Must Pay for Fumigation.

Pierre.-On request of the states at
torney Of Union county, the attorney
generals department has rendered an
opinion on a question which has been
a quandary to more than one house
holder in this state. The attorney
general holds that where the county
board of health has ordered a quaran-
tine and fumigation for contagious dis
eases, the expense of such fumigation
is upon the county, and not upon the
individual owner of the property. This
matter Of expense has been the cause
OF many quarrels between individuals
and officials, and it is to be hoped that
the present opinion will settle the
matter for all time.
