HEALTH OFFICERS pRTIEs
Some OHieiaIs Feel That They Cannot Act Without Specific Complaint.

Coming in contact with health ofi- cers throughout the state, we have been surprised to find that there ex- ists an impression that they cannot act in health matters without specific complaint being made. says the Octo- Der issue of the Connecticut Health Bulletin of the state board of health. Ii has also been observed that health officers perform theid duties in an apologetic manner.
 These impressions we desire to cor rect. It is plainly the health officers duty investigate and assure him. self that there are no places or con- ditions within his Jurisdiction prejudi- cial to public health. The law clearly states that the health officer has all preservation and protection of public health. Surely, if he were a police omcer instead of a health officer. he would not feel it his duty to approach for interference and offering the ex- ruse that action was necessary be- cause MT. Jones had sent him a writ ten complaint: and there is no reason why the health officer should hesitate, apologize and betray a good citizen who supplies information concerning violation of health law and decency.
 We hope that the day will come when every health officer will be SO in touch with his territory that it will be unnecessary for citizens to make. complaint, but until such perfection in health administration is reached the citizen who is sufficiently interest ed in public health and welfare to supply information that will lead to the correction of insanitary conditions should be protected. If there are any health officers remaining in the state who daily observe gross insanitary conditions and fail to take action be- cause they have not received a formal complaint, we would advise them to give this comment careful considera- tiOn

despite the fact that the shipments
were made prior to November l. In
some instances these taxes have
