Miss Virginia Brady, R.N., of the Visiting Nurses Association came before the V.N.A. Board at 7:30 p.m. She introduced Susan Kearns, R.N. as the new nurse that will be in charge of Lexington. Miss Brady told the Board that the new contract of the Visiting Nurses with the Town of Lexington will be increased $2.00 per visit more than last year. The services will be the same as last year's contract. The Board thought that was rather a high increase per visit from last year. Dr. Roemer told Miss Brady and Mrs. Kearns that when Town Meeting is in session, the Town Meeting Members are questioning each budget that comes before them more than in the past, and they want more detailed reports from the Town and the organiza- tions that we have contracts with. The Board did question what "health promotions visits" were that the Board of Health pays for. They feel they should have more of an explanation. The Board would like a report stating the reason for the home visits. After further discussion, Miss Virginia Brady and Mrs. Susan Kearns thanked the Board and retired.
