Dr. Cosgrove said maybe a letter to the State Health Depart- ment asking what can be done on a local level might be in order. He also said he thought if Dr. Ellicott was asked he would come in to a Board Meeting and talk to the Board about the approach being taken in Town by the Drug Abuse Committee and the local doctors. Mr. Lambie said he felt that we as the local public health should know something of what is being done. The Health Officer's report was checked and it was noted MILK that Ware Dairy still had high counts on their cream. Dr. COUNT Colburn said he felt that this should not go on much longer, a letter should be written to Mr. O'Connor stating that their license to deliver milk in Lexington would be revoked unless this condition was corrected and remained corrected. Mr. Heustis said this company was still on a probationary period. Dr. Colburn said he still wanted a letter written stating that these conditions would not be tolerated and that this Board would have no alternative but to revoke their license. Dr. Cosgrove reported on the Article on Fluoridation for Town Meeting. At the present time the Appropriation Committee will recommend to Town Meeting that $1000.00 be spent for a FLUORIDATION preliminary survey and then the Board will have to go back to a Special Town Meeting for the additional $4000.00 for a defin- itive survey. He said he will check to see when this article will come up at Town Meeting so he could be there. Meeting was adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
