H.

BORE EARMARKS OF A FARCE The Board of Health Investigation n Do- cidcdly Jng-Handlod Affairr NOTHING OFFERED BY THE PROSECUTION ACCIKOI ! .Vlnnlirm nt tlio Dep.irtmrnt Ho * ilitlreil to 1'rmcnt Krlilotit-e In Their Own llclmlf Without Specific Clmrcr * Item ITefcrrcd. The whole of yesterday nftcrnoon was con sumed In the examination of witnesses in the Board of Health Investigation. The special committee from the council , com posed of Messrs. Klsusser , Jacobsen nnd McAndrows , met to Investigate the charges to the effect that the commissioner of heilth was not dovotlng as much time to his duties as ho should and that four of tlio employes of the bo.ird attended to the oftlcc an ! vvcra to bo found there most of the time. Nothing of a startling nature was devel oped. 'I he committee will lender Itsicport to the council Tucsdaj- evening , nnd inny recommend that the services of either Chief Inspector Sherrer or Dr. Tovvno bo dis pensed with A number of the councllmen were piesent at the investigation nnd asked many questions , nnd their expressions at lc.iv Ing w ere such as to Indicate that they felt as If nothing r.idicallj wrong existed bojond the fact that the.sj stem of working the em ployes might in a measure bo improved , and a more complete plan for reports of what the men do each day be adopted The tcstlmonj' was taken bja stenogra pher Chairman I lsasser propounded ques tions for the committee , and Dr Somois and Ills attorney also did questioning. IIi-iiUli Commissioner's DcTcnuc. Dr Somcrs , commissioner of health , was the first witness called. Ho said ho was commissioner of health , sceietaiy of the board , cit.v pbjsician and emergencj sur geon. Ho did not devote all his time to the ofllce , but had regular ofllco hours. When ho was appointed it was undcistood that ho was to devote a poitlon of his time to his private practice At 8 o'clock in the mom- ing he v isits the ofticc and icm.itns there ono hour , again from ! ' - ! to I o'clock , and again from ! ! to 4 o'clock His aim was to spend three hours per daj Intheonicc. Ho thought that with the thieo horns In the office and the time devoted to emeigcncy work ho was giving the city more time than any other city oftlct.il Ho did not think anj one "man In eight hours each daj could , by devoting his cntho time , attend to the duties of cltj phjsiclan and emergency suigeonund look after contagious diseases Inspector Sheiicr icmaliicd in the olllco duiing the forenoon , and in the afteinoon attended to outside work , while Milk Inspector specter Holmes looked after special duties on the outside in the foienoon , and had chaigo of tl.o ofllco duiing the afteinoon. Lr Tow no attended to the contagious dis eases and kept the records of births and deaths and looked after the coirespondenco of thodcpirtmeiit If theie wasaclcik in tlio department it would not neccsbltato keeping in the olllco ono of the inspectors whose dtitj was on the outside. Since lr Tow no had taken charge of con tagious diseases the number of cascshad been icduced fulH one-half It was never undei- stood that ho and Dr Tow no were to devote their time to the department for 3,000 per jear This was done , howover. for a few months , the salary being divided , until it was found that tbojweio doing three men's woik. and the Boaid of Health decided to discharge a ? 7n inspector and appointed Dr. Tovvno as medical inspector at 11 salarj1 of $100 per month. Their work was not the same as it was divided up and really onlj- ono man's time. But ono man remained in the olllco at a time and it ivas false that three of them remained there during the day. Ciimpiroil vrltli Former Ili-ilth Olllrcrs. Chief of Police Se.-ucy , who is a member of the boaid , was put on tlio bland Ho know- nothing of any mismanagement In the board , and was familiar with the vvoiklngs of tl'o board since Dr. Someis became commis sioner Ho thought the work and manage ment of the biaul were better than under foimcr administrations He did not think ono man could perform the duties of com missioner of health without an assistant , and know of no phjsician who would give up his piactico and devote his cntiro time to the ofllco for 2,000 per jcar. Previous to the time the additional inspectors were appointed the police department had been called upon to do a f-reat deal of the woik of sanitary patrolmen But this was not possi- bio this jear , as the police force was too small , and police protection could not bo given the citizens if olllceis were called off on sanitary dutjHo thought the dcpait- ment was doing good work , that Dr Somers was managing well , and had a good force of men to do the woik. Ho had alwnjs found the doctor rcadjto respond to calls for emergency police vvoikatunj- time , regardless - less of the hour. Mayor He-mis' Puxltlon and Opinion. Major Bcmis was called to the stand. Ho testlllcd : "I had a great many lotteis of lecominendation of Dr. Uwing Blown , and sent for him. In talking with him I told him theio had been considerable ti cubic In re gard to whether the emergcncj- cases be longed to the citj or countj , nnd that it must stop , and when any ono was suffciir.g the case should bo attended to. Ho Inti mated that ho Mould not glvo up his prac tice , and I told him thcio was no need talk ing of his appointment if such was the case. I also had a similar talk with Dr Someis. and ho said the city would have the benefit of two men , Dr Tovvno and himself , Dr. Tow no to do the inside woik They were to divide the salarj , and of course I suppose they would look after their private pi.ictice ' I distinctly understood with Dr Somcra that he and Dr Tow no weio to attend to the duties of commissioner of health and city phjsician , and believe ! the citj would get the benellt of two men ut the simo silarjI know- nothing of any neg lect of dutj on the pait of Dr. Somers , al though I have heard that such w.ib the case and whenever such icpoits ot any oftlct leach my ears , I desho thorn looked into II thoioaiefmir men in the olllco I think tlu scivices of one , and perhaps two , could be dispensed with , although I do not know fiom peibonal knowledge that theio is more than ono man In the olllco at the time ' havealwajs had tlio idci that the hc.iltl depaitment U better conducted now thai ever before.
