Council votes to delay independent health board until Paine law
After heated debate, the council adopted the health committee report recommending no change now and delaying an independent health board. Supporters push for a direct council vote, while proponents say the Paine law creates no board and future action should wait. The plan to create a separate board would take effect when the Paine law becomes operative, Aug 1, 1909, or Jan 1, 1910.
