These appointments are all in recog-

the first Of January, the beginning of
the city's fiscal year.
Windesheim "a Veteran.
Dr. G. Windesheim, who has been
named as director~of public health ac-
tivities, is veteran in this line of
work and he has won a high place
among health officers Of the state on
account of his work in Kenosha. His
department is charged with all mat
tiers pertaining to the public health
Of the city and it is expected that un-
der the new form of government there
wills be some enlarging Of the func-
tions of the department. 1t was sug-
gested that the work of the city ply
stefan would be placed in this depart
ment but after mature consideration
Manager Osborn decided to retain the
old plan Of having the city physician
employed outside the department. DR..
Windesheim has been in charge of the
health department since the passage
of the ordinance creating it and much
of the organization which has won
high praise throughout the state has
been in keeping with the sugges-
tions he has made to the officials
Of the city.
Unites Inspection Departments.
M. A. Albers, who has served the
city in the capacity of building in
spector under the old regime, becomes
chief Inspector of the department
under the new order Of things and his
department will include all inspection
of buildings, the issuance of permits,
inspection plumbing and electrical
work and the inspection Of weights
and measures. It is expected that the
department. will be organized along
lines which have been followed in the
past but the program for the depart
ment will be worked out following
conferences between the director and
the city manager.
Saftig Popular as Official.
The appointment Of Jacob Saftig to
have charge of the important depart
ment of outdoor relief will be a most
popular one as Mr.. Saftig has been in
this department for a period of more
than ten years and his work has at
tracted favorable mention from all
parts of the state. His methods of
handling the important work of car
ing. for the poor of the city have been
declared to be the most modern
employed in any city in Wisconsin
and many of the Wisconsin cities have
patterned their departments after the
methods followed in Kenosha. Direc-
tor Saftig has given a great personal
interest to the problem of care of the
poor and his years Of experience prom
Uses to make him a most valuable aid
to the new city government in the
department.
