Abolishing the Office of Coroner

Not long ago DR.. P. A. Jacobs. the coroner
Of Cuyahoga county, Ohio, resigned his Job
after holding It one month, saying that from
study OF the laws governing the Office and
knowledge gained as coroner. he concluded
that the skill and knowledge of q physician
are not required to perform the duties of cor
oner. He is firmly convinced that the legisla-
ture should abolish the Office and competent
medical advisor should be employed on salary
basis by the prosecuting attorney to view
bodies and perform autopsies without any mar
row restrictions upon his discretion in such
matters. He also laid stress upon the posi-
bility under present methods of persons guilty
Of causing death going unpublished.
The office costs about $1,000 year. The
Civic league Of Cleveland has been trying to
get it abolished ever since 1912, when a COM
mittee OF five doctors and four laymen made
a study OF the position and proposed that the
ONCE be abolished. 1t was proposed to sub
stitute a medical examiner in the ONCE OF the
prosecuting attorney. The medical examiner
system exists in New Jersey and Massachu-
sets and New York city. The best reason for
the existence Of the coroners office in these
days is probably the one that was urged by a
former coroner Of New York city who said that
his Office had existed ever since ALFRED H."
