FORCES BUSY
TRYING TO GET VOTES,

With the second special election on
the proposition to buy a site adjoining
the CASTOR Street High School and
erect a new building on Tuesday the
opposing groups in West Orange are

the friends of the new school idea and
those who are satisfied that the pres

DISCUSS BILL
FOR VACCINATION
Board Of Health Didn't Like
the Idea Of Being Ignored
About ii

The members of the Board Of Health
at their meeting on Monday considered
the bill of Dr.. Frank j McGrath, a city
vaccine physician for 1895 for services
during the recent smallpox epidemic
and which was passed by City Council.
This bill was not endorsed by the
Board Of Health. The bill for the work
was accompanied by a list Of names,
numbering over 1000 vaccinated by DR..
McGrath DR.. Frank j. Pierson re-
ceived S5 for vaccinating over so peo-
pie. Several members of the Board
thought the McGrath bill should first
have been submitted for their ap-
proval. as they had ordered the work
done and it was stated that the bill
presented by DR.. Pierson was entirely
too small.
At the meeting on Monday Auditor
Charles R. Kenworthy sent the follow
ing statement:
THE voucher. cheque and itemized
bill OF Dr. McGrath were received
from the Clerk Of Council on June 20,
and an examination Of Council showed
that the bill was presented to Council
on June %, read and referred to COM
mittee On June % the voucher mark
ed. approved and payment recommend
ed by committee. and signed by James
Kane, Richard c. McMullen and Ed
ward H. Higgins a majority of said
committee, was ordered paid by Coun-
Gil in open meeting.
THE cheque was drawn against the
Board of Health appropriation, a sum
sufficient 10 cover the cheque being
transferred TO take Il up. When the
voucher reached the auditors office,
il was found that It was accidentally
drawn against the incidental and mis-
account of Council The
voucher was accordingly returned for
and was not approved until
had been made The City
rendered the opinion that the
method Of payment was according TO
law.
THE approximate number Of extra
vaccinations. as shown by DR. Nc
Grath's bill Is 1000 This makes the
charge less than twenty cents each.
OF course, the Board of Health furn-
ished the vaccine.
Before approving the bill. it was
that the charges of local
for vaccination range from
soc to 50. and II must be understood
that a physician exposed to smallpox
as was DR.. McGrath would likely suffer
a considerable loss of business. This
office has nothing to say about the
manner Of passing the bill; the opin-
ion Of the City Solicitor relieving the
office Of all responsibility. and it is
not the province Of the auditor to place
his opinion above the law
