Is q joke; the service he renders is
about iD proportion to the Pay he

DR.. Claude B. Williams, part time
health officer for the county is paid
$50 n month for his services as

service is 10 report the number Of

tagious diseases are reported. Il Is
j joke.
The city however employs whole

ject TO nobody in particular, work

In other words the city and county
wouid have to eypcnd only $l.1I0
