To the Honorable County Board of Iowa county {:
The claim of DR.. ID. B. Collins, for post mortem
ferred to me for my opinion as to the right OF
the Board of Supervisors to allow the same, l
would respectfully report:
The post mOrtem and autopsy were made on
the 18th and 10Th days of December 1889. On
the oath of February, 1890, DR.. Collins filled his
claim against the county for $4,000 for such
the County Board at the March, 1890, session,
and allowed at the sum of sixty dollars, which
amount was received by DR.. Collins. No appeal
taken from the action of the board.
At the November, 1890, session, DR.. Collins
presented bill for $500 for the same services,
being for $4,000 less the 5000 already received.
This bill was referred to the committee on
claims and by them was reported back to the
County Board for action and was disallowed.
The claimant now asks that this bill be allowed
by this County Board
The statutes of this state provide that all
claims and demands against the county shall
be presented to the county board, and that any
dsallowing any bill in whole or in part to the
circuit court of the county. Sec; 67o OF the Re-
amount allowed for any claim shall have been
accepted and received by the claimant and no
appeal shall be taken from the remaider there
Of further shall thereafter be allowed
or paid thereon by the county board"
As | have already stated the bill was allowed
at 5000 at the March session of the board, and
this was a disallowance of the balance The
claimant received this amount from the county
treasurer, and failed to take appeal within
the time allowed by law. Under these circum-
stances the statute is clear and explicit that no
further sum shall be allowed or paid by this
body.
Dated November 18th, A. D. 1892.
