WHAT IT IS

Ignorance of public affairs is no longer
excused; it is not sufficient to depend on
books; you must keep pace with the pro
gress of current history. The busy man
or woman cannot take time to wade
through the great padded daily papers,
while the monthly reviews are too ency-
plopedic, heavy and stale. THE PATH
FINDER just fills the bill without empty

OPINION ON
HEALTH BOARD

Deputy Attorney General William
H. Fisher of Augusta, in an opinion
rendered Friday at the request of
DR.. A. q. Young, division director of
the State Department of Health,
says that he finds no authority for
a local board of health to consist of
more than three members. and as
the health officer is one member OF
the board, it follows that the num-
Der to be appointed in addition to
such health officer is two.
Section Is of chapter 10 of the
public laws of 1916 provides for the
appointment by the municipal otli-
GERS Of a health officer who shall
be the sanitary adviser and eXecu-
tive officer of the board, and who
shall hold Office during the pleasure
of the board
Under this statute, the health
officer evidently is not a member Of
the board of health, which the law
requires shall consist of three men,
bers, and therefore as the law was
prior to 1919 local board of health
consisted of three members besides
the health officer.
by chapter 11o of the public laws
of 1919, the law relative to appoint
mcnt of local health officers was
changed and that act, now in force,
provides as follows:
Every city. town and organized
plantation shall employ an officer
who shall be known as the local
health officer and who shall be APP
pointed by the officers of the mu-
nicipality subject to the approval of
the state commissioner of health.
Upon the failure to fill said office as
hereinbefore stated within so days
after u vacancy occurs therein, the
state commissioner of health may
appoint such official. The local
health officer shall be ex-officio q
the local board of health, or at the
option of the municipal officers, may
take the place of the local board of
health.
1T will be noted that whereas I'M
der the former statute the health
officer was the sanitary adviser of
the board and held his office during
the pleasure of the board, which
prccludes the idea that he was a
member of the board itself, the act
of 1919 provides that the local
health officer shall be eX-officio a
member of the board and shall be
appointed by the municipal officers.
II find no authority for a local
board of health to consist of more
than three members, and as the
health officer is one member of the
board, sit follows that the number
to be appointed in addition to such
health officer is two.
Yours very truly.

Ibsen drama which has been popular
lied in this country by Nazimova, the
