Dr. D. P. Love, county and city
health officer, has lately received
several anonymous oommunications
from parties desiring to inform him
on alleged matters that they thought
needed investigating. As health
officer, Dr. Love will promptly in
vestigate all cases of oonttgious or in
fectious dieeases, and all meats or
other food articles that are offered for
sale, aud which are alleged to be dan
gerous to health, that may be reported
to him. But he will not heed a bear
say, or anonynions statement.
Parties knowing of any violation of
the state law, or the city ordinances
pertaining t) the public health should
promptly report the facts to Dr. Love,
either personally or by letter. Pend
ing an investigation, their naine and
the information will be held in strict
confidence. But he must know that it
is a reliable person giving the infor
mation, and the facts in the case mu.t
be stated with such definiteness that
he can locate the matter complained
of.
The following is a sample of the
anonymous communication the Doctor
consigns to the waste basket :
Grants I 'ft so, 11, 18, 05.
Health officer, Grants Pass.
Dear Sir You had enquire Into the
condition of a band of sheep that are
being killed for market south of the
river. Examine fresh hides.
Citizen.
There are two rivers in Josephine
county and several bands of sheep
south of each stream and to locate the
baud agaiust which complaint is made
might require a month's time. If the
person making this complaint had
been speciHo and had signed his
name, the alleged violation of the law
would have beeu promptly Investiga
ted.
Dr. Love proposes to strictly en
force both the state law aud the city
ordinances and prevent a recurrence
of the smallpox attack of two years
ago, or of the diphtheria of last
Winter that caused sl.-xuess and ex
peuse in many homes in Grants Pass,
aud put a handicap on business that
eutailed a serious loss to the mer
chants. To keep these epidemics out
of Grants Pass will rtquire vigilance
on the part of the public, as well as
of the health officer, and if the citi
zens of Grants Pass will freely co
operate with Dr. Love all contagious
aud infections diseases can easily lie
kept out of the city and the train of
trouble to families and loss (f busi
ness to the merchauts that follow in
their wake.
