Report Of city attorney on claim

/ Gentlemen:
Al the last meeting of
! your body YOU referred to me the
/ claim of w. II Lucia against the town
of Vaughn, for my opinion as to the
liability of the city for the claim.
\ gather from the claim filed by Mr..
( Lucia that the same is for certain
goods furnished to Mr.. II. Poole by
! Mr. Lucia in 1915, pursuant TO an
! order given 10y DR.. Gronfeldt therefor,
| he being at the time health officer
/ of the town, audthe home OF Mr.. Poole
/ being under quarantine at the time
I by reason of small pOX.
! II DR.. Cironteldt, as health officer,
\ had the authority to give an order
\ for furnishing these goods and max
\ ing the town of Vaughn liable there
4 for, it might be that the city of Hur-
4 ley, being practically the successor of
\ the town of Vaughn, should pay the
\ claim, but fail to find any authority
/ in the statutes giving health officers
any power to order goods to be de-
/ livered at the house of person under
\ quarantine and have the same charg-
B ala : itk,f ~ IN t,n t,.tt
! a person may have some disease at
J his home making it necessary to
/ quarantine the house does rot render
/ the town or city liable for the sup
port of such person by reason of the
! house being quarantined. Further
! than this | believe that the town of
Vaughn disalloWed the claim of Mr.
| Lucia.
L nder the circumstances | am of
4 the opinion that the cityisinno MANN
Ell liable TO pay the claim.
Respectfully submitted,
Geo. &. Foster, City Attorney.
