has also been suspended as a most desirable man. It is probably not available. He is connected with the government health service in Washington, and commands a better salary than the city is disposed to pay Dr. Levy. Dr. Frank M. Leade, who would have strong support from the ranks of those with whom he served for years in the City Council in the event that his name should be sent to the board, has definitely declared he is not even a receptive candidate. "No good physician," said Dr. Leade, "could afford to surrender his private practice in a city the size of Richmond to accept the increase salary Dr. Levy has been receiving." He spoke in high terms of the qualifications of the retiring health chief, who has done "really wonderful things that have won the recognition of the world of medical science," he said.

It is possible that the city council may make an eleventh-hour effort to retain Dr. Levy by continuing objections stated by him as causes for his reluctant retirement, but it is no probable. The Administrative Board will have to cast about for a new health chief. In the department, the man in line of promotion is Dr. Henry Stern, medical examiner, who recently succeeded Dr. K. A. Summers, now one of the physicians of the Richmond public schools.
