City Council Votes To Rejoin County Health District
Athens City Council unanimously approved returning to a joint city county health district in 1941. The plan keeps the city paying 36.5 percent of operating costs while the county covers 63.5 percent, with the state adding another public health nurse. The NYA aviation mechanics school seeks 5,500 square feet in the old waterworks building, risking space for city storage unless a new storage structure is built.
