EDITORS DsMoeRAT!--l noticed IN your
paper Of the G2hd inst, something that
prctcnds to have been the proceedings Of
a meeting Of the learned in physic, tShich
you head a. Tho Supervisors IS. the
Physicians" and which looks tome more
like the physicians vs.. the Supervisors
They claim that certain ordinance
Which they Gala resolution, passed BY the
Board of Supervisors, is a violation Of
their professional rights, ind is'rnsar..
ranted bylaw, and gross assumption Of
power. Now ilis.tle first time I ever
knew that any set Of men had profess
sional right to charge three or four prices,
and have q right to collect it; ms some Of
the men that arc complaining tried to do
at The last levy meeting of the Board Of
Supervisors. Itnppcars that the persons
who Constituted that mccting-said 10
haze been held in Weston some fine ago
were DR.. j.. r. Roach, Dr.. I. b.
Camden, DR.. r. B. Edn,iston, Dr. YIN.
j. Bland, DR.. N. +. Bland, Or. +.
Christian, DR.. s. ". Hall, DR.. P. G..
Musscr, DR.. b. Jodot and DR.. ). Nc
Whorter. Nov LET Us see now it is Gun
warranted 81 law and a gross assumption
Of power" Cbapted SO OF tho Code Of
West Virginia, section %, says "tlle Board
Of Supervisors ofcvcry County, subject TO
the restrictions and regulations prescribed
by law, shall hatc the caro- and disposal
Of the property, and The superinlendence
and admin istration Of the internal affairs
and fiscal concerns Of the Cotn.J."
Section "a says ''thsy ,nny enact ordi-
nances not inconsistent With the laws ofhc
State, for the regulation oftho several
matters committed to their care or admin.
istration, ard the due and orderly con.
Quoting Of tho affairs Of the county. All
regulations of q general nature, intended
10 have .'contintous operation. or TO be
applicable 10 future cases, shall be by or:
dinarcc. and not By resolution or order"
Now will the learned gentlchien tell us ali
about tho law that the ordinance cont
planned ofconnic,s with, and all about tic
Resumption ofpowcr!'
