STATE BOARD OF HEALTH

The following is just about what
we were going to say. but the editor
of the Tampa Times has saved US the
trouble of writing it:
The Times has received copy of
the revised sanitary code of the Flor
ida State Board of Health, which also
contains all rules, laws and general
instruction and information pertaining
to public health activities in Florida
This book is one that has been long
needed by the county and city health
officers, physicians, social workers and
others interested in safeguarding the
health of the people.
In submitting the rule book to the
public, Joe L. Earman. president of the
board of health, advises that the phys
ical property of the board is in most
excellent condition. this having recent
| ly undergone all needed repairs. Mr..
Earman also gives some interesting
| figures as to the financial condition of
the body.
Florida has been able, for the past
two years, to secure expenditure of
funds from outside sources to actually
equal and match practically every dol
| lar of state, board of health money
spent.
| 1t has not been necessary to use all
Of the money that has been allotted
to the state board of health from tax
alton.
Administration, supply and activi-
ties generally, have been centralized
to replace the former condition of de-
naturalization.
From 1889, the year in which the
state board of health was created to
and including the year 1917, the total
income of the state board of health
was S1,S03, 477.98. The expenditures
for this period were $1,779, 264.64. The
amount saved for the period was S24,-
213.34, $864.76 for each year.
The receipts for the years 1918,
1919 and 1920 were $519, 958.5S. The
disbursements for these three years
were S460,052.65, a saving of $780,
905.93 for the three years or an av-
erage of 19,968.64 each year.
The policy of the state board of
health has been to accumulate and re-
tain $4,000 whereby epidemics, or
unusual conditions, could be taken
care of effectively at all times. The
commissions of the present members
of the state board of health will ex-
pire on June 5, and, as near as can be
estimated at, this time, there will be
left to the state board of health in the
state treasury. approximately $780,
l50118.
1t is seldom that a public service
board make such splendid report as
this, and the members of the state
board of health, on the eve of their
retirement from public office. certain
ly deserve the grateful appreciation
of the people of Florida for their
lsplendid work.
