There was some discussion on the
activities of the venereal clinic,

great deal of headway. 1t was decid-

can be a success is to give 1t more
publicity and use the follow up sys-

deemed essential that another nurse
be added to the staff. especially In
consideration of the fact that the
isolation hospital will probably be
kept open all year around.
Fifteen final plumbing certificates
and two bonds were passed on, ten
ice cream and two milk licenses
granted.
To insure better laundry facilities
at the isolation hospital it was con-

washing machine be purchased. The
matter will be given consideration
and a machine looked for before the
next meeting. 1t was also decided
that the supply committee be au-
thorized to have a part of the porch
Of the isolation hospital screened in.
