Silva ' s office . Currently, the annual physical consists of general physicals and not a comprehensive one .. , He said that he is concerned about the heart-lung bill .

The cost would be approx- imately $206 not including the EKG and X-Ray ._ The chest x-ray would cost $59 and the EKG about $22 (he was not sure what the stress EKG costs were , li but thought they ranged from $250 to $300 . ) Chief Ridgeway explained to the Board that all his new hires have had these tests in the past year; therefore , implementing this extra would . be less in his department .
