Boards oppose Doctor Cook health inspector plan

They claim the joint inspector would raise rates in Nannup Greenbushes and other towns, and note current inspections are done by boards or a government inspector. Local officials including Mr. Siggins Mr Hoar and Mr Mann respond about deputations and possible rate increases to fund the inspector.
