SHAKE-UP IN HEALTH
 BOARD QUITE LIKELY
Dr. H. T. Bray, Always Hard Worker for Depart
 mcnt, Mentioned

During the recent campaign there
 were numerous pc I'll DTS to the
 effect that tn. uentoCtGt Scandidate if elected, would clean out City Hall
 and begin with the health depart
 ment. This rumor was ampitied by
 the report, in some quarters, that
 Dr. Fred Lee, superintendent, was
 slated to go.
 l Mayor PaoncsSa, then candidate,
 branded that report as false and an
 nounced both before and after cleo ton. that he was well satisfied with
 Dr. Lee and had no idea Of remov- ing him or causing him to he re- moved. He intimated other changes, 1 however.
 However, there is a well founded report that all is not well with the health department, according to the mayors viewpoint, and wholesale "clean-up" there is expected by those who are watching City Hall affairs closely. Just who is slated for the discard and who is to be appointed has not been intimated. but there is a well founded belief that Dr. Frank Zwick, chairman of the board, heads the list of those who will feel the official aX descend upon the official neck, pr. Zwick was a republican Iappointee.
 Spec llation as to who his successor will be- if he is dropped, leads to the popular belief that Dr. Henry T. Bray will again be seen as an active mem Der Of that board, Dr. Bray, it will be remembered, was first active health of ticer tho city ever had and as the health department broadcnod in it's scope it was necessary to employ a full time superintendent. Dr. Bray has always been actively interested in this department, both as an official and as a private citizen, and it is confidently predicted by his friends that the new administration will rec ognize him, both as a physician, a health expert and a democrat, by ap- pointing him chairman. The appoint ment of a dentist to the health board is also expected as an innovation Of the new administration. There has been a strong agitation for better care of chidrens teeth and the appoint nent of a dentist to the health board is believed to be planned as step in the right direction.
