Dr. Hardin believed that perhaps some of the <br />interpretation the Judge has put on his letter is just a <br />matter of verbalism rather than anything else. He continued <br />that he wrote Judge Smith,"As to the health problem <br />experienced by the Judges and your assistants, we are deeply <br />.concerned about the health of all of you as well as those <br />citizens and employees who have suffered no ill effects to <br />date. We have had every conceivable test recommended or <br />suggested to us made to determine what could be causing this <br />problem. We are aware of the fact that you have had your <br />own personal physician, ophthalmologist and pulmonary <br />specialist involved, and as we understand it, none of these <br />specialists have been able to tell you what is causing your <br />problem." Judge Smith in his letter states, "...you have <br />stated that none of the specialists have been able to tell <br />us what is causing our problem, and this is not correct." <br />Dr. Hardin did not know how much more correct he could be. <br />As to the problem of the pigeons, this was a decision <br />by the Board of County Commissioners. Dr. Hardin reported <br />that they searched this out as far as they could, and found <br />that, according to the people contacted, there is no problem <br />with pigeons at the Courthouse. He'felt the Judge is using <br />a hypothetical "down the road" situation. <br />Dr. Hardin informed the Board that he has requested the <br />DHRS to come over and make more tests, but it seems that <br />everybody now is in a position where they don't want to.do <br />it. He noted that there was one outside firm that wanted <br />$1,800, plus expenses, for a two day visit to do this. Dr. <br />Hardin reported that the formaldehyde tests made in <br />September"of 1981 showed .226 parts per million in the vault <br />area and less than .01 parts per million in Judge Smith's <br />area. <br />MAY 2 6 1982 9 p�sF <br />43 . <br />$0 <br />
