Health Board Cleanses Its History In Carbondale
In Carbondale the health board removed names of workers who helped craft the old board’s rules. The published rules bore the signatures of ex President D L Bailey and ex Secretary Mayor Jol J ONeill, while the actual signatures listed J S Niles Secretary Evans and Mayor Kilpatrick. Old board members who contributed include J F Reynolds S Jones H C Wheeler D L Malley Alderman Bunnell John Copeland J A Kelly and J J Colling, with Mayor Nell endorsing them. The move provokes indignation among former members who fear erasing their work and legacy.
