SAN MIGUEL

A test east involving the vital
powers of the state department OF
health, under the act passed by the
fourth legislature, creating the de-
partment and defining its powers
and authority, has been filed in the
district court of San Miguel county,
before Judge David J. Leahy.
One of the sections of the law
provides that all county health of
ficers are to be appointed by the
board of county commissioners, in
the several counties, with the ap-
proval of the state health depart
ment, The San Miguel county
board of commissioners appointed
DR.. G. N. Fleming. which appoint
ment was d~isapproved, with the re
quest that another be appointed in
stead of DR., Fleming. The county
commissioners declined to appoint
another officer.
Another section OF the law pro-
vides that in ease of emergency or
in case necessary work is not be-
inc performed BY the county health
officer that the department Of
health may cause the necessary
work to be done at the expense of
the county. The contention Of the
state board is that under this pro-
vision il is clothed with authority
TO appoint an officer TO perform the
duties of county health officers and
presented a hill of 500 a month to
the commissioners REQUESTING paw
ment. Acting under the advise of
the district attorney, who cave an
o"pinion to the effect that the State
Board had no authority to fiji ?
vacancy in the position of health
officer. the county commissioner
refused TO pay the bill. The attor-
new general supports the attitude
taken by the state hoard and is
prosecuting the appeal from the ac-
ton of the county commissioner -
