Numerous Things About Which tn
C0unty Health Board Did Nothing

Numerous Things About winch the
County Health Board Did
Astonishing as it may seem, it is an unde-
niable fact that the County Board of Health
actually did some business at its meeting
Yesterday. It received bids for the com
pletion of the Contagious Disease Hospital
at Snake Fill. The Board of Health began
building this institution five years ago, and
if a hoodwinked county and Legislature
permit the Board of Health to live that long
it is probable that the building may be tin
ished in five years more. The bids to COM
plete the building were as follows
Charles W. Fisher, $3.50; Frank w.
Booker, $1,000; Henry q. Niblett, 1912;
| son, $7,0S5; G. A. Judge, S7,997; Dennis
Mullins, $1,000.
The Board referred the bids to the commit
tee of the whole to report at the next meet
