The Local Government Board has
again refused to increase the salary Of
DR.. Moran, medical dispeneary officer Of

was based is that "the population has
not increased since DR.. Moran's appoint

been referred to the local dispensary
committee. The opinion in the entire
district is that DR.. Moran is insuficiently
paid for the duties he is called on to
