HOLD UP BILLS Of
TOWN PHYSICIAN
IrVington Doctor Asks Recon-
pense for Time Given to
Court Matters.
Blns aggregating s25 presented by

Bills aggregating $25 presented by
DR.. Albion C. christian, town physi-
clan, to the Iryington Board of Com
missioners last night evoked long
discussion and were finally held up
FOR investigation by Commissioner
Leonard Setaro The officials passed
on final reading the ordinance pro-
viding for the removal of snow and
Ice. Mayor William L. Glorieux OBJ
jected to the ordinance, but to no
avail.
In presenting the bills from DR..
Christian Commissioner Setaro pro-
tested their payment at least until
time was given him to investigate
them. A fee of IS was asked for in
each of five instances where the ply
sician had been summoned as a wit
ness before the grand jury and In
court cases. He had been called as
a witness because of his being the
town physician, and the cases per-
tained to matters brought before him
in his official capacity.
Mr.. Setaro contended that the or
dinary citizen received only fifty cents
for serving as a witness, and believed
that the bills ought not to be paid by
the town. Mayor Glorieux and Com
missioner David H. Greene pointed
out that the physician acted as a rep
resei.tative of the town and therefore
the bills ought to be paid To this
Mr.. Setaro answered that 1t was the
doctors misfortune" to be called to
testify and that the town had moth
ing to do with the matter.
DR.. Christian, in his own behalf, said
that the cases had taken up a great
deal of his time, that the fee charged
was reasonable and modest; In fact,
he could secure 500 a day testifying
for the Public Service Corporation,
he added. Mr.. Setaro frankly adj
mitted that the bill was not unrea-
sonable, but that he objected as a
matter of precedent. He said that he
did not want to do an injustice to
the physician norf the town, and
thought the bills should be held Up
another week for investigation.
Mayor Glorieux said payment
should be made Immediately and
Commissioner Greene offered a
motion to this effect, which the
mayor seconded. The motion was
lost on the roll call, as it did not re-
ceive a majority vote of the body
Mr.. Setaro voting no and Commis-
sioner Mahlon Stockman declining to
be recorded. Mr.. Setaro was then or
dered to report the bills at next
weeks meeting.

that imperative duty compels me to
absent myself from the pleasure OF
your society for an indefinite period.
May your Christmas be most happy,
your New Year full of peace and
