RICH FAT INCOME IS FIXED Up
FOR HDSTu|NG HEALTH OFFICER
Board Of Health Quietly Gives Dr. A. E. Braden Monopoly on
Forced Examinations of Fallen Women Under Plea of
Public Health Demands --About $500 Weollv

Fees amounting to 5000 week is
the enriching perquisite of the city
health Office, providing an order re-
Gently issued by the city board of
health. commanding the fallen women
of the restricted district to appear
before DR.. A. E. Braden for examin-
alton, is carried out.
The denizens of the lava beds were
stunned a few days ago when Cap
tain of Police Mike Davis, acting un-
der instructions from Chief Brown,
notified them that they must appear
before the city health physician once
each week for examination, the foe
for which was to be 81.
The amazing order came to light
yesterday when two habitues of the
underworld appealed to other physi-
clans of the city against the injustice
of the order.
Board Made the Order.
An inquiry set afoot by some Of
the physicians brought out the fact
that the order issued to the women
had been made with the full knowl
edge and consent of the city board
of health at a recent meeting and at
the suggestion of DR.. Braden, who,
as city health officer, was designated
as the proper physician to make the
examinations.
That the city board of health did
not realize the full import of the Or
der, or the complications that would
surely ensnare the city health officer,
if he were given the monopoly of the
new business created by the order,
was admitted by members OF the
board this morning and a meeting has
been arranged for early next week

for the purpose of modifying the Or
der so that the women can secure GER
tificates of good health from any
regular practicing physician. >,
He "Cut the Price,"
The question of compelling the
women to secure a certificate Of good
health once each week was brought
up at a rcent meeting of the board
of health by Health Officer Braden.
The meeting was attended by the full
board, DR.. .Braden and Chief Brown.
The prevalence of so much ill
health among the denizens of the un-
derworld was discussed and it was
suggested by DR.. Braden that the
examination be made once each week.
DR.. Braden said such examinations
should be microscopical in nature, IS
for which would be a very small fee.
However, as the stamping out of
disease was highly essential to the
health of the community, he would
agree to make such examinations for
81 each. The board accepted the
proposition and an order was issued
to Chief Brown to notify the women
to visit DR.. Braden every week and
get a certificate of good health at 81
per certificate.

 Anthony Carroll said he was not in favor of granting a contract to men who resorted to lobbying to gain a contract. He said the city charter should not be changed for the accom- mediation of the board of health. He said, however, that if the city was to be benefited he would not object.
