Dear Sir: «Your editorial under
date of October 7th upon “Why Ell-
00 the Law on the Little Fellow
‘ will?" is misleading and very unjust
an requires an answer.
3 Your reference to the health officer
when you state that "Health officers
are efficient in a measurewprincipaliy
where they are not met with the oppo«
. allies of influence or wealth " is one
that I cannot tamely all under. for in
this city at least. it is absolutely on
true as"! can readily prove to year
satisfaction if you care to investigate
the health officer's books record of
complaints. nuis ces abated, etc.
since November , 1902. when the
present health odicer was appointed.
The editorial in" general shows very
superficial knowledge as to the true
state of affairs for nearly seven years,
and i would most positively and em-
phatically state that influence nor
calth has not in any manner in-
uenced the acts of the health ofiicer
in the line of his duties. as many can
testify to their absolute knowledge.
in the case you alontlon. the Radel
Oyster Company. the writer of the
editorial shows very little knowledge

he lnduire of the health board or the
health officer whether any steps had
been taken in the matter? No. i
think it would have been more fair if
he bad, for he then would have been
informed that Ml Carleton Hoadley.

The fact that stops had been taken
in the Washington street matter is
certainly mostygratifyiug, and that an
investigation is to be made gives
promise of relief; but this fact does
not alter the fact that a large corpora-
tion has maintained the condition now

seasons. as we believe to the detri»

Dr. Shercr has Just learned of this
condition through a petition. and that
only on complaint has h'c deemed it
his duty to officially consider the con-

And. doctor. you cannot possibly
mean what you say in your parting
shot about "knocking" and "elevating."
Do you want such places as referred

Don't you really think they ought to

are not doing satisfactory service
should be knocked too? Guess we‘ll
keep on “knocking“ rather than try
to "elevate" any more drawbacks to
public advantage. .
