The Health Officer presented the monthly reports.
This being the January meeting of the odd year, the ex-
officio members appointed Dr. J. C. Wessell, Dr. W. Houston Moore,
and Dr. H. L. Keith the professional members of the Board. The
Board then reappointed the entire personnel of the department
with the exception of the plumbing inspector, which position was
lett open pending action of the State Legislature.
Mr. Kermon appeared before the Board and discussed his status
as plumbing inspector for a number ot years. He also discussed fees,
salary, and automobile expense.
A number ot plumbers appeared before the Board and all of
them who expressed themselves requested that Mr. Kermon be retained
as plumbing inspector.
The Board instructed the Health Officer to confer with
Representative Hobbs and see if he would consider changing his
proposed Bill so as not to specify that the plumbing inspector should
be a plumber, leave the determination of the salary to the Board,
and permit the Board to use the inspector for purposes other than
inspecting plumbing it same did not take up all of his time, or,
would he consider instead of his Bill just repealing the Act ot the
1935 Legislature regarding fees and salary.
There being no further business, the Board adjourned.
