' A training of 10 year in the United 8tate army and the national guard ha convinced Dr. M. B. Marcellus, Port land's new health officer-to-be, that army methods of organisation, in the medical department at least, aret the most efficient in the world. He will organ lie the Portland health department on the army model 'Of a definite placing of responsibility for every act performed by subordinates after he takes over the department July 1. Dr. Marcellus holds the rank of major in the medical corps of the Oregon National Guard. He has been a member of the medical corps for eight years. All his army medical training, however, has not been with mllltla forces. He was two years In the hospital corps of th Second Oregon during the Spanish war and Philippine outbreak. He got a very definite idea while under fir there of what It means to be held abso lutely responsible for carrying out orders. "Will Keep Full Records. One of the first things he will do will be to install a system of keeping definite records of every act performed by his department, he-said today. These records will show who Is responsible, and if a duty has not been performed, why it has not been performed. If a complaint is made, .the -whole matter can be traced through these record at one and it can be ascertained at a glance what-has been done and what has not been done, and who did it. If the complaint is well founded, the rec ords will show who is responsible, and If It Is not well founded the records will also show It. This does not mean that Dr. Mar cellus is planning to load his office down with a lot of red tape. That is just contrary to his purpose. By having records that place responsibility he ex pect to eliminate th red tap altoi gether and Increase the efficiency of the department. "Moat of the great achievement in sanitation and eliminating disease by destroying the cause of it in the last 10 years haa been done by army doc tore," said Dr. Marcellus. Efficiency Is Solution. "Witness the elimination of vellow fever in the Panama canal sons, th cleaning up of Havana, and the way in which bubonic plague was stamped out In San Francisco by Dr. Rupert Blue after it had obtained a foothold there, The reason Is slmpte. Efficient organ ization na a very great deal to do with 'it. A man Is told to do a thing and he is held responsible for doing it. m REFUSES TO OBEY ORDERS OFf REYNOLDS When Case Against Western Fuel Co.
