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.
