The City ordinance relating to the duties of the City Physician, requires him to make his annual report to the City Council on the second Monday of January, but the city government being inaugurated on the first Monday of the same month, the City Physician may be elected before the second Monday, and in case of a change of that officer, the retiring official would make no report, while the new incumbent would not have proper facili- ties for repairing the omission. I would therefore sug- gest the propriety of making some change in the ordi- nance in this respect.
Although there are frequent calls for the use of sur- gical appliances, none have been furnished or are now owned by the city, and the City Physician is either obliged to furnish them himself, or depend upon the sup- plies of the District Medical Society, and I renew the re- commendation that has several times been made by in- cumbents of this office, that an appropriation of a small sum be made for the purchase of such surgical apparatus as is most urgently required.
Most of the articles needed would last many years, if properly cared for, and the expense will be small in com- parison with the benefits to be derived.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
J. MARCUS RICE, City Physician.
