Keeley of Richmond, first assistant to Dr. Ennion Williams of the State Board of Health and with Dr. Grant, in charge of. medical supervision of the various health units on th: continua- tion next year of the full time health unit. The State officials strongly urged the retention of the unit by the county and pledged an increased appropriation from the State. Under the arrangement which has been In effect during the past year the State has paid $2,500, the county $5,500 and the Fairfav County Cross $1,000 and Representative Walton Moore has given $1,000. Action is Deferred. e The board deferred action until after | = the public hearing March 5 on the county budget. Col. Keeley pledged the board that if the full time health unit is continued the State will increase its appropriation to $4,250.

The proposed budget as published by the supervisors includes an appropria~ tion of $6,500 for public health work This increase in $1,000 was made neces- sary by the withdrawal of Mr. Moore’s $1,000. The Red Cross chapter has pledged its $1,000 again if,the money is needed to insure the continuation of the unit. If the board accepts Col. Keeley's offer, an increase over last year's expenditure of only $250 will be necessary. This is & decrease of $750 over the amount already tentatively al- lowed. Cut Would Be Mistake.
