DR.. K. Arthur Carr to be a member OF
the hoard. and for that reason they may
put II up to the members Of the state
board OF health to appoint Or. F. w.
Tucker to succeed DR.. Wilson as state
health Inspector.
II has been the general opinion around
the state house that Governor Shallen-
berger had intimated he intended to APP
point DR.. Tucker to this place and there
is no doubt DR.. Tucker would like the
place and around the democratic state
headquarters there is an impression that
the doctor earned some place.
The great question is whether he should
be the state health Inspector or the royal
"Chauffer," which position he filled so
admirably before and after the election.
With a royal ~"chauffer" it is probable the
state would save money compared with
the rate charged for royal hacks and car
riages. Besides, should an accident occur
the royal 'chauffer,' being a licensed
physician, could treat the royal patient
himself.
But not considering the job OF royal
"chauffer," the board Of secretaries is en-
powered by law to three physi-
clans to the state board for appointment
as health inspector. The board members
are of the opinion the governor is pledged
to DR.. Tucker, so II thes include the doctor
In their recommendations il will be up
to the governor to either turn the Lincoln
doctor down cold or follow out the doctors
desires and appoint him. Either way the
governor acts he will disappoint some one!
