Life Position Proposed
 for Dr. Ed,uardJ. Godfrey

The citizens committee which aided in the public health sur vey made here in 1939 by Yale un- iversity listed among its major tions the establish ment of the position of health off, ficer on a full-time basis and that he be given reasonable tenure of office"
 The health officer bill will be part of a general charter revision measure which will be submitted to the cities and boroughS cOm- mittee of the General Assembly next week by Senator Edward P. Egan. Numerous other sections of the charter will be changed by the bill.
 The health survey committee recommended that the city set aside special sum each year to carry out its recOmmendati ations, and the city's budget for 1941 car- ries $5,00O appropriation for this purpose. From this appropriation will come Dr. Godfrey's wage in- crease if the charter bill is ap- proved by the legislature.
 The charter change will forbid the city health officer from en- gazing in private practice and require him to devote full time to his official duties.
