Obsolete Methods Replaced by New City Health Board Plan
The board of health adopts a new organisation dividing duties among five members plus councilmen Griley and Shimer. Each member will oversee specific health domains from plumbing to street sanitation, water supply, and jail conditions, with monthly reports and a public health bulletin.
