REFUSE TO PAY
!. CITY FEES FOR
HEALTH REPORT
County Board Holds Claim
Until Money Due for Feed
ing Prisoners Is Paid
by the City.

The county board refuses to ap-
prove claims rendered by Health
Commissioner Manning for similar
services for which DR.. R. w. Con
nell was paid while he was health
commissioner and after he brought
a court action for payment of this
money to himself.
When DR.. Manning was appointed
health commissioner a year ago it
was understood that these fees
would be credited to the city's &C
count, instead of to the personal &C
count of the health commissioner
as had been done.
Pay for Reports.
Under the court ruling which was
given in favor of the former health
commissioner, the county was re-
CURED to pay Is cents for each birth
and death report sent by the health
commissioner to the State Board of
Health. The records show that
Health Commissioner Manning sent
these bills to the county board:
November, 1918, $460.75; January,
1919, $632.75: April "a, 1919, $430.25:
total, $l,52575. On July Is of last
year the county board allowed a
quarterly bill, part of which went to
DR.. Cornell and $l9425 to the health
department fund, but that was the
last allowance the county made
The formality of filing these bills
was all that the health department
has done, until few days ago when
the matter was called to their at
tention the city legal department
was asked to look into the situa-
ton and advise whether the CITY has
any recourse.
County Wastes Money.
When these fees were a matter
of personal remuneration to the for
mer health commissioner, the county
board paid the bills because the
health commissioner took the case to
court; now that it is matter of the
city getting the money. it seems to
be case of everybody's business
and nobody's business insofar as the
health department is concerned.
The only explanation the county
board will make is that bills from
the city will not be approved until
alleged debts owed by the city to
the county are first settled. These
debts are said to be for feeding pris-
oners in the county Jail and the
city's portion of the expenses of
three elections.
