' That Portland will soon be compelled
. to erect an emergency hospital and iso
latlon ward for cases of communicable
dllMMa was tlie opinion expressed
' Around the city hall this morning after
' the' aemi-anminl report of City Health
Officer Dr Ksthcr l Polil was sent to
"Mayor lane. The opinion wm fnrther
. strengthened bj an opinion by City At
torney John P, Kavanaugh, to the effect
5 that the city la responsible for the care
of Indigent "persona placed under quar-
r sntlne.
Dr. Pohl's renort shows clearly that
the" appropriations allotted to the health
; Cepartment are Inadequate to provide
, for every Indigent caae of communicable
.', ciifease wnpre u nnuiia ia ...... j
. n maintain, ana. ruriutw, ma wi
hospitals cannot take cara of the city
caae. .
Outside Halp XTeoessary,
Tbe Aaaoclated Charities and the Jew
ish Benevolent aoclety have neipea out
; the department In some of the dlph-
t her la cases, but many of them have
been maintained by the health depart-
ment while In quarantine.
. . The pesthouse haa been maintained
..continuously and the maximum salary
j of flOO a month has been paid since the
first -of the year. In addition an as
sistant has been necessary at times.
(while indigent families have been main
i talned -while In Quarantine.
Dr. Pohl states Jn her report that a
! aueatlon has been raised as to the
1 legality of the city paying for these
J people, but City Attorney Kavanaughs
opinion, which was filed with the city
auditor today, setues mat question ana
the olty will either have to provide ad
ditional funds for the health depart-
ment or erect a hospital of lta own.
' .Hospital Declines Olty Oases.
Already the Good Samaritan hospital
haa advised the health department that
It dooa not care to take any more city
caseaand Dr. Pohl points out mat if
St. Vincent's hoRDltal nhoiild do the
, same the city would be In a deploble
.conomon. in aaauion to tnowe general
I statements. Dr. Pohl states In her re-port:
present there Is not a hospital
in Portland where a patient with tuner-
"At

ium tremens for want of better (mar

Ilr Pnhl Alan nnfntft nut that in ad'
dltlon to the tubercular nnd smallpox
caacs th city health department has
been not to a treat although necessary
expense in taxing cultures in aipniimri
cases. To prevent the spread of the
disease. It has been necesaary to remove
children from their homes to ine san
itarium where thev are maintained "out
of the very scant fund appropriated for
the exigencies of this department."
Olty Za Xdable,
After quoting the local ordinanoes on
the subject of quarantine City Attorney
Kavanaugh quotes from an act passed
by the legislature In 1907. as follows:
"When a house or other place Is
quarantined on account of contagious
diseases. It shall be the duty of tbe
board of. health having Jurisdiction to
Drovide for all oersous confined in such
place, food, fuel, and all of the necee
sarles of life, including medical at
tenrianoa meri IHnea. nurses, when nee
esaary; and the expenses so Incurred
when properly certified by the execu
tive officer of such board shall be paid
bv the person or .persons quaranunea.
w'hen able to make Mich payment men
lln,l If not utile to DRV. to be paid
by the county or municipality in wnicn
lie ur nicy wem yuiwoiiviucu.
Health Board Must Act.
Continuing, Mr. Kavanaugh says:
This act by Its terms applies to all
munlclpalltlea In the atate, and If valla.
cleArly authorises the board to make
neceasarr exDendltures. where the per
sons quarantined are unabla to pay.
There might be a question arise a to
whether the legislature had authority
to paas an act requiring the city or
Portland to pay auch charges in view of
the constitutional amendment adopted
In 4906, withdrawing from the legisla
ture the power to enact amend or re
peal municipal charters. But however
that may be, I am of the opinion that
the health board has adequate author
ity to provide necessaries In a proper
case Independent of the legislative
aot." t

with the platform of the JJamooiwtlo
party, Jnst as he always Is."
