sAlARlEp OFFICES HARD TO

II seems probable that a majority
OF the members of the city council
will not seriously consider the sugges'
ton that the resignation OF DIR. J. r
Bagby as health officer gives the city
an excellent opportunity to cut down
expenses and reduce the number oil
salaried officers. II appeared tha'
with one of the doctor jobs" vacant,
and no encumbent to stir up his
friends in opposition to the abolition
of an office. the council. might quietly
arrange to combine two Offices ane
cut several hundred dollars OF the
annual salary list total. Recent de-
yelopments show, however, that the
aboIishing OF job is not an easy
task. When there are no encumDents
there are applicants, and the friends
of men who want jobs are just az
active as those who don't want to lose
jobs.
Probably every man in the council,
IL he viii give the matter thoush'
viii agree that il is nonsense for the
city to employ and pay two physle-
ians. one as health officer and the
other as city physician. And yet, with
an opportunity to combine these Of
fees under one salary, the members
seem to have no desire to~take adHan-
tage of IT,
No blame attaches to the gentlemsp
