Secretaries' pay questioned in Marion County health office
An inquiry into the county board of health duties criticizes the secretary post as a sinecure paying 1248 a year, arguing the workload is far smaller than the salary and that the office, recently assigned to Dr. Carl McGaughey, burdens Marion County with excessive costs while most physicians live in Indianapolis. The monthly vital statistics report, largely generated from postal cards, mostly requires compiling births, deaths, marriages, and epidemics, with limited personal effort beyond disease suppression duties.
