HEALTH OFFICE
RESIGNATIONS
ARE ANNOUNCED
Commissioner Ringer Alleges
Small Budget and Not
"Temper" Cause of ,
Employes Leaving.
Friction between Dr. J. F. Ed
wards, . health commissioner, and
members of his o.ffice staff has no
direct connection with the resigna
tions qI several employes of the
health office, according to Police
Commissioner Ringer. . . -.
Mr. Ringer stated that one of thi
health office staff came to him to
complain against offensive languagi
used in the presence of men and
women in the health office.
"I spoke to the health commis
sioner about it," Mr. Ringer stated.
"and I assumed that the incident
was d6sed.- The doctor was undet
quite, a strain duriiig the recent in
fluenza outbreak The resignations,
have nothing to do with this mat
ter.". Several .health office workers
stated that the health commissioner
is given to- outbreaks of temper
when he, becomes "exercised" ov?r
his work.
James McLeod and George Cathro,
health inspectors, and Dr. W.
J. McCrann, jr., assistant healtli
physician, and Thomas Douglas
hay resigned. Miss Sigrid Sand
we'.l of the health office will leave
Saturday.
Mr.' Ringer insisted that the resig
nations were necessary because this
year's budget is not equal to de
mands. "I occasionally express myself in
vigorous terms, but I do not remem
ber of using offensive language in
the health office," Dr. Edwards
stated. "It may be that some of
the. members of the department are
disgruntled."

A lone, unmasked bandit held 'up
