The Health Officer presented the monthly reports.
Mr. Edwards explained to the Board members a problem in the milk supply.
Up until recently White's plant had been receiving a very satisfactory
supply of milk directly from West Virginia purchased through Coble's Dairy
in Lexington, but that recently the supply was coming from Lexington and
was having very high bacterial counts. Preceeding this change, the depart-
meht of agriculture had raised the question of no permit having been se-
cured to import West Virginia milk.

thing possible to again secure the West Virginia milk or some milk equally
as good. Carried.
