Scott County Voters Decide on Health Unit Establishment
Scott county voters will decide at a special election on Tuesday August 23 whether to establish a county health unit under a law in effect for about two years. The health unit would include a medical health officer a public health nurse a sanitary engineer and a clerk with an office in the county seat. The unit would handle polio cases immunizations preschool clinics school health education crippled children tuberculosis venereal diseases maternity classes food safety and related public health services. The measure has broad local support from groups including the Federation of Women's Clubs Extension Service Farm Bureau chambers of commerce and various civic and religious organizations. Voters are urged to cast yes votes and scratch no.
