Russell Harris, - Chairman Board of Supervisors ,, Torvm. of Queensbury Star Route Glens Falls, New York 299 Dear Mr. Harris: I would like the Board of Supervisors to consider raising the Physi- cian"s Fee for the Queensbury Childrentis Health Clinic from $20.00 to $30.00 per clinic. My reasons are as follows: ae There has been no increase in rate since the clinic began, in 1952. b. The clinics have grown (especially since the advent of polio vaccine) from an average of 10: to 15 patients to about 35 patients.. For example:, at our last clinic held on May 3,, 1957, L I examined and/or innoculated 48 children. At another recent clinic,, the number seen was 51. c. Because of the increased patient load., the clinics now take about I2 hours whereas they formerly took only 1 hour or less. I hope this suggestion will meat with favorable consideration from. yourself' and the Board. . Very truly yours, /s/ Norman A. Harvey, M.D. Mr. Harris was to answer the foregoing.
