JOINT RESOLUTION

Asking Congress to provide for a national bureau of health.

WHEREAS, The health of the nation is of paramount importance, and "Our national health is physically our greatest national asset" (President Roosevelt), and

WHEREAS, In the growth of nations it inevitably happens that the people are massed in large centers, thereby, if uncontrolled, creating unsanitary conditions destructive of life and health, and

WHEREAS, Such conditions can be removed and prevented only by the intelligent care and oversight of public health officials endowed with broad powers and necessary means for action, and

WHEREAS, In the prevention of disease by the enforcement of health measures by local officials in both urban and rural districts adequate results can be obtained only when such measures are soundly based upon well substantiated facts and observations in relation to sanitation and hygiene, and

WHEREAS, The United States government, in ways impossible for the state and municipality, may gather information and conduct research work to determine the causes of disease and the best measures for their prevention, and by co-operation with state and local authorities may promote the health of all the people, and

WHEREAS, The president, in his Provincetown speech, expressed the hope "That there will be legislation increasing the power of the national government to deal with certain matters concerning the health of our people everywhere"; therefore

Be it resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio:

That the congress of the United States be, and it is hereby memorialized and urged to create and establish a national bureau of health, and endow it with power and funds commensurate with the highly important duties with which it will necessarily be entrusted; and

Be it further resolved, That the senators and members of the house of representatives from Ohio, in the congress of the United States, be, and they are hereby requested to urge congress to adopt such legislation as may be necessary to secure the establishment of said proposed bureau of health.

Resolved, That the secretary of the state of Ohio, transmit immediately upon the passage of this resolution, a copy thereof to the senate, and the house of representatives of the United States, and to each of the representatives of Ohio therein.

JOINT RESOLUTION

Requesting the governor of the state of Connecticut to turn over to the Western Reserve Historical Society for safe keeping, certain papers and documents.

WHEREAS, The Western Reserve Historical Society, a duly incorporated organization of the state of Ohio, well equipped with a large, commodious fire-proof building, vaults and other means for safe-guarding relics, papers and documents pertaining to the Western Reserve Historical Society; and,

WHEREAS, The said society has from time to time accumulated from the descendants of the agents of the original Connecticut Land Company and from various other sources a great mass of documents and papers pertaining to the said land company and its occupancy of the western reserve; and,

WHEREAS, There is yet in the possession of the state of Connecticut a large number of papers and documents pertaining to this land company which we feel should be on the reserve, as they are of more vital interest to those living on the reserve than they can be to the state of Connecticut; therefore,

That we would respectfully ask that the governor of the state of Connecticut turn over to the Western Reserve Historical Society for safe keeping, such papers and documents as belonged to the Connecticut Land Company, and which do not belong to the category of papers that are considered state papers and which should rightly be preserved by the state. The papers desired consist of special land commissions, minutes of the Connecticut Land Company, deeds, mortgages and leases and also documents pertaining to the commissioner of schools, which cover the lands located
