CaU.ED MEETING BOAR;) OF HEALTH
HELD IN OFFICE OF BOARD
JULY 5, 1946
Present: Mr. Addison Hewlett, Chairman, Dr. W. Houston Moore,
Mayor W. Ronald Lane and Mr. H. M. Roland.
This meeting was called to explain to the Board members the fact
that the U. S. Public Health Service had notified the Health Officer
that effective Friday night, July 5, the U. S. Public Health Service's
DDT Dusting Program would be reduced 66 2/3% and that the program in
Wilmington would have to be discontinued unless the local appropriating
authorities could arrange to pay for the labor involved in the program.
The Director of that program promised that if the local appropriating
authorities would pay the labor (three men at $35.00 per week) the
federal government would pay the foreJ!lan, furnish all the DDT and the
truck and that they would also furnish a special rat poison known as
1080. This government representative very urgently reconnnended that
if we took the program over the crew be directed to dust routinely
four days per week and poison one day per week.
The Health Officer reported on the typhus and rat flea situation at
the beginning of the program and up to date and urgently reconnnended
that the program be continued, if possible.
The feeling of those present was that the matter should be referred
to a joint meeting of the City and County appropriating authorities
and that the Health Officer should appear before such a meeting and
explain as far as possible the details involved.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
