Fees For Private Work.
DR.. L. D. Bristol, director Of the
state public health laboratory which
is under the control of the University
Of North Dakota, announces that the
state board Of regents have authorized
the charging of fees for all work
which is not strictly public health
work, and which the laboratory is not
called upon to do according to law.
These charges will go into effect De-
cember next.
All such private work for physi-
clans has been done in the past, free
of charge; but on account Of the 20
per cent cut in the appropriation for
the laboratory, and because the cost
Of most laboratory supplies has ad-
vanced from so to 200 per cent this
work can be done in the future only
for specified fees.
