who had been called to attend to the case the town
provided for taking him to ST. Paul to the City

That the expense of such operation was thirty
two dollars and eighty nine cents which was paid
by the town That in addition thereto the town
incurred expense for medical services to the
amount of fly five dollars and seventy five cents
which was also paid by the town. That there was
not sufficient time between the tlrst information
received by the town board and his being taken
away to allow of proper notice being filed with
the county clerk and that it was absolutely neces-
sary that immediate action be had.
The town of Rock Elm therefore asks that the
County reimburse the said town for its necessary
expenditures and ask the passage OF the following
resolution.
the said Town of Rock Elm for expenses incurred
in caring for Jay Leach during an attack of ap.
pendicitis and appropriate therefor the sum &c 81
