WHAT OF OI K HEALTH?
X solemn note of warning has been
sounded to the City Council and the
people of Thomasville, by the Health
Department, or rather, the City
Physician, to whose care is now en
trusted the health of the city. We
h av
length with the city physician and
he is of the opinion that the recom
mendations made are vital to the
health of the town, vital to all of
ita people and especial}* so during
the summer months. The communi
cation was received as read and or
dered spread upon the minutes of
that body. There it received its last
sad requiem and what is termed a
decent interment.
So be it, if it must be, but the
City Council is making the same
•grave mistake that other councils
have made, when they refused eith

no matter what inconvenience it
may work upon the individual,
is done in the Interest and for the
welfare of the people, by those
whom we select to pass laws, en
force regulations and conduct a mu
nicipality, free and devoid of death
traps and unsanitary menaces. He

men who have studied health con
ditions and know what is what and
why. The city physician is nothing
more or less than a. private citizen,
as far as the council is concerned,
unless they recognize his knowledge
and the character of his advice, and
take steps to have it carried out.
He is an official of the city, selected
because of his knowledge of medi
cine and sanitary requirements. If
he is so selected, he should be recog
nized at least with the courtesy of
some action.
Take his statement as it ap
peared:
"We have visited many sections of
the city where inadequate drainage
and filth accumulation are such as
to endanger the health of the resi
dents approximate thereto, and have
recommended that these places be
drained and made sanitary. A re
cent investigation discloses the fact
that these recommendations have so
far not been executed.
We respectfully call your atten
tion to this matter a second time,
and further recommend that the

On motion the chairman was au
thorized to borrow dollars to
meet casual defleiences.
On motion all approved bills were
ordered paid.
Following Read and Adopted.
To the Honorable, Board of Com
missioners of Roads and Revenues
of Thomas county.
The petition of the Southwest 1
Georgia Telephone Company respect
fully shows unto your honorable
body.
1st. That said Telephone Com
pany has constructed and now has
in operation, a telephone line from
the town of Pavo South along the
Thotnasville-Pavo road to the houses
of a good many citizens of Thomas
county, residing between Thomas
ville and Pavo.
2nd. That at the last meeting of
your board, a resolution was passed
calling upon the said telephone com
pany, requiring ‘hem to get permis
sion to continue the use of the said
public highway, toe said Thomasvlle
and Pavo public road, for the pur
pose of continuing the said public
highway for the purpose cf sai l tel
ephone i'.he.
3rd. Y-ur Petitioners do not ask
that a franchise be granted them for
the uses and purposes aforesaid so
as to bind your Honorable body to
allow the use or said public high
way for any definite length of time,
but they only ask that the line now-
constructed be allowed to remain in
use and operation until your Hon
orable body shall order them re
moved. Your petitioners show that
the said line in no way interfered
with, or obstructs the use of said
highway, nor does it do any damage
to said highway, nor does it obstruct
travel on said highway.
We fully realize that some of the
foregoing recommendations, if put
in force, may be more or less objec-
tionable and inconvenient to some
people. This we would sincerely
regret. It is almost, if -not quite
impossible, to Institute any impor
tant changes of procedure or prin
ciples in the management of any
municipal department without doing
so: but the importance of the meas
ures suggested to the great majority
of our people in the effort of this
department to reduce the dangers
that have always beset us (here and
elsewhere), we hope and believe
would at once appeal to those who
may find such objections, as abso
lutely necessary in the effort to safe-
guard the health and lives of our
their
Council could go many and de
vious paths in the search of health
ful legislation and find few things
that would prove more beneficial
than better health laws for Thom
asville.

Is there any reason known to
a reasonable man why this recom
mendation should not be strictly
and thoroughly carried out? The

damnable nuisance' that any com
munity can harbor. If there is a
'•'ay of destroying its effect, why do
councils or mayors or city autho-i-
ties hesitate to adopt them Just

The Doctor recommends the

should be effectively muzzled and
when allowed on the streets in the
season when dogs are known to go
mad, should be so fixed with a steel
or wire muzzle as to absolutely pre
vent its biting anything, be it man

the statute books of the city of
