Carroll, State's Attorney of McHenry County, concerning cost of patients being cared for at the County Hospital was presented and read to the Board, to-wft: February 19, 1941. Mr. Roy J. Stewart, Supervisor, Town of Dorr, Woodstock, Illinois. Dear Mr. Stewart: This is in reply to your inquiry concerning the liability of townships for medical and surgical aid furnished to paupers at the county hospital. In order to fully answer your question it is necessary to consider the authority of the county to maintain a hospital and also the obligations resting upon a township to support its poor. Ihe County Board of McHenry County has the power to erect and maintain a oounty poor house and other necessary buildings in connection therewith. It also has the power to appoint a county physician and prescribe his compensation and duties. (Chap. 107 Revised Statutes of Illinois) The power of the county to maintain an institution for the care of the poor carries with it the authority to furnish medical and surgical aid which is a part of the support. By an Act of the Legislature approved March 6, 1936, the various townships in counties under township organisation are required to relieve an& support all poor and indigent person^ lawfully residents within their respective territories, except as otherwise provided in the law. Your attention is called to an Act entitled, "An Act to provide for the establishment and maintenance of county poor houses In counties where the separate Bupport of paupers has been adopted." (Chap. 107 Revised Statutes of Illinois) This Act provides that the County, Board may, whenever it shall see flf so to do, establish and maintain a county poor house; that the County Board of such county, whenever any such poor house is establish^ may lix the. rate per day or week thai^acn town shall pay for the support and maintenance in such poor house for each of their respective paupers and further provides that each town in such county may then have its paupers supported in such poor house by paying such rate, or may provide for them otherwise as it shall deem best.' ,ro It would seem very evident from the provisions of the above cited law that it was intended that the various townships should pay for all support and maintenance furnished by the countv at the county poor house. Medical and surgical services are of course a part of the support and hence a township is obligated to pay the county for such support when given. There should be an agreement between the county and the several townships covering the compensation which is to be paid by such townships for medical and surgical services, but it is my opinion that in the absence of such an agreement, a township would be liable for the reasonable compensation for such services as might be determined. Support including medical and surgical aid which is furnished by the county to transient paupers, or in cases of emergency, could not legally be charged to any township and the expense thereof should be borne by the county. It is my opinion that an agreement should be entered into between the townships and the county under which 111.

He then informed the Board that he read a news Item concerning the sale of warrants In the City of Evanston, recently, and it stated that they were disposed of and sold for three quarters of one per cent Interest. Supr. Harrison stated that it was his belief that if some of the back taxes were collected it would not be necessary to issue tax anticipation warrants and that he felt that the interest rate was much too high atid that he was recently informed that a certain estate In this county, that had sufficient money on hand,'was delinquent in-its taxes in the amount of over $1700.00 and he did not believe that such conditions should be tolerated by this Board. After some further discussion, it was regularly moved by Supr. Kuecker and duly seconded by Supr. Turner that the resolution authorizing the Issuance of tax anticipation warrants be adopted by this Board, and that the Finance Committee and the County Treasurer be instructed to see if said warrants could be sold at A lower fate of interest than four per cent.

That we met on the 3rd day of March 1941 and went to Geneva, Illinois, to meet the road and bridge committee of Kane County, Illinois, to confer on two road projects of interest to the two counties. is.ast of Algonquin, Illinois on the Kane-McHenry County line road there is a gap in the concrete road of about 1^4 miles length that ought to be paveci at once, we lound out that the Slate of Illinois has surveyed this road and prepared the necessary plans, and we decided to urge its immediate construction by the state and the two road and bridge committees agreed to urge the respective counties to take the necessary steps to gat the right of way at.vnc* The other project is on the Hampshlre- Harmony road and the Kane county men agreed to recommend construction of the portion of the road in their county with asphalt surface. They would re-gravel the road and let the base compact before putting on the asphalt. McHenry County would need to do about one half mile of grading and secure land for a proper curve at a right angle turn and also gravel about one mile of road, and we agreed to recommend the building of the base this season and the building of the blacktop surface as soon as the base is properly compacted, and we instructed the County Superintendent of Highways to survey the road and prepare rignt of way plats as Boon as possible. We are recommending that the cost of said road be paid out of County road bunds.
