It is with the approval of the mayor and city coun cil that this survey is being made, which will require weeks of work by the hygenic laboratory, our state sani tary engineer, Green; Dr. William Levin, who is director of the hygienic laboratory of the state board of health; the county nurse, Miss Nettie Alley, and also members of the Study club, who may assist Dr. Levin in making the rounds of the homes to get the data required for the survey. In the interest of safeguarding the health of all who dwell in our city, all should cooperate to give whatever assistance required, whether answering questions during the survey or making necessary improvements or better ments after the state board of health’s suggestions for improving the sanitary conditions are received.
