Much Laxity
In examining the unpaid bills fac.
! Ing the Senate, Chairman Fairchild
OF the Ways and Means Committee
found that in times past subordinate
have made purchases and contracted
indebtednesses without any appar-
ent authority from department heads
for so doing.
Furthermore the bill will require
that when purchases are made there
must be money available for the pur-
pose.
The provision in the original bill.
providing that all road work in the
various Counties. the cost of which
exceeds $500. must be done by con-
tract, advertised and awarded the
lowest bidder The Ways and
Means Committee In its report.
though 1t leaves the provision in the
bill, modifies 1t SO that the matter Is
practically up to the Supervisors OF
each County.
There was considerable discussion
on the bill and the amendments when
the measure came up for second read
ing in the Senate this morning, II
was finally laid over until Saturday
next.
Medical Joker
The eagle eye of Senator Chilling
worth discovered a joker in Senator
Coelho's medicine and surgery bill
this morning. Though the object of
the bill supposedly is to make 1t pos.
sible for sufferers In the advanced
stages OF disease to avail themselves
of any method of treatment they may
desire, II was pointed out that one
clause nullified all medical practice
safeguards so far as treating the dis
eases of asthma, tuberculosis, and
leprosy Is concerned.
Chillingworth was very modest as
he picked out the offending section:
with my limited knowledge OF the
law 1t appears to me that this proyi-
sion Is dangerous, and would allow
any and all to practice on asthmat-
les cpnsttn nt iyau ,,. iaNn,g ..ta IA.
