of re-
port relative to that institution. although
the health officer had nothing whatsoever
to do with such publication. I think 1t
time now that the public should be set
right with reference TO the position of the
health officer with respect to such mat
