ON "INDEPENDENCE"
ONE POINT OF VIEW.
The disadvantages under which the public health officers have to work were enumerated to tho Epidemic Commission yesterday by Dr. Makgill. After he had mentioned quite a number ot them, ho said:— .. , "Add to these drawbacks a paucity of leave, and a rate of pay lower than that in any other Public Health Service, and it - will bo understood why only thoso who have private tics and a considerable surplus of professional enthusiasm remain in a Department eo penurious in its treatment. There is, perhaps, one advantage derived from this state of things, and that is that the officers are so little enamoured of their position that they cari afford to be independent in their attitude to the pul>lic, a condition of mind tending to honest administration." Then Dr. Makgill rave tho Commission his views about what the staff of the Department should be and how it should be organised, and something about how it should be naid.
