Iowa Falls, April A proposition
that fairly blistles with legal points is
before the board of supervisors of this

this city. The questions involved are of
the cities and counties OF the state are
wrestling with the same questions or
will be called upon TO do so in the event
of quarantine regulations being en-
forced on account Of smallpox or other
infectious diseases. The settlement of
the bills incurred in the recent enforce
ment of the state quarantine rules and
regulations is the matter before these
bodies and the question of the liability
of the county and the city in the vari-
ous matters brings out many points of
Flaw that render the speedy settlement of
the doubtful points anything but an
leasy matter. The local board has re-
fquired that each bill shall be itemized
and that their validity be attested under
oath, so that when the city and county
are thru with the matter each item paid
! for will be a matter of record. The pest
house used here Will be paid for by the
county and become the property of the
same. while many of the other bills
| will be shared by both county and city
! A vital point seems TO be prominent in
1.-THE discussion of the payment of these
4 claims and that is the failure of either
county or city to be liable in the event
that the patients are able 20 pay many
i holding that In such cases all claims but
a few general ones must be recovered
from the individuals or those liable for
4 their support. Another unique point has
i also developed in this case, and that is
slwhether or not a citizen Of another
1 county of the state ia not the charge of
4 his home county, and the foreign county
.Iliable for the expenditures necessary in
tearing for the stranger during his quar-
1 antine in another county. One of the
\ patients confined in the pest house here
during the late smallpox scare vas a
citizen of Hancock county, and it will
be maintained that his home county is
& liable for the expenses incurred in the
q proper care of the young man while I'm
der quarantine here. Both the local
board and line board of supervisors art
4 canvassing these matters very careful
lily, and the law will be followed strictly
