CO3I3IUNICATION KROM THE 3IAY0R. Aun Arbor, Mich., June 4, 1894. To the Honorable the Common Couneil. A coinmunication írom the Health Officelis here submitted to you for consideratiou; 1 believe that the salurie-i of the active mcnibers of the Board of Health are not what they 6hould be, if we demand the valuahle service whlch that Board shonld perform. Thie should be thu most important Board in our city Government, and tliis work should be carefully performed. Iwould, therefore, request that the matter of salaries of the Board of Health be investigated and that the Board be required to make monthty reports ;o the Uommon (Jouncil the same a3 other lionnls, and that these reports become a oeruianent record by being published in your aroceedings. O. G. DARLING, Mayor. Aun Arbor, June 4th 'M. rohisHo or the Mayor, C G.Darling: Dpar Sir- I helieve that the eonpensation f the Board oï Health is not what it sliould t: Tin 1 be performance of labor necessarily imposed by a city of the magnitude of Aun Arbor. The time will noon arrive when lateral sewers will be extended to many parte of Ihe city. And niany privy vaults will require to be inspected and ordereu to be emptiea and the vaults ülled. This alone will require uiuch time. Also an increase of labor would uecu&sitate moothly reporta, l'rom various quarters which is now almost unknown for the very reason that the corupeneatlon is too smal!. In my report lor the year last past X mentioned what would be a fair salary fora healih offloer. The duties imposed on the inspector of the Board of Health should be at least one hundred and nfty dollars. While the president of the Hoard sliould have at least ooe hundred dollars, his position ia somethinï like the oae your Honor occuples, iherefore, his salaiy should be less). With a fair salary, monthly reports would be exac:ed from every physician and undertaker in the city. Very courteously, DU. ;OITN KAPI'. Referrect to special coinmittee on salades Board of Health, which was appointed May 21, 1894.
