of the Borough Council last night,

Only two Of the members OF the last
Board of Health are serving on the
new board. They are: DR.. Cyrus C..
Knecht and William A. Rodgers.
Many of the members of the former
board refused to serve for another

ment of a new board necessary.

as to nav all the doctors of the bor-
ough on the board. In fermer years,
the only doctor on the board was
Borouhg Physician Cyrus Knecht,
who always served rs president of
the organization, but this year It is
understood, h although a member
of the board, DR.. Knecht refuses to
act as president. 1t is thought that
many OF the former board resigned,
because of the strain and worry occa-
stoned during the Influenza epidemic,
which kept the local Board of Health
busy night and day for a month or
more.
