GRAYLING, April 21st, 1896.
To the Hon. Board of Supervisors, of
Crawford County, Mich.
Gentlemen: My opinion is asked by
you, whether the several bills pre-
sented to your body, which originated
from the cases of diphtheria lately In
this county, should not first have
been submitted to the Superintend-
ents of the Poor. and by them audit
ed, to decide whether the persons
aided were paupers, or II 1t was
proper to render them such aid at the
expense of the county.
Under section 4S3, Howell's ammo
tated Statutes, we find that it Is the
duty OF your Board ito prescribe and
fix the compensation for all services
rendered for, and adjust all claims
against their respective counties, aud
the sums so fixed and defined shall be
subject to no appeal"

been infected with the smallpox or
other sickness dangerous to the public
health, the Board Of Health OF the
township where such persons may be,
shall make effectual provisions In the
manner which they shall judge best
for the safety of the inhabitants by
removing such sick or infected person
to a separate house, II 1t can be done
without danger to his health, and by
providing nurses and other assistance
and necessaries, which shall be at the
charge Of the person himself, his
parents or other persons. who may be
liable for his support, il able; 9th r
wise as charge to the county to
which he belongs: Provided that the
Health Board shall keep and render
an itemized and separate statement
of expenses incurred In so caring for
each person.
From the above I am of the opinion
that these bills are properly befo-e
you for your decision as to their le-
gality, under the last section quoted,
and as to the amount and value OF
services rendered, or supplies fur
nisbed, the same as In all claims
against the county.
