County Court Approves Health Board Formation in Beckley
The Raleigh County Court approved a combined Beckley City and Raleigh County Health Board with five members, three from the county and two from the city. The new board will oversee rules, evaluate the health program, set financial plans, and advise the county court, with meetings to form soon after members are chosen. Drag racing at Raleigh County Memorial Airport was ordered stopped immediately under CAB terms, as auto racing violates the 1948 agreement and endangers aeronautical use.
