Physicians demand more funds to raise Alabama health department

Area doctors Dr. John Chenault, Dr. Sidney Chenault and Dr. Stanley Hand criticized Gov. Wallace’s proposed $5,628,985 for the State Health Department as too low and urged removal of the 1920 salary ceiling to attract qualified staff. They contrasted Alabama’s pay with Mississippi and Georgia and backed Dr. Ira Myers’s request for $7.2 million. The Morgan County Services Planning Council joined in backing higher appropriations and local subsidies as needed. The governor’s proposed total for the department is about $600,000 above last year.
