sistance in combating the disease.
They were informed at that time, how
ever, that the budget for the year had
been made up. and It was impossible
for the city to assume any new obli-
cations.
In the meantime the disease secured
foothold here. and when it was seen
that the city was in the throes Of an
epidemic. the Public Health Commit
tee OF the State Council Of Defense,
Charles Topkis, chairman. with State
Health Commissioner Wells assumed
charge Of the situation.
Although the local Board OF Health
incurred but a small amount OF the
total amount expended II Is felt by the
body that the city should care for It's
citizens who are stricken In plague
and at yesterdays meeting II was stated
that the bills should be paid
II was decided TO have James J. Cahill,
secretary Of the board, address a COM
munication 10 Council on this subject,
che letter being forwarded today. This
reads In part as follows:
AT a regular meeting Of the Board
OF Health / was instructed as secretary
OF the said board TO communicate with
your honorable body relative 10 the
bills contracted during the recent cpl
demio Of Spanish influenza. These bills
approximate about $4,000 and so far,
have remained unpaid.
while this board contracted but a
small amount OF the total in caring for
the citizens who were afflicted, we feel
~ faa - ssIs
services furnished by a number Of our
leading citizens. the total amount nee
essay in combating the disease would
have been 100000.
Feeling that those who furnished
supplies and materials required at the
various emersenoy hospitals should be
reimbursed and as those who furnished
said supplies and materials have, at va
rious times, presented their bills 10 us
for payment, we feel that something
should be done In the matter.
"Up to the present time we have been
unable to learn how these bills were to
be paid or by whom, although we have
made repeated efforts TO ascertain this
information.
1T is the opinion Of the board that
these expenses should be borne by the
ets1 anu tHot thp uiila -chOulu 10 pdlu
at once.
Another matter considered at the
meeting Of the board yesterday was that
Of having the Street and Sewer Depart
ment flush the streets. Il was stated
that at the present time there are many
fllthy streets in the city and the depart
ment will be requested 10 use the street
flushers on East Third street, Lombard
street and East Second streets at least
II was also decided at this meeting 30
call the attention Of Attorney-G General
Reinhardt TO the case OF Joseph turks
dene. Of No. 3ii Queen street. who, 10
Is alleged. treated a child that was
burned, with a salve he makes. Il was
said that the child died from the burns,
and that Jurksdene. who does not hold

was censured by the Coroner's jury
