COMMISSIONERS WOULD PLACE
DUTY ON THE COUNTY
PHYSICIAN.
Matter Will Be Considered When Con-
tract Is Awarded for Caring
for the County Poor.

When the county commissioners
award the contract for the care Of the
county poor at the April session a new
departure may be inaugurated in the
matter of furnishing medical attention
to the people depending upon the char
ity of the county. Under the system
now in vogue the keeper of the coun-
ty poor furnishes at his own expense
any medical attention needed by his
patients. The plan proposed by the
commissioners is to place upon the
shoulders of the county health physi-
clan the duty of attending to the coun-
ty poor without any additional recon-
pense aside from his regular monthly
salary of SIS. AS the keeper of the
county poor makes allowance for med
ical services when bidding for the con-
tract the commissioners believe that
by the plan PROPOSED the county can
effect quite a saving.
The commissioners will award the
contract for the keep of the county
poor at the April session. At present
it is costing the county $500 year to
care for it's INDECENT. L. L. Hunt has
had the contract for several years.
