Washoe county does not propose 10
stand the expense Of maintaining one Of
Eureka county's paupers without . further
6ght, and the case recently decided in the
District Court at Carson In favor Of Eureka
county has been appealed to the Supreme
Court. The suit was brought to recover
SO, liz for the maintenance Of one John
Fitzgerald who, It viii be remembered.
died . few days since ct the county hsspi.
tai.
Fitzgerald was admitted to the washoe
county hospital in August, 1892. For
several years prior to that time he had been
an inmate OF the Eureka county hospital
but at the meeting Of the Board Of Com
missioners Of Eureka county in August,
1892, the sun Of $50 was allowed TO be
drawn by one Of the commissioners to laid
fitzgerald to reach his friends in San
Francisco" TIT money was drawn and
Fitzgerald started on his journey. The
next thing that is known concerning F;tx.
gerald Is that . few days later he was found
In Reno, sick and destitute. The authori.
ties were appealed to in his behalf and he
was removed to the Hospital where he has
ever since remained the most expensive
patient that the county has been Obliged to
support.
The case has been fought by Eureka
county principally upon the ground that
Fitzgerald was never legally admitted to
the hospital. for the reason that he was
not admitted at q regular meeting of
the board, and further that no legal
notice was ever written to or served upon
Eureka county. In answer to this it has
been contended by Washoe county that Il
Is the duty Of commissioners TO grant relief
when the necessity demands. and that in
any event, in the present case. the board
at regular sessions has ratified any un-
authorized act that may have been done in
the emergency of the occasion. As TO the
notice, 1t Is claimed that the law has been
complied with and that Eureka county was
served with the same and IL not now in .
position to question its regularity. But
the fact remains, however. that Washoe
county is out some 81, 500 In furnishing
relief for this man whom Eureka county
so generously (!)sided ITO reach his friends"
