To the City Planning Committee:
Your sub-committee on health and
sanitation, having been appointed to
meet and consider the plans best
suited to preserve and conserve the
health of Griffin and Spalding coun
ty, and to make a import of its do
ings and findings, beg leave to sub
mit the following report:
Need Health Department.
We find that the city and coun
ty are in need of a well organized
and adequate health department, un
der capable management anc^ operat
ed under proper discipline.
We* also find, upon investigation,
that the Ellis health law has al
ready been adopted and approved by
two grand juries and is the law now
in force in Spalding county, al
though no action has been taken
by the county hoard of health, cre
ated by the Ellis health law, to car
ry out its provisions, except that a
budget was made wot by them a few
years a id presented t« the coun
ty coilf) ters, b* no action hat
been taken by them.
After careful consideration of the
Ellis health law and its provisions,
your committee feels compelled to
say that it considers this law as an
ideal health law.
Authorities Will Co-operate.
Upon eonfeeehce with the city com
missioners of the city of Griffin, we
found them willing and glad to co
operate witllfrthe county authorities
in putting in operation an adequate
health department and were willing
to bear their part of the expense.
Therefore—
We recommend that your commit
tee, through the Cnamber of Com
merce, petition the county board
of health, now created through the
Ellis health lW, to make up a bud
get of $5,000 for the ' employment
of one health officer and clerk, for
the carrying out of the Ellis health
law.
We further recommend that the
Chamber of Commerce petition the
city commissioners to make am ap
propriation of $2,400 for the sklary
of a competent sanitary inspector,
who shall be under the jurisdiction
of the county health officer.
We feel that this budget is suf
ficiently large to begin the operation
of the Ellis health law.
Respectfully submitted,
WEBB CONN, Chairman,
Sub-committee on Health
and Sanitation. v
Report Tabled.
This report was received and a
motion passed that the report be
tabled until the next meeting of the

Griffith Stadium, Washington, Oct 4.—(By the Asso

With President Coolidge throwing out the ball and
