Representatives of 50 statewide public health agencies, labor, and agricultural groups yesterday endorsed federal subsidies for local public health service at a meeting at the Medical School.
Senator Leverett Saltonstall '14 will reintroduce the legislation to the 81st Congress. The bill for grants to local health agencies was shelved in the previous session.
The meeting also favored a state law to put a minimum of 35,000 people under local health units. The resolution is contained in the report of a special legislative committee on public health of the Massachusetts legislature. Dr. Hugh R. Leavell, professor of Public Health, chaired the meeting.
