 Miss McMullen earlier an- nounced that she was resign ing her position effective August 1. She informed the council that the health nurse job here was big enough for two nurses.
 Almost every person who visits my office has complaints that are entirely outside those duties required by my office, :" Miss McMullen said.
 She said she also receives numerous complaints about indiscriminate garbage dump ing and that poor sanitary practices have been observed in many restaurants and eat ing establishments in Kodiak. In urging the city to employ a sanitarian she was emphatic in pointing out that one be hired as soon as possible.
