The first floor of the building has in its south end a public health exhibit room. The details of the exhibits are now being planned and within a few months can be opened to the public. The office of the senior bacteriologist, the general laboratory room (at the north), a private laboratory, incubator and cold storage rooms, make up the balance of the first floor. The second floor of the building is used for executive offices, quarters being provided for the State Health Officer, his sec-. retary, the Assistant State Health Officer, the stenographer and the bookkeeper. A large room at the north end of the building is to be used as a library and assembly room. A vault, constructed of reinforced concrete, opens into the bookkeeper's office. An operating room, for vaccinating against smallpox, typhoid fever and rabies, is also provided. The attic at present is in an unfinished state, but will be used for transferred files and vital statistics. The offices of the State Health Officer, the Assistant State Health Officer, the library and the senior bacteriologist are each to be furnished with "Mission" style, early English finish, furniture, all other offices to have golden quartered oak. The fixtures in the veterinary division and in the general laboratory rooms have been constructed of plain white oak, except that all shelves, backs and interior construction are of yellow pine, and interiors of drawers of birch, with fumed oak finish. All file cases throughout the building are of steel. With this expansion in the quarters of the Board there will be a corresponding increase in the work, for it is intended to extend the scientific research work of the Board to include an investigation and survey of the state with regard to latent malarial carriers, special work on rabies, infantile diarrhea, latent gonorrhea, the common drinking cup, the bacterial flora of cities and towns in the state, and probably anti-venin work; also, a study of bovine uncinariasis and its relation to hookworm disease in the human; an extension of the distribution of public health literature, the establishing of a press bureau, etc. Plans are now being prepared for an "Animal House" to be located on the same site as the building, which will provide commodious and sanitary quarters for the various animals necessary in the bacteriological work of the Board. THE TAMPA LABORATORY What the State Health Officer said in his 1909 and 1910 Annual Reports explains the reasons for the establishment of the Tampa Laboratory: "The work of the laboratory (at Jacksonville) has been constantly increasing and to such an extent that a demand came also from the southern section of the state for a branch laboratory to be located at Tampa, the appeal being made not only by medical bodies, but by commercial bodies as well and the civic government both of Tampa and of neighboring towns in that section. This request the Board has seriously considered, and information having been obtained from the administrative government at Tallahassee that such a course would be legal, the same conditions that were initiated at Jacksonville were adopted at Tampa. The city council of Tampa then presented to the Board a very valuable lot at the corner of Florida avenue and Constant street, for this purpose." Plans and specifications were at once prepared for a suitable building, by Architects Shaw & Jay of Tampa, the contract for construction being awarded to Messrs. Dekle & McGucken of the same city. The building was accepted by the Board at a special session held at Tampa in August, 1910, and the laboratory removed from its temporary quarters to the new structure. . The building at Tampa, constructed at a total cost of $17,511.60, is illustrated on page The laboratory proper is located on the second, floor of the building, as well as the office of the bacteriologist in charge and the stenographer. Office space is also provided for the agent of the State Board of Health of Hillsboro County, and for the milk inspector of the city of Tampa. THE PENSACOLA LABORATORY When the Board met in special session in February, 1910, the city of Pensacola presented a request that a laboratory be provided in that city to serve the western section of the state, and the State Board of Health authorized the State Health Officer to establish such an institution. As soon as practicable thereafter-during the month of June, 1910-the Pensacola Laboratory was opened. The city kindly provided the Board with two large and commodious offices in the City Hall (see page ) which answer admirably all purposes.
