FORBIDDEN TO RECEIVE FEES
Order Issued to District Physicians to
the Poor.

The District Commissioners have ap-
proved a recommendation of the board Of
charities that an order be issued specifically
forbidding physicians to the poor to accept
fees for any class Of service to such pa
tients. Secretary George s. Wilson of the
board addressed the Commissioners on the
subject, saying:
"a report has been received by the board
of charities to the effect that physicians to
the poor have occasionally made charge for
Issuing to poor patients certificates of Ill.
ness to enable them to draw benefits from
insurance companies. An investigation was
made and it was found that charges have
been made In several instances. So far as
we are aware no specific order has ever
been issued in regard to this matter. The
board Is of the opinion that a physician to
the poor should not be allowed to collect
fees Of any kind from patients treated by
him as physician to the poor and carried
upon his list as such and to whom medi-
cines are supplied at the cost Of the Dis
trict. 1t is recommended that an order be
issued by the Commissioners covering this
matter to the following effect:
Physicians to the poor, while acting in
their capacity as such. are forbidden to re-
celve fees for any service rendered their pa
tents, whether such service is in the nature
of issuing certificates or otherwise"
