Board Seeks Temporary Mental Health Chief
Burlington advisory board on mental health aims to recruit Dr. Thomas Boag of the University of Vermont as a temporary mental health commissioner to qualify the department for federal funds. Emergence board member Hans Huessy says a definite answer is unlikely before May 1 and that university approval is needed before Boag can serve temporarily. Huessy noted Boag did not take the offer seriously due to salary doubts as the board recently raised the maximum pay to 25 000 dollars for the post created by the 1963 legislature.
