County Not Liable.

Pierre.-On inquiry from Penning-
ton county it is held that a county is
not liable for the cost of publication Of
general orders of the state board OF
health, which under the law shall be
printed in a paper at the state capital.
That only orders which may affect
specific localities may be published at
county cost In county papers. This
m upon through the action of the
head OF the health board Of Pennington
county ordering the publication of a.
general order of the state board. Along
this same line. at the late meeting OF
state health officers, one of the fea-
lures discussed was greater publicity
of the orders Of the board than is
provided under existing statutes.
