Much interest and discussion in the Board membership and throughout the state this year centered about the necessity for providing some safe method of drinking water and sewage disposal. 1888. Yellow fever epidemic in Florida and refugees to Western North Carolina demonstrated value of a Board of Health to cope with situation. Annual appropriation, $2,000. 1889. The chief item of interest and importance to the cause of public health was a state-wide "sanitary convention" held in Raleigh February 6.

The Board published an exhaustive paper by Dr. H. T. Bahnson of Salem, President of the Board, entitled: "The Public Water Supply of Towns and Cities in North Carolina." Providing refuge for hundreds of people who had fled from their homes father south on account of yellow fever was a grave problem. 1890.

By December 15, 1889, 200,000 cases were reported in New York alone. It struck North Carolina during the first week in January and in two weeks time it was reported to be raging in 68 counties. 1891.
