lative hearing on Statewide prohibition at

Resolutions Passed By The Counts
Commissioners.

The Board of County Commissioners o.
Montgomery County do respectfully. bu1
firmly, protest to the State Senator anC
the members of the House Of Delegate:
from Montgomery County in the Genera
Assembly of Maryland of 1915 against the
passage of House Bill No. 21O. introduced
by Delegate Waters.
By law the term of the present Health
Officer for Montgomery county terminates
on May l, 1915, and the object Of the bill
in question is to continue in Office for two
years beyond said date the present Health
Officer. DR.. C. H. Mannar. DR.. Mannar was
appointed Health Officer for the term end
ing on May 1. 1915. by the Board of County
Commissioners of this county. the person
mel of which has since changed, and the
plain purpose of this attempted legislation
is to deprive the present Board of County
Commissioners of the power to name a
successor to DR.. Mannar. as by law it is
now authorized to do. To accomplish this
purpose, local and political in nature, a
general State law has been sought to be
amended, and for that reason, if for no
other, the end and the means adopted are
vicious in character.
By an Act of the General Assembly OF
1914 the Board of County Commissioners
was created Health Board for the county
and much responsibility and many duties
placed upon it as such. Delicate problems
are arising in connection with sewage dis
posal in the thickly populated section OF
our county and with sanitation generally,
and it is of the greatest importance to the
public and to the Board of County Com
missioners that the Health Officer, who is
also its secretary when sitting as Board
of Health, should be person in whom the
board has full confidence, and 1t. in turn,
his confidence. with whom 1t can seek to
perform its duties with cordial co-opera-
ton. free from political influences of any
kind. This will be impossible II the effort
made by this bill be successful, for there
has been no secret about the intention OF
the present board not to re-appoint Dr.
Mannar.
The Board of County Commissioners is
responsible to the taxpayers Of Montgom-
cry county for the proper and efficient con-
duct of this important Office. This effort
to prevent the present board. their duly
elected representatives authorized by law
so to do, from naming this county official
who also by law is responsible to it and
acts as its secretary in health matters. is
solely an effort to serve political ends and
to make the Office subservient to factional
politics.
And be it further resolved. That Berry
E. Clark Clerk to the Board of County Com
missioners, forthwith transmit a copy OF
the foregoing resolution to the following

PhilipD Laird. House of Delegates, Hon

Would these prominent people recommend

of endorsement The following statement

every Rockville reader:
John E. West, Rockville, says: For al

and bladder trouble. | was stiff and sore
and knew that my kidneys were disordered.
The kidney secreti0ns were dlstressings In

Wilson's Drug Store, relieved all these diff
culties and benefited me In every way.
have recommended this medicine to several
other people and in each case where II has
been tried. benefit has been received"
Over three years later, Mr.. West said
II gladly confirm all have previously said
in praise Of Doans Kidney Pills. They do
all that Is claimed for them"

ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kid
