NEW MEDICAL PLAN
TO AID THE POOR
Board of Education to Hear
Recommendations of
School Physicians.

Methods of securing more assist
ance for the poor in obtaining free
medical attendance for their children
will be considered at the next meet
ing OF the board o.. education. Under
present arrangements II is first neces-
sary for poor people to call personally
on the township trustee and procure
a written order for the services of one
of the two physicians employed by the
township to treat families financially
unable to employ a physician.
Dr. A. L. Bramkamp, medical in.
spector of the city schools. has point.
ed out that the township trustee can
only be in his office a small portion OF
the time and that for this reason peo
pie are frequently unable to secure
the necessary order for a physician
On this account many cases which
might have been treated with little
difficulty at the inception of the all
ment show serious developments be
fore medical attention is secured.
Recommendation will be made to
the board of education that the teach
er or principal be given authority tc
issue these orders when they are
! needed, making it unnecessary for the
parents to call personally on the town
ship trustee.

LEVY FOR COUNTY
GENERAL FUND MUST
STILL Be KEPT UP
Continued from Page One.)

August IA, the council was again call
ed in special session and an additional
appropriation. of $4,000 was provided
for bridges damaged by flood. This
makes a total of s74,331 appropriated
for bridges and bridge repairs in 1918,
which is $47,951.S0 in excess of the
average amount expended in the last
five years.
The reduction of the rate of four
cents on each 500 in 1911, paying for
assessing out of the general fund );
unexpected expenditures made for
bridges this year has resulted in a
depletion of the general fund to the
extent that one of two things must be
done, viz: the general fund levy must
be put back where it was, to 34-9-20
cents, or practice the strictest of econ
omy for the period of a year or two
until the general fund can recover it.

overdraught at the close of the semi
annual periods when money collected
from taxation is receipted into the
treasurer. In the event the latter
course is to be pursued it will even
then be absolutely necessary to post

work. This being done a levy of 81
$50 cents will be sufficient
Bond Sinking Fund.
The bonded Indebtedness of the
county.
The outstanding bonds of the coun-
ty are as follows: The last series of
the court house bonds in the amount
of $4,000, which are due in Deem
Der of this year. and $50, of refund
ing bonds. of which $40, 1000 are due in
each of the years 1914. 1915 and 1916,
at which time the county will be out
of debt, unless further indebtedness
is contracted.
The bond sinking fund levy has
been reduced one cent per year since
1907. except the years 1909 and 1912,
in which there was no reduction With
the present balance on hand there can
