HEALTH OFFICE
DEN0UNCEDIN
ALEXANDRIA

ALEXANDRIA, Va, June "a
State health commission report on
its recent survey of the Alexandria
health department, which Council.
man John T. Ashton termed "a
terrible indictment of the health
department." was submitted to the
city council last night.
Although other councilmen did
not share DR.. Ashton's view of the
report, submitted by DR.. I. C. Rig
gin, Virginia health commissioner,
all voted to investigate the report,
the health department and health
conditions in the city at the spe-
cial meeting, June 20.
The report, while directed at
health conditions in general, cen.
tered on practice of DR.. w. Lewis
Schafer, city health officer, in
treating poor Of the city at the
health office and in engaging in
private practice.
Stating that DR.. Schafer spends
only from two-thirds to three.
quarters of his time in health
work." the report said:
'By far the greatest part of
his health department time is
taken up by the medical care Of
the poor. In q very general
way only does he supervise the
activities Of the subordinate
personnel"
Referring to the fact that the
city council sanctions m d c q
care at the health office "for
all who apply despite their finan-
cial status" it states that an aver,
age of 40 persons a day were
treated at the health office last
year. and recommends:
That the health officer should
cooperate with the medical pro-
fession. This can best be obtained
when the health officer is not
in competition with the members
Of this profession through pri-
vate practice.
That the health officer devote
full time to work in preventive
medicine. leaving the treatment
Of disease to "the field of curative
medicine"
That a board Of health be es-
tablished to supervise activities Of
the health department.
That the CITY pay physicians
Of the Alexandria Medical Society
for treating poor persons in given
areas of the city.
That the 40 cents per capita
expenditure for health work in
Alexandria be increased to &C.
cepted standards Of 81 to 50 per
CAPITA.
