Status of Alexandria Health Board Under New Constitution
Spintor of the Corporation Counsel reports on efforts to determine the status of Alexandria’s health board. The old board, chaired by the wealth officer, with two members from each ward, was summoned to a meeting amid rain and possible quorum issues. A state constitutional provision allegedly requires a three physician board appointed by the judge, a move contested by officials. The last council elected board members include Lucien Smith, S. A. Mankin, Johnny Entwisle, James F. Peyton, J. M. Birrell, M. T. Dwyer, P. M. Fradsha, and R. L. Carne Jr. If the new board’s powers are unsettled, former members plan to push for sanitary actions in Alexandria.
