About the Quarantine.
Montpelier Idaho, April 10th 1896.
Editor EXAMINER,

Dear sir:-I notice in
your last issue an editorial, COM
menting on the action Of the board
Of county commissioners, as.to the
rejection of the Cozzens claim for
expenses during the quarantine of
Gozzens premises, at which time
one or more Of his family are said
to have had scarlet lever. Now
as to the merits of the claim, I
have nothing to say, but as legal
proposition, there is no doubt the
commissioners acted in accordance
with the law in such cases made
and provided.
The revised statues of Idaho at
Section 1853, provides that the
board Of health may quarantine

thereof is confined to the necessary
expense incurred by the board in
enforcing the quarantine, that is
to say the value of the physicians

in case a nurse had to,be employed

Section 1854, provides, All neces-

But you NAV ask, what is to be-
come of those who are too poor to
furnish themselves with the neces-

media attention? To this query,
permit me to say the law makes
ample provision and any person
desiring aid from the county, can,
if proper application il made
coupled with sufficient proof that
he is really an object of charity,
that is to say that he has no prop
erty and no income from any
source, or that he has no property
available with which to pay his
expenses or maintain himself
while in such INDECENT condition,
secure all necessary aid from the
county. The revised statues of
Idaho, at section 2173, which pro-
yides that the application may be
made to the probate judge, the
clerk of the board Of county com
missioners or to any justice of the
peace in the precinct where the in
digent may be found.
The application must be in writing
and be sworn to by the party him
self or the party making the appli-
cation for him, and until such APP
plication is made to the proper Of
