Meigs County Voters Urged To Support TB Tax Levy
Meigs County residents are urged to pass a .65 mill tuberculosis tax levy for five years to fund hospital care and a follow up chest x ray program. Mrs. Wallace Bradford says the county lacks funds for TB hospitalization and the levy would share costs among the county state and individuals. The measure aims to reduce community infection and support former patient care and school testing programs.
