'Appraise Health of Large Cities Throughout State A new inventory of municipal health service in the larger cities of Illinois which will amount to a self appraisal by local health officers, is now under- way in Illinois, according to an an- nouncement made by Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director. All cities of 30,000 or more, except Chi- cago, are included in the project. Ac- count will be made as closely as pos- sible of every dollar spent and of every service performed whether offi- cial or voluntary and these factors will be weighed against the apparent results obtained. Each city will be ap- praised on a percentage basis and com- pared with what is regarded as mini- mum standard practice and with each other as well. "Last year state officials made an examination of municipal health serv- ice in the fifteen leading cities," said Dr. Rawlings, "and reported an aver- age of 50 per cent efficiency although four of the cities enjoyed first class health protection. This year each local health officer is taking his own measure and that of his city, using the same form and system as that em- ployed last year. "The findings will be compiled by the State Department of Public Health and combined into a single report. This report, which will be available to all interested citizens, will bring out the points of excellence and the shortcomings of each city and offer recommendations for improvements where such are indicated."
