 In anticipation ot the discussion at the council meeting Of next We'd nesday night over the amount of hts bill for the last year for current eX- penses, Health Officer j. l. Woisard replied to criticisms of his accounts this morning. The health officer presented his bills at the last Coun- cil meeting and the city board con- sidered the amounts rather high so that the claims committee and Cor poration Counsel William \. De- rosier were assigned to look into the matters.
 The health officer explained his case thls morning, saying that in stead of granting him an increase of $5O0 dollars in salary. the salary committee of the, city council early this year told hinl to put that amount in on his eX )ense account at the end of the year.
 The expense bill, over which there has been great agitation, amounted to s1,444.32 of which SLIGO was for clerical work. The bill was sent to City Clerk Thomas B. Steele, who found that the amount Of the bill exceeded the health officers expense appropriation.
 Health Officer Woisard stated this morning that he did not consider the bill an unreasonable one but said that he did not think that the salary committee took the right method 10 grant salary increases. Early this year after his salary had been fixed at s1,200, he told the salary com mittee that he could not accept the position for that salary and asked that it he made s1.S00. The salary committee, according to Dr. Woisard told him to put in an extra $500 in his expense account at the end of the year, which he accordingly did. He said that this made his salary s1,700 but that he did not stand out for the extra sl00 which he asked for. The presentment of the bill before the city council has again aroused the Bristol branch of the Bristol Medical Liberty league, which has been opposing Dr. Woisard since his compulsory vaccination order for school children was passed.
