Doctor Cannot Excuse
Man from Road Duty

Attorney General Moose in an
opinion written for Frank Erwin of
Oxford states that a physicians
certificate showing a man unable to
perform manual labor is not conclu-
sIve proof that the man is unable TO
work the public roads, aud would
not exempt a man from such road
work. "Sometimes such a certif-
cate may be accepted and the per.
son furnishing it may be excused
from labor on the highways" Judge
Moose states. "But the certificate
is not conclusive. II does not prove
that the person is unable to perform
labor by reason Of physical disabili-
ty."
