DR.. S. F. Farnsworth, Directo
)f the Maricopa County Heat
Department, announced today tina
he department will begin its NOV,
o the new building at 1925 Eas
Roosevelt on Tuesday, October 25
'.Our new building is not com
oletely finished. DR.. Farnswortl
observed, "but there is adequate
space ready for the staff now. oc-
|cupying the 7th Avenue building
We are moving earlier than anti
Icipated because our lease on the
building, at COS North 9TH Avenue
lhaS expired. The rest of the de-
lpartment, now at 116 South 18th
Avenue, will, not move until the
latter part of November, by which
time the entire. building will havt
been completed.
This will be the first time in its
history for the entire health de
|partment to be housed in one build
ng. Previously, lack of space ir
he main building has made i
necessary to maintain two separ
ate offices. Having the whole de
partment together will definitely
increase efficiency and result in {
better, more comprehensive pub
Ilic health program for Maricope
County, DR.. Farnsworth predict
ed. mot only will the staff be bet
ter able to coordinate programs
and services, but also for the frs
time, we will have adequate faci
lities for the kinds of programs w
want to conduct. t."
