Section 1492. Local board of health: How constituted and ap-

dents. of each county or corporation, at least one of whom shall be a
regularly licensed physician, who shall, with the county clerk and the
chairman of the board of supervisors or the mayor of the corporation,
as the case may ke, constitute a county, town or city board of health;
but where the charter of any city or town already provides for the crea-
tion of a board of health the provisions of this section shall not apply.
The chairman of the board of supervisors shall act as the president of

removed for cause by a majority vote of the board.
