COMMISSIONER PROCEEDINGS
Board Holds Adjourned Meet
ing and Takes Action On
Several County Matters

The Board of County Commissioner
held adjourned meetings on MONDAY
aud Tuesday Of this week, at which
the following business was transacted:
Commissioner Sweeney moved tina
on and after the first day OF August
1909, Mrs. A. p. fenvoord, Matron oil
the Eureka County Hospital, be allowed
$l.25 for each patient now in or who
may be admitted to said hospital, up to
and including four. and for each addi
tional patient over four. the sum OF
$l.10 per day; that the Clerk Of tn,
Board notify the Matron of the orde,
made by the Commissioners, and thai
she be requested to accept or reject the
same. Commissioner Fraser seconded
the motion. which on being put to
vote was unanimously carried.
This action was taken by the Board
for the reason that for the past year OF
so there had not been on the average
more than five patients at the County
Hospital. That the sun at present al.
lowed. viz: 81 10 for each patient,
scarcely left the matron any compensa-
ton for her W services, after purchas-
ing fuel. lights and provisions, owing to
the advanced prices Of the same over
previous years. During the past few
months there had only been three pa.
tients at the hospital. which scarcely
justified the running Of it at all. As i,
is absolutely necessary that the County
Hospital be maintained. so that poor
persons brought to 1t could receive med.
ical care aud attention. there being nc
private hospitals at present in Eureka,
two methods were talked over, one to
give a raise Of $1.25. as was done. for
four patients, and the other that all the
male patients on the INDECENT list should
be compelled to go to the County Hos
pital. as was done here about II or Is
years ago. But the Commissioners did
not like this plan IL there was any other
reasonable way Of getting around it, al
many OF the old men had their own
homes and did not like the idea Of going
to the hospital. although the Commits.
sioners thought the patients would have
more accommodations at the hospital
and more nourishing food thar they
would in their own cabins. However,
the Board may be compelled in the
future to adopt the latter course if il
annot see its way clear in any other
manne
The Clerk Of the Board was instructed
to order from the Canton Calvert Com
pany Of Canton, Ohio. one Acme cul
vert pipe ~ feet long and two feet in
diameter. to be delivered free at Pail
SADIE at $l.76 per linear foot also one
