BOARD OBJECTS TO CHARGE
Opposes Paying Physician So for Visit
ing Injured Fireman, but Allows
Bill Under Protest

Members of the board of fire COM
missioners believe that two dollars a
visit from physician is exorbitant and
registered a vigorous protest at their
meeting yesterday against paying DR..
Daniel McCarr at this rate. They paid
DIR. McCarr's bill, however, although
they were careful to state that it was
done under protest
DR.. McCarr attended Lieutenant B.
w. Trowbridbe, who was recently hurt
at fire. DR.. McCarr paid nine visits
to Lieutenant Trowbridge and rendered
bill of SIS to the commission. All
members of the commission thought
that 81 visit would have been suffi-
cient, but DIR. McCarr produced the fee

Medical association and showed that he
was we'll within the limit.

of Health

Yesterday was the last vaccinatio
day before the opening of school and
DIR. Garcelon and two assistants had
their hands full in endeavoring to care
for all the school children who present
ed themselves with barred arms at the
health Office. When the weary physi-
clan closed his office last evening more
than $50 youngsters had felt the prick
of the needle and had gone away
proudly holding their left arms.
Two hundred and fifty injections of
virus in single day is a record-breaker
for DIR. Garcelon, in spite of the fact
that since last Monday he has been
doing little else but running the needle
under the tender skin of youth. The
number of vaccinations for the week
nearly reached the 600 mark at the close
of business yesterday.
