Mr. Lurvey asked if the School Health Department woul agree to these plans would the Board agree. { FLU CLINIC Dr. Cosgrove asked if Mr. Lurvey had ever seen this plan carried out and Mr. Lurvey said "Yes", many other towns use t is plan of immunization. Both Doctor Cosgrove and Mr. West agreed it would be perfectly all right to set this plan into motion.

BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING FEBRUARY 20, 1962 The regular meeting of the Board of Health was held Tuesday evening, February 20, 1962, at 7:30 P.M. in the Board of Health Office. Members present were Acting Chair- man. Dr. William Cosgrove, Mr. James West, and Health Off- icer, Mark D. Lurvey. The minutes of the January meeting were approved with the correction so made before the minutes were put in the permanent records. PINE HILL The permit for the Pine Hill Turkey Farm submitted by TURKEY FARM Mr. Hinds to increase their turkey flock to 20,000 turkeys instead of 10,000 was discussed by the Board. Dr. Cosgrove asked the clerk to check the records of the previous years to see how many turkeys had been kept. The Clerk reported that a minimum of 5,000 turkeys was kept in 1954 and a maximum of 10,000 in all preceding years. In 1955 a rermit was granted on June 24 for 5,000 turkeys and in September of 1955 an additional permit for 10,000 turkeys was granted. Dr. Cosgrove and Mr. Lurvey reported they had telephone conversations with Mr. and Mrs. Hinds, who stated that the increase in the flock was due to the increase in taxes. Mrs. Hinds also stated that as they had a rermit for 15,000 tur- keys (this would be the two permits issued in 1955) it would only be an increase of 5,000 turkeys.
