Better Accounting Asked City Commission Still Questions TB Fund Use
City Manager Charles W. Thompson told the City Commission about the county TB Fund, noting 316000 received and 110000 spent last year. About 240000 went to Hughes Memorial Hospital, and the rest funded tuberculosis work under county control, prompting questions from Commissioner Virgil T Clark and Martin B. Miller. The 1956 65 cent tax per 1000 valuation was questioned as possibly high while TB incidence declined. Thompson and Clark will seek further county accounting on expenditures and allocations.
