Proposed second venereal clinic at county jail plan
Dr J Burkett county health officer proposed a second venereal disease clinic, to be housed in the county jail to treat patients from both city and county. The board authorized Calhoun to meet with city officials for joint action and cost sharing, given the high treatment numbers and the need for timely access. The plan includes equipment for a jail clinic and notes that most prisoners will be in the county jail, creating shared responsibility for operation. May meetings and shop equipment projects were also referenced for unrelated road department work.
