The Department of Public Health urged hiring a health inspector for Bridgetown, but the Board refused, arguing the district did not warrant extra expense and revenue could not bear the cost. The secretary was instructed to reply that the district lacks necessity and funds for an inspector.
The Board argued a full time inspector is unnecessary for a small district and would raise rates by about 28 percent. Health Minister E Nulsen urged a possible part time solution and discussed coordinating with other boards. New officers M Scott H Hester and H O Moore were introduced as part of leadership changes.
