Carder stated �r �s:rc1;3`z that in as much as the schools did not feel that they were receiving adequate services for the money appropriated to the Olympic Health District the city schools had withdrawn from rn tiY ���` '' '�•,'^i'v� the district. He advised the Council that the County Commissioner's budget for the year "+ 1947 showed an appropriation of $9,700.00, that the school was now employing a full time nurse, and that the amount of these t•ao items, plus the contribution shown in the City g!
