State Beard OF Health Of Louisiana was re-
Gently received by the National Board Of
HEALTH In this city, containing 1t is said by
members Of the latter board, certain crtt-
cisms upon the action of the board, a.i ac-
counting officers Of the Treasury Department
In not forwarding 70 the State Board the S10-
900 applied for, to be expended ut its discre-
tion. The secretary Of the National Board
forwarded reply to the letter to-day, In
which he says. In some respects 1t is Q
waste OF time to discuss the matter, since
under existing laws the National Board Of
Health has no authority to comply with your
wishes, even were 1t disposed to do 80, and
you may rest assured OF the certainty that
the accounts Of your board will not be paid
until they are presented IN proper FORM
After quoting at some length from the COM
munication of the State Board, DR.. Turner
says. "It does not appear to me that public
hygiene should be considered or dealt with
aH u charity, nor that the act OF Congress
under which the board has been endeavoring
to prevent the occurrence and spread of yell
low fever should bs considered as mere senti-
mental legislation, nor Is 1t at all evident that
sound policy demands the utmost tlexibility
OF the working machinery Of any system, no
matter for what purpose intended"
