Bayonne seems likely to nave a genuine
and official board Of Health to act in CO.
operation with the State and County
Boards. An ordinance creating a Board
of Health; to consist of the Mayor, the
President Of the City Council and five
persons to be appointed by the Mayor and
confirmed by the Council. is before the
Councilman. None of the five appointive
members are TO serve longer tina four
years, and the terms OF not more than
three can expire in any one year. This
latter clause is to make the Board a con-
tinuous body.
