1. Board met. with Dr. Sachs to find out what: services State could
provide Boarl. Dr. Sachs brou;;ht two hooks he felt should be
in Board of Health Library - Administration of Commu,ity Health
Services and Principles of Public health Administration. Also
a booklet that describes different functions of Boards of Health. ..
Sonic of these functions, he felt, should he carried out by
a trained professional., wi'o very few boards can afford to hire.
Occassionally the law does not allow State to provide lefwork sery
ices, therefore Boards would have to have their own enp;i.neer draw
up plans and State would check them over. Dr. Sachs felt Board
could check with Paul Sanderson first and if he could not help', to
,ao to his superior. Chairman questioned Boards area of respon-
sibility concerning contaminate'd food stuffs. Dr. Sachs stated .
Board :tliould be guided by his Department's information, and their
request: for help. Dr. Sachs would like to see the best kind of
reporting possible on communicably diseases. There is 'a standard
form, which Dr. Sachs will send to us. Board must: distribute
these to doctors acid hospital. Dr. Sachs felt it was important
to inform doctors why they should report. Ile is interested in
statistics. only, it would 'lot be feasible %or. Board to do follow-
up. 'His departrme.nt liar, no direct connection with area health'
