CITY HEALTH OFFICER.
I .-"- To
the Editor of 'The Mercury."
Sir,-I have read with some surprise
the heated debate which took place at
the City Council meeting on Monday
evening over a letter received from the
Women's Health Association, suggesting
that the time had arrived when II first
time health officer should be appointed
for Hobart. The resolution was moved
by myself, my chief reason being that
Perth, in West Australia, and Hobart.
are the only cities in the Common
wealth of Australia with a population
of 3000 inhabitants that has not a
full time health officer. To suggest
that we question the ability of the
City Health Officer is an insult to our
intelligence, and an attempt to throw
dust in the eyes of the taxpayers. T
challenge the Mayor and aldermen to
publish a list of positions held by the"
City Health Officer, and the remuneration
received from each, in addition
to all honorary positions held by that
gentleman. And in the case of His
Worship the Mayor, it may he ''fellow
feeling makes us wondrous kind," !...

-YOURS, etc.,
