.S1.O2 PER MAN
COST OF DRAFT
ee6 Men Were Examined in Lee coun-
ty at Total Cost Of ~ ,006.
Lower Than in other
Counties.

The cost Of the examination and
handling of the cases OF the 996 men
examined for the draft in this county
to date, is just s102 for each man, &C
cording to figures given out today by
Secretary of the Local Exemption
Board A P. Meyer, who prepared a re-
port OF the cost in accordance with
a request from the adjutant general
at Des Moines. The total cost Of the
examinations in the county is S1.006.
The figure is believed to be one OF
the lowest in the state, Des Moines
county to the north, found that the
cost of examination there was $1.W for
each subject.
The local board made every effort
to keep the amount down to mini
mum and was apparently successful.
1t is considered improbable that any
of the boards in any other county in
the state can show lower figure.
The costs itemized are as follows:
Chairman, s224; clerk, $276; phys
ician, $50; for clerks, s4o3.50; office
rent, $3.50; supplies and printing,
