ular Correspondence The principal
question of interest at present is the dis
posal of the diphtheria scare that has
come upon the city. A little Mexican

and the board of health notified, which
ordered the school closed, the girl and
her family quarantined, and-then they
stopped and as the health officer refused
to treat the case there was a stop to all
further prograss, while red tape was
unwound in determining what physician
should brave contagion and take the
case-especially as the family We're in
digents and there was no money in sight.
The secretary of the board, DR.. c. o.
Dickey gave dose of something and
quit till the matter was settled as to who
was to pay him for the case. Finally he
went to President Firth of the board of
city trustees. who said the girl must
have care, even if he paid it out of his
own pocket. and with this backing the
secretary telegraphed for dose of anti
city health officer is not physician and
the county health officer claims he has
no jurisdiction in the city. The city at
tcrney said it was the duty of the board
of health to care for all such cases and
present their bills to the city for pay
ment.
