Washington County Doctors
Adopt Resolution
C0NDEMNING CONTRACTS
Which Permit Physicians to Practice for
Lodges, Etc, at Lower Than
the Prescribed
Rates.

Emphatic endorsement Of The posi-.
tion Of the Vermont State Medical So
ciety was made by the Washington
County Medical society at its quar-
tcfly meeting held at the Montpelier
Country club last night, the local
association adopting resolution pro-
hibitmg physicians from doing contract
work for cities. towns societies and
corporations. There was a large at
tendance OF physicians present, and it
is understood that the vote was unani-
mcus.
The action means that any physician
who treats any society or lodge or
does contract work for a less price
than the regular prescribed fees lays
himself liable to expulsion from the
Washington County state and Ameri
can Medical societies 1t is said fur
thermore, that any lodges or societies
engaging such expelled physicians will
thereby be unable TO procure otner
physicians who are in good standing
as consultants, in view of the bar
which has been erected by the medi-
cal association.
This matter has been under consider
ation by the Washington County asso-
ciation for some time, and it was fl
rallv decided 10 take the same action
that had been taken by the Vermont
association. The vote win have quite
a bit Of effect in Barre and Montpelier,
particularly in the former as it is
said that number of physicians are
under contract to lodges or societies.
The vote of the doctors last night will
not affect such practitioners unless
their contract prices are below the us
ual fees
