The meeting OF the board of selectmen
last evening was unusually interesting, at
which every member Of the board WAS
present. The cause of the interesting
session was the refusal of the committee
on finance of the board to approve the
bills of certain physicians of the city
who during the recent smallpox scare
public schools in compliance with the re-
quest of the principals and sent the bills
therefor to the town .sgent.
When the matter came up last evening
Town Agent Clarity stated that the com
mittee had not approved the bills, as they
desired to learn upon whose authority the
vaccinations had been made. He said
that during the scare the board of health
had entered into an agreement with the
town agent whereby the board was to fur
nish the vaccine points and the
operation was to be performed on
all school children, who could not afford
to pay more, by the town physicians for
the nominal price of 10 cents per child.
After the arrangement had been entered
into the health board, through some delay
did not furnish the points, and in conse-
quence the children were sent to the doc
| tors by the principals of the schools. He
further stated that number of children
had been vaccinated at the towns expense
whose parents were abundantly able to
pay for them, and who, in fact, owned
several houses. He strongly advocated
| new rule being adopted whereby all chill
| dren who were to be vaccinated at the
| town expense should be compelled to apply
| at the town agents Office for a ticket and
take 1t to one Of the town doctors.
| DR.. Bellosa who, with Drs. Bissen and
Park were the physicians whose bills
the committee on finance had failed to ap-
prove was present, and said that hereto
fore 1t had always been the custom for
principals of schools to send scholars to
him for vaccination, and he had always
vaccinsted them, receiving payment there
for from the town.
The board finally voted to instruct the
committee on finance to approve the bills
of Drs. Bellosa, Bissen and Park, and re-
fer the other question of the adoption of a
new rule relating to vaccinations to the
committee on outside poor with power to
act.
