STILL EXPECT CASH.
City Hopes to Be Reimbursed for Care
of INDECENT Sick.

In a vain hope that the county COM
missioners will relent, open the county
purse and give the city some two or
three thousand dollars, the council has
instructed the city clerk to compile
complete list of all sums of money
which the city has expended in care of
the INDECENT sick since the city charter
act became law on March Is, 1908.
Obedient to instructions, the city clerk
is now engaged in this work, but it is
entirely probably that it will be labor
thrown away.
city charter act by the last legislature,
the city can present its bill to the coun-
ty for the care of contagious diseases.
but the county commissioners are not
obliged to allow the claim. Since they
are not obliged to allow it. the chances
are very good that they will not do so.
No doubt the city's claim is just, for
the city pays into the county treasury
about 81, 900 every year which the
county is supposed to use for the care
of the poor and sick. The city therefore
pays for larger service than it ever
received. and the. city charter act, as
originally drawn by the municipal
league. rectified this seeming injustice
As originally drawn, the charter act
in section 21s provided that in cases of
smallpox and other contagious diseases,
the city should take action to suppress
the disease and pay the bills. Then fol-
lowed section PIG which was as follows:
"A Qeta1leQ 1tefnlZeQ ana correct &C
count of all money so expended by the
city shall be presented to the board of
county commissioners in which such
city is located; and said board of coun-
ty commissioners shall monthly audit
and allow such claims as are found
correct and draw warrants on the
county treasurer in favor of said city
therefor"
When this bill was introduced and
sent to the committee, it was changed
by striking out the words las are found
correct" thus making it mandatory on
the board of county commissioners to
pay the city's bills. 1t is believed that
this amendment in itself would haze
been sufficient to invalidate the section,
because il left no discretion to the
county commissioners as to whether or
not the bills should be paid. The effort
which seemed to have been made to
increase the stringency of the law was
perhaps put forth for the purpose of
'.spiking'' 1t in case of its passage.
When the bill came up in the house,
there was lot of debate on its pro-
visions. and in the course of the fight,
some country representatives got to-
gether. and had the word shall" chang
ed to may" This was a very effectual
check to the force of the law. 1t left
the city merely in the position of a
helpless petitioner for the county COM

and determined upon this meeting. This

of the Troy Chief.
At the first meeting of these editors

action will be outlined. In his notice
of the coming meeting Mr.. Beck says:

TRADE OUTLOOK.
1t Is Reported to Be Better Than for
n Long Time.

New York, July 22.-Reports re-
ceived this week from special agents
of the International Mercantile Agency
at the leading centerS of accumula-
ton and distribution in the country
show very few changes in conditions
from those previously stated. Actual
trade is dull. a normal situation for
this season of the year. The outlook
for fall and winter business is better
in some sections, notably the south
and southwest, than it has been for
long while. Calmer judgment than
obtained in the beginning has reduced
900, 900 bushels of winter wheat for
the four states most affected. One
reliable trade journal has issued a
bulletin, in which it points to total
yield of this cereal of $40 million
bushels, and an exportable surplus of
nearly las million bushels. These are
facts that have helped to dislodge
some of the discouraging sentiments
The strike of the packing house en-
ployes assumed larger proportions
than were first believed possible. How
ever, there has been no suffering from
the advance in the price of meats. 1t
has always been believed that eventu-
ally there would be a peaceful adjust
ment by arbitration and that the dis
turbance would pass away as quickly
portant matter is the threatening at
titude of the Fall River operatives
toward the reduction of II " per cent
in wages, which becomes effective next
Monday. This may spread through out
New England and unsettle business
in that section.
The best commercial reports come
from the west and southwest or from
the very regions where the greatest
disturbance to business poise may be
expected to exist. For instance, Kan
sas City takes very hopeful view of
the crop situation. A week of ideal
harvesting weather has changed the
whole aspect of things and merchants
are refilling orders that had been can
celled on account of the floods. In
spite of the packers strike Chicago
has had a week of marked trade i'm
provement especially in clothing
shoes. dry goods and mems and wom-
ems furnishings. Interior merchants
have shown more willingness to or
der than for some time.
With the prospect of average cereal
crops and an early and large cotton
crop the southwest is beginning to
discount some of the expected enrich
ment of that part of the country. Job
bers are satisfied with returns which
they find exceed those of recent sim
liar seasons. One significant fact is
the demand for a better quality of
goods. This is noticeable in clothing
and shoes.

why the city council got the idea that
1t could make the county pay its doc
tor bills. William Green, chairman of
the ways and means committee, which
reported the resolution to the council
said today.
Il know what the law says about
may allow claims but the fact re-
mains that the coLnty has an obligation
here, and whether the law compels the
commissioners to recognize it or not, I
TO recover our money. Then we will
have done our part. The city pays over
this large tax to the county, and the
county puts a large portion of it into
its general revenue fund, instead of
using it for the care of the sick and
poor, while at the same time the city is
paying out thousands of dollars a year
to sustain its health department"
If the county could be compelled to
pay the bills, it would do away with
large portion of the annual expense of
the health department. The city is now
pest house. supply food to those con-
fined there, send groceries and pay
guards for families which are Quaran-
tined at their homes. The city also has
to pay out large sums every year for
drugs for the poor, and for formalde
hyde for fumigation purposes. The cost
of new equipment for the pest house, or
feed for the pest house ambulance horse
would all come into this bill. 1t would
probably save the city at least $1,000
a year.
The present laws for the care of the
poor and the sick are certainly all
wrong. The city should be relieved
from the burden of contributing $4,000
a year to the county'S funds, and in
stead should be allowed to care for it's
own poor and sick in it's own way. AS
it stands now, the city really pays twice
for taking care of the destitute sick.
