BY experience and investigation II
being proven that II was to the ad-
vantage of the organization to secure
more public quarters. an excellent
ground floor location In the heart Of
the business district was secured on
most reasonable terms. The wisdom
Of this move has since been proven by
the increased interest taken In the
organization by the members and citi-
zens generally. The move was made
the first OF March and today we have
the most attractive quarters OF any
commercial organization In the state
In the latter part Of March the Ma
son County Health League requested
that this Office direct campaign for
$4,000 necessary to secure the ex-
penditure Of $4,000 by the United
States Public Health Service In max
ing a sanitary survey Of Maysville and
Mason County. We successfully con-
Quoted this campaign and as a re-
suit Mason County is the only one in
the state and one of the thirteen in
the L. s. to have this survey. Those
Of you who were present when the
Sanitary Corps made their. first report
to the City Council are familiar with
the scope of this work and its great
value to the city and county.
In addition. securing this survey
has given Maysville and Mason Coun,
ty national publicity.

to bear on those responsible for IL

touch with the proposition and finall,
a personal visit by the Secretary u
the Jackson Highway headquarters il
Louisville, 1t was definitely decided t,
located it through Maysville and tn,
