THE DRUG BILL
At the County lnfirmary Explained by
Supt. ]. W. POntlus.
The Expenditure shown to be Most Rea-
sonabIe---A Favorable COmp&ri-
son With Other Counties In
the State.

"The medical member of the Board
does not hesitate to say, that in view of
the small proportion of inmates who
really require medical treatment, the
expenditure for drugs Is eXtraVagant.'
The foregoing paragraph, which yes
inserted in the Visiting Committees
| Report upon the charitable and COrrec-
tiOnal institutions in Stark county. pub
lished In Thursdays DEMOCRAT, for the
purpose of misleading the Taxpayers
and also the remainder of the commit
tee, and in so doing he expects to graf
ify desire to hit the management of
the In6rmsry lick, which he has prom.
ised them for two years or more. The
medical member could find no fault
with the Infirmary or the condition of
the inmates, 1t might have been diff suit
to convince the majority Of the commit.
tee that thing was wrong when they
could look squsrely at 1t. As do not
doubt that the committee, with the ex-
ception Of the medical member, had
desire to make true return of the con-
ditiOn and management of the mfr
mary, so 1t became necessary to select
some one item, with which only the
AuOuANoA woo AhAAAAAhAg NhO VA uk
bill for instance, which. as he has told
you, amounts to $29749 The medical
member has no hesltancy In saying that
this was extravagsnt. Let us see what
he knows about 1t. By looking at the
report you will see that 1926 people were
cared for at the Inarmsry during the
year, with daily average of 1856 In
mates. A great many of these people
became inmates of the Infrmary through
meeting with some injury or sickness,
and in the absence Of a hospital in the
county, were brought here for treat
ment; 1t often happening that single
case cost considerable for drugs By
comparison with the cost of the same
article In similar institutions we may
learn considerable. Stark county ranks
sixth In the State Of Ohio In InfrEary
population, and by referring to the re-
port of the Board Of State Charities for
the year ending August 81, 1885, you
will find that the following named
eighteen counties spent more for drugs
than did Stark county.

complete failure, as at our last visit the
wards were warmed with stoves"
The facts are that at the last meeting
of this visiting committee there was no
steam up In the boiler at the insane
building on account of an accident to
the boiler, and in consequence the
building was not 80 warm as it would
have been had they called the day before
or the day afterwards.
However, 1t Is acknowledged nv the
Commissioners and Architect Tilden
that theTe Is not aUffieient radiat tiOD IN
the two day rooms but this Ia no fraud,
and In consequence Of 1t Stark county
does not loose a dollar, two new radia-
tors have, as the visiting committee
knew, been ordered, and will be placed
In these rooms where the radiation is
insufficient, when this is done there IL
no question but that the heating and
ventilation will be.sllithat the smelling
committee desires.
The Rep, says the committee did not
have the pleasure of viewing the plans
for the 800 600 building, for which
Architect Tilden has the contract.
Architect Tilden says the editor Of the
Rep. is liar, for his contract with the
county says nothing about 100000
building; and that the visiting commit
tee made no effort that he knows of to
see the drawings of the new Infirmary
The contractor for the steam heating
of the new insane building was the
lowest bidder by $34906. He did his
work according to the drawings and
specifications, and got nothing for ex-
trss, a la $4,000 to $4,000 Doodle con.

for the temporary confinement OF any
one arrested for a penitentlary offense,
and the building is too small for town

City Hall is reflection upon the parties
who are responsible for Its con-

The Rep. evidently wants Its readers
to know that they have published a lie,
and that they propose to continue pub
fishing the lie. For some time that
paper has been publishing that the con-
tract price of the new insane building

in a few dollars of $4,000 and bas
