HEALTHOF CITY
MUST BE GUARDED
Mayor Considering Securing
Service of Sanitary Expert,

The health of the city, Mayor Paine
believes, should be guarded constantly,
at whatever cost of money or time.
His plans to place a trained sanitary
engineer at the head of the health de
partment, announced during his cam
paign last November. have been de-
layed, but he still hopes to secure the
services of such a man The difficulty
is that the salary fixed by law is in
adequate, yet the city charter pro-
hibts any city official from holding any
other office or accepting payment in
any other official position. An ar
rangement has been discussed by which
the superintendent Of health might be-
come a member of the faculty OF the
medical college of the University of Ten
nessee, which would provide compensa-
ton sufficient to induce trained sani-
tartan to accept the two positions.
Mayor Paine has had in MING for
months a man whose reputation is ma
ton wide in sanitation work, but who
could not consider the $4,000 salary
which the head OF the health depart
ment receives.
DR.. ]. L. Andrews has wished for
months to resign in order to attend to
his private practice, but was persuaded
TO remain until the mayors plans could
be worked out,
A number of engineering problems are
involved IN the city health program
which must be carried out this year or
next These include an extensive new
sewer system, the construction OF nuv
merous culverts, which would eliminate
open bayous in some sections, and the
planning of better housing conditions in
some negro sections. Commissioner
Allen is at work on plans for extending
the sewer system. New legislation may
be needed before some of the mayor S
plans can be carried out.
