The Richlands sub-office of Tazewell County Health Department will close July 1 after the board of supervisors failed to appropriate funds for its continuity. The article also notes approval to sale bonds totaling 100000 for school financing, a 1954 bond series at 3 percent, and acceptance of Valley Roofing Company Roanoke's 1800 bid to repair the courthouse roof.
