Your committee would further report thai the
account or claim of DIR. LaCount we disallow So
for the reason that other doctors charge only
$500 for the same services. We recommend to
dsallow the st. Nazian Association the sum of
nine dollars, claimed for bringing back two in
sane persons that away from that place; for
IN our opinion 1t Is not a proper charge against
the county. The claim OF the city of Manitowoc
for relief of Mrs. Clark and care and support of
her child, itemzed in bill No. %, for the sum
of So: 90 we have recommended to be allowed

reason that in our opinion the claim is not prop
er county charge, and an itemized bill not being
