Page 2 of <br />REPORT OF C01MITTEE ON BOARDS AND COT•MISSIONS OTHER THAN PUBLIC <br />UTILITIES. <br />A Board of Health is provided in the present city <br />Charter, but since the city contracts with the county health <br />department, there is no need for such a board and it has been <br />non-existent for a number of years. <br />The present Charter also provides a Board of Police <br />and Fire Commissioners, but Mr. Williams tells us that such <br />boards are obsolete, that they went out with the long -ago <br />commission form of city government and are now generally frowned <br />upon. Our study of other city charters shows this to be true, <br />so we have made no provision for such a commission. <br />The Board of Education is set up in a separate Article, <br />Article XII, and accordingly was not under consideration by this <br />committee. <br />---Thelma Goodspeed <br />Chairman <br />Committee on Boards and Commissions <br />Other than Public Utilities, <br />Board of Freeholders. <br />
