NEW HEALTH LAWS
What the Legislature Did in
the Interest of Better
Health in North Car
olina. The last General Assembly;
backed by Governor T. W. Bick
ett, enacted probably more mod
ern and progressive health leg
islation than any other General
Assembly North Carolina has
ever seen. While there were
several pieces of valuable legis
lation which failed of passage,
there was enough other good leg
islation enacted to amply justify
calling this a traly public health
Legislature.
. Chief among the new health
laws enacted were a State-wide
Q larantine Livv, a Meaical In
spection of Schools Law, a Ru
ral Sanitation Liw. a Law for
the Prevention of Blindness, a
Hotel Inspection Law, and a
Liw liaq-iiring'the Inspection
and Hygienic Cire of Prisons
and Prisoners.
