FARM AND NOTES: TAXPAYERS PAY THE BILL. finder the new health law we under­ stand the1salary list for this new board will ^ reach nearly $10,000 in this county. According to official fig­ ures $5,5Q0 Was the cost to county un­ der the old law, which included $25 salaries for the clerks of the boards and sanitary policemen. Another feature of -the new law is that the new board can create such debts as it deems best and then certifies the amount over to the commissioners or township trustees, as the case may be and it is mandatory for these officiate to issue bonds to meet the bill. No need to worry as the taxpayer must foot the hill for ninety-nine cents of every dollar of tide $10,000 salary grab goes into the pockets of the medical fraternity. The so-called evils of classification of property, for taxation were mild as compared-to this law which was forced through the legislature by the Ohio Medical Association or its agents or lobbists. A dispatch yesterday states that hundreds of townships and a number of counties Cannot comply with the provisions of this law and Gov. Cox has called thb state health advisory hoard,to meet and draft amendments to he presented to the legislaUtre a t the opening session in December. Ib S. THANKSGIVING ENTERTAINMENT.
