A resolution adopted by the as
ISOLATION at this meeting follows:
Whereas 1t is rumored that GER
tain interests are making a fight
on the Public Health work being
carried on in the Valley. and
Whereas We believe this fight was
initiated and is being carried on
by sinister and selfish interests who
care nothing for the suffering, dy-
ing poor people; therefore
Be it resolved by the El Iardin
Parent Teachers Association that
we heartily endorse the program be-
ing carried out under the direction
OF DR.. Spivey and that ii is the
sense Of this body that county funds
invested in this work yield larger
returns to the taxpayer and relieve
more suffering and misery among
the poor and unfortunate than any
other county expenditure.
Be it further resolved that a CODY
OF this resolution be mailed to DR..
W. Z. Spivey, Judge o. c. Dancy
and The Brownsville Herald.
