    5600HE-GSM-gau (USMARC); GSG (OCLC/SOLINET) City of Savannah, Research Library & Municipal Archives, Savannah, Georgia Record Series #: 5600HE Name: City of Savannah, Georgia Records – Health Department Dates: 1803-1948 Extent/Size: 33 volumes (9.39 cubic feet) Organizational History: From 1790 until 1823, the Health Officer of Savannah was appointed by the Governor. Afterwards, he was selected by the City Council (Gamble, pp. 47, 146). The Health Officer’s duties included visiting vessels arriving in port, imposing quarantine, attending the sick on board, and investigating and preventing the spread of contagious diseases (Code of Savannah 1854, pp. 251-253). In 1877, the Health Officer became head of the newly organized Board of Sanitary Commissioners which was to supervise the administration of City health laws, to investigate and prevent the spread of disease, to examine and eliminate health nuisances, to supervise the sanitary regulations of municipal institutions, and to supervise matters relating to quarantine. The Health Officer, under direction of this board, became the general supervisor of the sanitary interests of the City, making inspections, inquiries, and reports (Code of Savannah 1888, pp. 185-87). By 1923, the Savannah Health Department consisted of the Board of Sanitary Commissioners, the Health Officer, the City Laboratory and Bacteriologist, the City Physician, the hospitals, the City Dispensary, the Inspector of Plumbing, and the City Food Inspector (Mayor's Annual Report 1923. pp. 393-459). The Savannah Health Center was formed in 1920, and by 1925 there was an agreement for the Savannah Health Center, the Health Department, and the County Commission to amalgamate their programs.

  • War Council” (December 1912)
    Volume 5. Wilhelmine Germany and the First World War, 1890-1918 The “War Council” (December 1912) Those who argue that Germany planned a war of aggression in 1914 have cited this meeting as evidence. In the following account of the “War Council” meeting, Chief of the General Staff Helmuth Johann Ludwig von Moltke (1848-1916) appears to favor war at the first suitable opportunity. It is another question, though, whether German policy in 1914 was guided by this calculation. Sunday: summoned to the palace to see His Majesty at 11 o’clock along with Tirpitz, Heeringen (Vice Admiral), and General von Moltke. H.M. with a telegraphic report on the political situation sent by the ambassador in London, Prince Lichnowski. As Grey’s spokesman, Haldane informed Lichnowski that if we attack France, England will come to France’s aid, for England cannot tolerate a disturbance in the European balance of power. H.M. welcomed this message as providing the desired clarification for all those who have been lulled into a false sense of security by the recently friendly English press. H.M. painted the following picture: Austria must deal firmly with the Slavs living outside its borders (the Serbs) if it does not want to lose control over the Slavs under the Austrian monarchy. If Russia were to support the Serbs, which she is apparently already doing (Sassonow’s remark that Russia will go straight into Galicia if the Austrians march into Serbia), war would be inevitable for us. But there is hope that Bulgaria, Romania, and Albania—and perhaps even Turkey—will take our side.

  • Some North American Birds in Panama
    422 J•w•, NorthAmerican Birds in Panama. I[AukJuly SOME NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS IN PANAMA. BY L. L. JEWEL, C. E. DUR•5'Gthe greater part of 1911 and up to September,1912, the author lived at Gatfin, Canal Zone, and nearly all Sundays and holidays (luring this period were spent in collectingand studying native birds. Naturally, many birds of the A. O. U. Check-List were observed, some resident in Panama and some transients or winter visitors. After July, 1911, records of the occurrence of suchhave beenkept as completelyas availabletime would allow. In many casesspecimens were taken as recorded.in the annotated list following. Gat fin is situated sevenmiles inland and directly south of Co16n, at the beginningof what are practically the first foot hills of the Isthmus. The coast-lineswings so far in just west of Co16n,how- ever, titat only three or four miles of low fiat land- some of it very marshy-- separatesGatfin from the bay. Indeed, salt water now comesup the old French canal, the East Diversion and the new American eanal, to the very door of Gatfin. The valley of the Rio Chagresis here about a mile and a half wide and is now, of course,filled acrossby the Gatfro locks,dam and spillway. This constructionwork has destroyedmuch cover,but on the other hand, the clearingsmade in and about the town of Gatfin and the partial filling of Gatfin lake have perhapsmade the locality more attractive to certain migrant birds from the north. To the south of Gatfin the ridgesdiverge rapidly with miles of the Black Swamp country stretchingbetween them and only a few thiekly grown knolls lessthan one hundred feet high scatteredhere and there.

  • THE WRITINGS of BRITISH CONSCRIPT SOLDIERS, 1916-1918 Ilana Ruth Bet-El Submitted for the Degree of Ph
    EXPERIENCE INTO IDENTITY: THE WRITINGS OF BRITISH CONSCRIPT SOLDIERS, 1916-1918 Ilana Ruth Bet-El Submitted for the degree of PhD University College London AB STRACT Between January 1916 and March 1919 2,504,183 men were conscripted into the British army -- representing as such over half the wartime enlistments. Yet to date, the conscripts and their contribution to the Great War have not been acknowledged or studied. This is mainly due to the image of the war in England, which is focused upon the heroic plight of the volunteer soldiers on the Western Front. Historiography, literary studies and popular culture all evoke this image, which is based largely upon the volumes of poems and memoirs written by young volunteer officers, of middle and upper class background, such as Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. But the British wartime army was not a society of poets and authors who knew how to distil experience into words; nor, as mentioned, were all the soldiers volunteers. This dissertation therefore attempts to explore the cultural identity of this unknown population through a collection of diaries, letters and unpublished accounts of some conscripts; and to do so with the aid of a novel methodological approach. In Part I the concept of this research is explained, as a qualitative examination of all the chosen writings, with emphasis upon eliciting the attitudes of the writers to the factual events they recount. Each text -- e.g. letter or diary -- was read literally, and also in light of the entire collection, thus allowing for the emergence of personal and collective narratives concurrently.

  • The Taft Commission and the Government's Record Practices
    The Taft Commission and the Government's Record Practices Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/21/3/277/2743874/aarc_21_3_m7017751w14655h0.pdf by guest on 02 October 2021 By BESS GLENN 1 National Archives HE work of the Taft Commission on Economy and Efficiency was evaluated in 1919 as "much the most comprehensive and T systematic investigation that has ever been made of the na- tional government, if not, indeed, of any government." 2 Not until the two Hoover Commissions of 1947-49 and 1953-55 was the Taft Commission equaled in the scope of its explorations into the business and business methods of the Government. The Taft Commission was one of a long series of administrative investigations that began as early as 1789. The investigations be- came increasingly comprehensive and searching in the 1880's and later, when the congressional Cockrell Committee and subsequent Dockery-Cockrell Commission, followed by President Roosevelt's Keep Commission, examined the administration of the executive branch. But Congress, disappointed in the results produced by these agencies, began as early as May 1909 to consider the establishment of still another investigation of the Federal administration.3 It was not until June 1910, and after long and heated debate, that the House and Senate finally agreed to an amendment to the Sundry Civil Appropriation Act for 1911 authorizing the President to "inquire into the methods of transacting the public business." 4 With the approval on June 25, 1910, of the act containing this au- thorization,5 the way was open for the Taft administration to in- vestigate the business and business methods of the Government.
