tions, made after the February

committee headed by Mrs.
Harold N. Marsh, included:
l. That the Commissioners
indorSe budget increases to
hire additional inspectors in
the Health and Fire Depart
ments.
2. That steps be taken to
look into the advisability of
establishing criteria for "ade-
quate and competent" patient
care.
3. That the nursing home
operators set up refresher and
in-service training courses for
themselves and their employees.
