\.
Present: Mr. Addison Hewlett, Chairman, Dr. James H. Smith, Dr.
W. Houston Moore and Mr. H. M. Roland.
The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.
The Health Officer presented the monthly reports.
The Health Officer explained to the Board members the feelings of
the attorney handling the delinquent rat and proofing bills to the
effect that apparently there had been aruoversight on the part of
the Program Director in the case of the proofing of the Holmes pro-
perty and, for that reason, he felt that we should accept a compromise
settlement rather than go to court. It was then moved by Mr. Roland,
seconded by Dr. Smith, that the Health Officer, Mr. Lassiter and Mr.
Blanchard confer with the attorney and agree on a compromise settlementy
Carried.
The Health Officer explained to the Board members that all cows had
been removed from the newly incorporated City limits with the exception
of one cow which was owned by Mr. C. B. Morris. Mr. Morris,who original-
ly had some six or seven cows,had already disposed of all of them except
one and requested that, if;possible, the Board permit him to retain this
one cow on the grounds that he needed the milk because of his health.
After a brief discussion, it was moved by Dr. Smith, seconded by Mr.
Roland, that no exception be made in any case and that the Health Officer
be allowed to decide on the length of time given Mr. Morris to remove
the cow from the City limits. Carried.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
