 STATE HEALTH LAWS
 The only proposed bill over which there was any controversy was that affecting the state health board. Since 1876 the Alabama Medical society has administered the health laws, of the state with the county health sys- tems being under the control Of the county medical societies. In recent years there has arisen division among
 1tot ovn g. tion, Some want to continue the pres ent system, while others demand the
 creation of a state health board of live members, of which the governor and the attorney general shall be ex-onlclo members and the other three to be ap- pointed by the governor.
 pr. D. F. Talley, City and County Health officer J. D. Bowling and pr B. l.. Wyman made arguments in sup port of the continuance of the present system. while Dr. T. D. Parke and Mrs H. H. Shell advocated a change tc
 a state board of five. Both factions are asking for a greater appropriation TOT the use of the health department and both insist upon the adoption of more effective laws for the protection and preservation of health and life, the point of cleverage being that Of the form and composition of the admins trative body.
 It was pointed out by Dr. Talley that for a great many years the state health board received only $300o a year from the state. and in recent years the annual appropriation had been in creased to s25, 900. This. he said, is en- tirely inadequate for an effective health system
 Dr. Bowling stated that the city and county health board had been receiving $20 900 year from the city of Birming- ham and $30,000 from the county, but that under the laws now in effect there is no way of compelling obedience to proper and necessary sanitation laws outside the incorporated municipalities.
