REPORT

of the State Board of Health in the
matter of the application of the
Selectmen of the Town of Brigh-
ton, asking for the removal of the
Health Officer of that town, DIR. II.
F.. Sargent.
The testimony in this case was taken
by the Board at Island Pond July 29th,
aud later at Montpelier August 26th.
At the first hearing, July 29th, the
Selectmen appeared oy their chairman,
E. NJ. Bartlett. and DR.. Norcross. The
Health Officer was represented by II. B,
Amey, Esq, and Fl, W. Blake, Esq. The
testimony of many witnesses was taken,
and the rules of evidence were followed
as closely as possible by the Board, hav-
ing in view to give each side an oppor-
tunity for free expression of its views.
After carefully going over the testi-
mony, as taken by the stenographer,
covering some seventy pages, the Board
begs leave to report as follows:
% 1t was charged that the Health
Officer had completely ignored the ma
iitilN VI VI I1cdlbH lot
the past four months. This charge was
based mainly on the fact that the Health
Officer had made no effort to secure an
organization of the local Board OF
Health. 1t did not appear that he had
at any time refused to attend meeting
of the local Board, and the failure of the
local Board TO organize as such was as
much the fault OF the other members OF
this Board as that of the Health Officer
In the absence of any statutory provi-
sion requiring the Health Officer to call
meeting of the local Board, for the
purpose of organization, the response.
blity for failure to organize is not fairly
chargeable to the Health Officer alone
(2) 1t was charged that he had
ordered the destruction and removal OF
socalled nuisances without the consent

their opponents with twenty a. their

also played fine game accepting all his
chances without an error and Smith in

moyal Of DIR. Sargent, the Health Oh
Ger. Dr.. Sargent at this hearing also
presented a petition, supplementary to
one previously presented at the hearing
at Island Pond, signed also hy citizens
OF Brighton, expressing their confidence
in him, and asking that he lie retained
as Health Officer. SIX names APPEARED
on both these petitions. l)eductlug
these from each, the petition asking for
the removal contains To- names, and
the one asking for the retention OF the
officer has PA names. At this last
hearing 1t Was further charged that the
Health Officer had made improper
charges for service against the Town OF
Brighton. This is matter between the
Town and the Health Oihcer, and Is not
one for adjudication by the State Board.
II the Health Officer has done quaran-
timing or dislntecting that was unueces-
sary or uuwarrautrd, It may show un-
hue zeal in protecting the public health,
but the local Board can decide whether
this is 50, and il so whether the bills
should b- paid.
Ia view OF the foregoing the State
Board OF Health does not feel warranted
in exercising the authority, given by the
Statutes, of removing the Health Officer
of the Town Of Brighton. The Board
ventures to express the hope that the
present Board OF Seiectmeu and the
Health Officer, all OF whom it has rea-
son 10 believe have the best Interests Of
their town at heart. will make an honest
effort to work togeth er tremendously IN
the interests of the public health, and
this Board also wishes to do all that it
can ia fairness aud justice to all con
cerned to promote this result.
Respectfully submitted,
State Board of Health.

their handsome home recalls the reason given by
Mr. Root for declining to retain the portfolio of
State during the Taft administration. Mr. Root
largely actuated by the socitude of Mrs. Root
explained L Judge Taft that his health not
equal the arduous duties Of Secretary Of State
and in addition, the elaborate entertaining de-
manded by the office. Mrs. Root felt that the
strain would be great, although she believed
her husband could easily perform the duties Of a
Senator, as entertaining would then be expected
OF them. The retirement OF the family from a
house especially suited entertaining and their
leasing Of an apartment entirely in accordance
with Mrs. Roots deter1nih Ition 10 do compare
lively little entertaining during Mr.. Roots term
