UnfavOrabIe Report of Health
Bill Brings Pathetic
Scene in House,

DR.. John N. Hurty, who gave
twenty-six years to the advancement
Of public health in Indiana. saw one
of the ambitions of his life crumble
today with the defeat by the House
of Representative of his bill to re-or-
ganize the public health system Of the
State.
DR.. Hurry for years has cherished
the ambition to reorganize the health
system on what he believed to be an
efficient basis. He was a candidate
for the Legislature for the purpose OF
bringing about the enactment of the
bill
Standing before the House, his
voice rising high with the feebleness
of his years, he presented a pathetic
figure as he argued and pleaded for
his bill. Opponents of the bin ex-
pressed high regard for DIR. Hurty,
but their opposition to his measure,
based on what they termed economy,
was strong. DR.. Hurry denied the
measure would bring more expenses,
and insisted in the long run it would
result in the saving of thousands Of
lives and millions in money.
The bill provided for the reorgani-
zatlon Of the board Of health to in
clude all classes interested in health
work for the establishment Of county
and city boards Of health and for
the appointment of qualified all time
health officers in their place.
The bill was reported out by the
Committee on State Medicine and
Public Health with a divided report,
the majority favoring indefinite post
ponement and the minority, signed by
five members, for passage. The House,
by ballot, voted to reject the minority
report, and on a viva voce vote ap-
