Copy of the minutes of the state Board of Health, found on
pages 144-145 thereof, reading as follows:

"The President then addressed the Board at length on his
reasons for thinking that the Secretary should be requested to
resign, the subjects dealt with being too enormous and too lengthy
to be included here in their entirety. After the President's
address, the Board adjourned and reassembled again at four o'clock
in the afternoon, at which time Dr. Harris's side of the con-

investigation of the malaria epidemic around the pond of the

"On the President and Secretary being recalled an hour later,
the President pro tem, Dr. Benedict, read the following resolution,

framed by a committee appointed by the Board, consisting of Drs. Benedict,
Harris and Brown, and reading as follows:
