POWERS OF HEALTH BOARDS
u . . .,,.. , ,, .. ,,
Supervisor Protest AsxnlnM tlie Inir-
ilen lnt Upon County
for KpMomlo.l
"Tllc Powers of local hoards of health In
tho matter of Incurring oxpenso should bo
materially curtailed by leglslativo
act,
was tho opinion expressed yesterday by
Colonel W. F. Baker, member of tho Board
of County Supervisors.
Colonel Baker Is a member of tho spe
cial commlttco appointed by the county
board to Investigate and pass on all claims
and bills Incurred In connection with the
core of smallpox pa'tlcnts. The bills so
far presented to tho board lndlcato that
tho expense of caring for smallpox cases
throughout tho county, especially In Coutii
ell Bluffs, will bo largo this winter. In
the opinion of the commlttco of which
Colonel Baker is a mqmber. provisions and
other supplies aro furnished to families
who ought to bo ablo to pay for tholr own
keep whllo quarantined.
Investigation by tho committee develops
tho fact that tho moment members of n
family aro placed under quarantlno for
smallpox they becomo practically charges
on tho county and thoy mako demands
for nil kinds of supplies, claiming that
they have absolutely nothing In tho houso.
In vlow of tho fact that In the city there
aro at present nearly 100 cases of small
pox, providing for them nil will provo a
heavy burden on tho county.
Not onty do persons quarantined for
smallpox demand that thoy be furnished
with all living necessaries, but they also
Insist that tho authorities provide feed for
whatever stock ,they may own. Ono note
worthy caso In this latter respect waa
called to tho attention of tho committee
yesterday. It was that of a man who with
his family was quarantined a 'few day3
ago. Ho owns flvo horses and yesterday
morning ho called up Deputy City Marshal
White, who has charge of such mattors,
and urged that hay nnd corn for tho ani
mals bo furnished at onco, othorwlso thoy
would starve to death. He claimed to be
unable to provide feed for tho borsos him
self while shut up in his hourc under quar
antine It was estimated that It would
cost $100 to feed the animals during tho
period of quarantine. City Marshal Albro
declined to order food for tho horses and
so notified tho owner, who answered that
If tho animals died from starvation ho
would surely sue tho county for damages,
Colonel Baker was unable to decide whether
the county waa liable In such a matter,
nnd will bring tho question boforo thn
county board at Its meeting In April.
The committee is Investigating tho finan
cial standing of evory family undor small
pox quarantlno with n vlow to refusing .
all bills for supplies furnished those which
are found to be able to support thomselven.
Regarding his statement that tho powers
of local boards of health as to Incurring
expense should be. curtnlled, Cnlonol Bakor
said he was of the opinion that the law
should bo so amended as to placo this power
In the county board. Under the law local
boards of health havo unlimited authority
to in:ur whatever oxpenso thoy deem nec
essary ln the protection and safeguarding
of tha public health. Whllo casting no re
flection on tho Board of Health of Council
Bluffs fn tho matter of expenditure. Colonel
Baker cited a number of Instances In which
he believed township boards, of health might
havo exercised more discretion and economy
In such matters. Ono glaring lnstanco In
which It Is claimed that' tho township board
of health showed a lack of business acumen
is that of th olalin of Dr. Tobey against
tho county for $1,200 tor caring for small
pox, suit for which Is now pending' In tho
superior court.
In view or tho fact that the cost to tho
county for caring for smallpox cases this
winter will run up into the thousands of
dollars, Colonel Baker Is of tho opinion that
too much caution and discretion cannot bo
exercised by tho boards of health In In
curring expenses. ,
Several of tho county officials were froo In
their criticism yosterday of tho action of
the city Board of Health In permitting
twenty boarders at the RevereJ houso to
leave that place beforo it was placed under
quarantine Thursday. The tact that the
dlseaso is prevalent in evory section of tho
city, they contend,' Is duo to tho lax meth
ods adopted by the local authorities this

winter. Last winter, when tho disease
mado its appearance, no regulations wero
too strict to be enforced by tho health au
thorities, but this winter, the critics say,
tho local authorities despite the fact that
tho disease Is spreading dally, appear to
bo Indifferent as to tho enforcement of the
rules laid down by tho State Board of
Health.
Tho local Board of Health Is also se
verely criticised for not quarantining tho
Revere houso when a smallpox patient was
removed from there at the beginning of
January.

Judgo B. E. Aylesworth of the superior
court occupied the bench of tho district
court yesterday afternoon. This, extension
of his Jurisdiction was not through a leg
islative act, but by reason of tho sudden Ill
ness of Judgo Thornell.
Tho suit of Eugene Mclntyre to recover j
$100 wages alleged to bo duo him by
Oeorgo S. Ward ''was being tried before
Judgo Thornell and a Jury when the Judgo
was taken 111 shortly beforo the noon re
cess, and ho announced that ho would bo

suggested that Judgo Aylesworth of tho su
perior court bo permitted to tako his placo
on tho bench and this, was agreed upon by
both Bides. '
Tho plaintiff, a young lad, worked for
Ward, a farmer of this county, nnd claims
that tho ' latter owes him $100 In wages.
Ward, on the other hnnd, denies his lia
bility and claims that when young Mo
Intyro's parents died ho took him Into his
household as a member of' his family and
that whatever work ho did has boon fully
compensated by tho board, lodging nnd
clothing ho received whllo under his roof.
Many witnesses, including many of the
neighboring farmers to Ward, have been
