NEVADA CITY. “VOCAL ITEMS. ‘The County Hospital and the Con“As wpreat deal ig bein’ ‘said sbout the Hospital, how it is conducted, and concerning the letting of the late contract, we give place to-day to a communication written by . J one of the patients, which speaks for itself, _ algo the Grand-Jary Report“in full. Wey i, ~ On next Tuesday poon and eveliving wondénd, sininély : the glint an ess, Miss Anna Swan, is 20 years of age, 8 feet'and 1 inch in hight and weighs 418 pounds. She is said to be liandsome and well proportioned. Mons propose, in this article, to give #—plain 7 then leave it to the people of the county to form their own conclusions, On Wedneskeeping of the patients, came up before the Board of Supervisors, and the following are the bids considered: Dr. Hunt offered to keep the patients for two_years, providing them with medical attendance, food, clothing,&e., the same as heretofore, for 70 cents per day. Dr. Davis’ bid reads as_follows : . ‘To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of ‘Nevada County—-Sirs: The undersigned, a practicing physician of said county, hereby offers to take charge of the Nevada County . Hospital, treat the indigent sick, furnish all supplies of food, medicine, etc., as at present arranged, for the sum of sixty-seven ents per day for each patient for the term of one year or two-years, and forthe. faithful performance of such duties, will give good and sufficientsecurity. Respectfully, Henry Davis.” After a full discussion of the. matter the contract was awarded to Dr. Hunt, Supervisor Hussey dissenting at the, time, but refused to have it so appear. upon the records, The Grand Jury being in session; Dr. H. Dayis was appointed Chairman of the Hospital Committee, and the report will be found in another column of +0-day’s Transcript. The Supervisors,one at atime, were examined before the Grand Jury, t6 give. their reasons for awarding the contract to Dr. Hunt. Mr. “Monro stated that he believed it was the best bid for the county, and further, that the Board learned from good authority that Dr. H. [ Davis HAD NO DIPLOMA, and was not a graduste of any college of medicine. .Dr. H. Davis came to his feet very promptly, and replied that Dr. Hunt had nodiploma when he first took the contract for keeping the county. patients, ind (of course Dr. Davis knows whereof he speaks) Hz (Davis)BEING A MemMBer or THE Boarp or SUPERVISORS THAT GAVE THE Freer conTRacr TO. Dr. Huwnz, accordingly, by his own admission, violating a plain law. Monro replied that he was not.answerable for what happened then, not being on the Board at that time. Dr. Davis did not state whether he held a diploma or ndt ;if he had. one, he would probably have so stated. “The following is the law bearing upon that point, and the manner of éniploying a physician : Sec. 3:° The Board of Supervi shall “employ such medical aid for the proper treatment and care of: the indigent sick, as may in their tbe required, and shall fix the compensation for the same. Sec, 4. Every physician employed’ by the Board of Su nb nerdy Naw pes gradupr eae some rpora “ medicine. “_ The law is perfectly clear, and eusceptibid of no doubtful construction. It does notrequire a contract to be let or bids to be taken. The Board, instead of receiving bids for the care.of the indigent sick, might have appointed @ physician and fixed his compensation, either at so much per day or in a specified snm..Mr. Newell, President of the Board, stated before the Grand Jury that he believed'the contract let was to the best interests of the county. City Matters. : The Board of Trustees met last evening to receive the reports of the several city offleers, and turn the business over to their successdrs in office. From the financial report submitted, we make up the following recapitalation of the several city funds as far as reperted : GENERAL FUND.

They will be at Temperance Hall. To Chewers and smokers. : We call attention ‘to the ‘advertisement of Julius Greenwald, to be found in today’s TRANSCRIPT; in which it will be seen that superior inducements are now offered to tobacco consumers, both in point of quality and prices. Mr. Greenwald has now added to his al ready extensive stock, a large invoice . of new and favorite brands of chewing and smoking tobacco, direct: from Chicago. It would take too much space to give’ all. the different varieties he has on hand;and we therefore refer our readers to his advertisement to be found elsewhere in our columns, simply adding, that Mr, G. 1s the largest ‘importer of tobacco, and pipes in the mountains, and can do better by his customers than any-other firm.

Smith, Gove and Fvote, of the Scott's Flat Saw Mill Company, announce today that they are prepared to supply all who: apply,.with building, mining and other kinds of lumber,at the lowest prices: Their mill is turning out froma 10,000 to 12,000 feet of lamber per day, and those in need of it may be ac commodated on application ,to the mill at Scott’s Flat, or at the lumber yard at the-head of Sacramento street in this city, Keep Cool. cae The warm.days are upon us, and a cool draught of water is very refreshing. ‘The Nevada and Mountain Lake Ice Company have an immense stock of ffozen water on_ hand, and are now and Nevada City in particdlar, in quantities to suit and on the most ressonable terms.
