THE COMMISSIONERS REPLY.
TO THE LETTER SENT THEM BY
THE COUNCIL.

The county commissioners replied to-
day to the letter sent them a few days
g by the mayor and city council in con
nection with the care of smallpox patients
and it is possessed of the real ring. 1t is
as follows:
T the Mayor and City Council of the
City of Butte:
"Gentlemen-Your mmunica of
the list inst addressed to the board of
county commissioners of Silver Bow
county in which your honorable body
makes the statement that the city of
Butte will not be responsible for half the
salary of the physician in charge of the
county pest house. has been received.
This statement, in view of the fact that
the city board of health guaranteed half
of the salary of said physician and also
half of the salary of the nurses, seems to
us to be odd to say the very least. We
desire to say that it is a we'll established
fact in law that all incorporated cities are
required to take charge of and care for,
at it's sole expense, all infectious and on
taglous diseases of any and every kind.
notwithstanding this fact we desire to
aid the city in every way possible, hat all
such diseases may be stamped out and
the community freed therefrom: n to
that end we desire again to offer to your
honorable body the free use of the county
pest house and ambulance. Further, we
will guarantee half of all expense in
Cured In the care and support Of all pa
tents sent to the pest house, together
with half the cost Of medicine and medi-
cal attendance. We further agree, on be-
half Of Silver Bow county, that all cases
pronounced smallpox or varioloid by the
city physician will be received and prop
erly treated at the county pest house upon
prope notification.
we believe this to be a time for calm
and sober elaboration, and we desire to
lend to the city health officers our hearty
cooperation in any measure that will
tend to the eradication of the present
epidemic.
"Respectfully. County Commissioners.
wv. d. CLARK, Chairman"
