ices Rendered a Small
pox Patient
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

VALLEJO, June 23.-Dr. c. E. Turner
of the health board of this city will in
stitute suit against the city trustees
and Mayor j. J. Madigan. He will en-
deavor to secure Judgment In the su-
perior court for $365 for professional
services rendered a smallpox patient
two months ago. When Turner pre-
sented his bill to the trustees at. their
meeting Wednesday evening it was
held up for payment on the ground that
as he is a city official it would be con-
flicting with the city charter to re-
munerate him for any contract or SER
vices furnished the city during his in
cumbency. The stand of the city faith
ers was taken on the advice of City At
torney Powers, who stated that he
would advise the creditor to appeal to
the superior court and secure "a judg-
ment against the city for costs of the
action and the sum due him. Frank r.
