to directing the sanitary inspectors in their work was discussed.
It WaS moved by Dr. Wessell, seconded by Mayor Lane, that the Health
Officer proceed in an effort to secure such a technician for the water
plant.
At the request of the Health Officer, it was moved by Dr. Wessell,
seconded by Mayor Lane, that the buildings at 122 Market Street,
Custom House Alley and the store room for the cafeteria back of 120,
122 and 124 Princess Street be rat proofed and the cost be charged
against the buildings as the owners had persistently declined to sign
up for this work. Carried.
Mr. Edwards presented the application of Mr. Frank Collier to operate
and retail raw milk dairy (formerly owned by Mr. H. L. Horne). After
a general discussion as to the desirability of having all milk pasteu-
rized, it was decided that the Board would decline to issue a permit
to retail raw milk and that a properly worded regulation be presented
to the Board at a subsequent meeting for official adoption prohibiting
the retail sale of raw milk within the incorporate limits of any city
or town within New Hanover County. It was then moved by Dr. Wessell,
seconded by Mayor Lane, that the above procedure be followed. Carried.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
