New York City has undertaken.

clines TO build up and maintain q public
health service large enough to cope with
this lifesaving problem. The city spends
nearly s26 per capita to run Its govern
ment, but of this amount only 30 cents
is allowed for the public health service.

is used by the healthful city or Seattle

"Wben we consider the weak support
that the city health service has received
from the public, and how many OF the
urgent appeals OF the Health Commits
sioner and the board for help have bees

upon themselves. but their effectiveness
depends almost entirely upon the tax
payers, who provide the funds 1t is true
that the health appropriations have been

has been exceedingly small compared TO
