THE GRAM JUiii hw s>l v iMtu ■* I Explanation of Small pox Cases ai the Ftirnace. Action of the Walker Iron and Coal in the Matter in' tho Years I&S2 and 1883. To the*WEKKl.v TIMI:S], liisiXu Fawm, Apiil 14.—1 see in lltt* issue nf April 9th a report of tlie General Presentments of the Grand •Jury of Dale Sipmior Court found ?tt tiie Mari'h. term of said c lilt. A particular paragraph*in second column reads as follows: “Aiter a tedious examination of the action of tlie Orninaiy in the payment of a certain account to the Walker Iron and Coal Company for expenses in small pox cases in the years 1882 and 1889 at Rising Fawn, we consider and believe that he has acted entirely contrary to law, in that said incorpor ated company elected to take charge of said small pox patients, and we further believe has subjected himself to severe censure, if nothing more.” This model Grand Jury of Dade county under oath begin inve tigation of all Lets coming to their knowledge, and find that a public official “has acted entirely contrary to law,” then instead of proceeding against him therefore as they had sworn to do, they say, “we further believe he has sub jected himself to severe censure, if nothing more.” This is a uery stiange Presentment for an inquisitorial body, such as the Giand Jury, to make in their report. Question, (which I hope the Grand Jury will answer). What is tire ob ject of courts and Grand Juries? Can violated law go unsnstaiued, and a transgressor escape with censure? Who is the person to execute the find ing <*f this High court of Inquisition? This report has gone to 1 lie public anil is lead and received as a tact, but there is another side to this report. “Baid incorporated company elected ft) take charge of said small-pox pa tients.” Incorporated company; in corporated for what? To care for small pox patients? No. To mine, imrnri facture and sell iron, iron ore, ?, al or e ike. Not one single sylnble in their charter that jnv/*k thorn tho or compels them to care for small-pox patients. I Suppose you mean that the same law docs apply to incorpor ated companies as to individuals, I believe that the Court of Ordinary grants Initial expenses when paupers if accounts are made out and presented in open court. This was the case :n four items mi the account of that in corporated company. Burial kxit.n BEB. 'Flic Ordinary allowed these “se vere censure, if nothing m re.” In June 1882 a case of small-pox devel oped at Rising Fawn. Quarantine was discussed, hut in tlie mean while the pitient was lying in a densely populated distiivt, and there was an hourly fear of increasing exposure, 'something must be done at once. No time to wait tiil a legal form could he coinj lyed wi. h. The p tient and nurses were started to a vacant house, hut when they came in sight this house was a smoking ruin; they were* ail re lumed to fanner quaiters while new preparations were being made for the 1 accomodation'of the case. This experience showed the falacv of trying the usual quarantine plan. The VYalkei Iron ami Coal Coni) any being engaged in work that required some organization, steped in and took the place of a Hoard of Health, not from choice but form neecsitv. The effort to stamp it out was successful. Again on November 19th the dis ease made its appearance in our midst aud from-this lima on, until] February Ist ISN3, it was with us all the tune Oil that day a negro matt wav di* Covered oil the railioid, tet ween Rising Fawn and the Furnace, broken out with small-pox. Going as he was it here he would expose others to con tagion; there was no time for legal quarantine, and, in fact, quarantine o--ti!d have done no good in tins case. We had the disease and was no longer afraid of its coining, but we did want t« prevents its spread and to this end as soon as * case was developed, it was placed in the In-use where,it deveh ped an * t ie inmates w re all vaccinated and tlun kept, there until the rate terminated. This last ca--e died. Mark you, here were two deaths of sinall-p<'X. and neither was an employee « I the Walker Iron and Coal Company. With re gard for public well la re, as well as per sona! and humane tesasous, no other course whs priciicalih. it w u>> UtiO Aii hS ii iiiCL t.iwv small- » m toe ootiniy, ami its offi cers had done nothing so lar, and the Walker Iron and Coal Company through its general manager, Mr. L. 8. Colvar, acted as only he could act in finalising such necessailes niuPcum forts to patients, Hint vho<e' if -dated nit account of exposure. Following this last case were six others in rapid suc cession with two othei deaths. About October last Mr Colynv ap peared in Court of Ordinary and pre sented an itemized account for pay ment foi supplies, nurses, guards and burial expenses of small-pox; testimo ny was taken under oath, and it was proven that the expenses of the wo.rk, if it had been done by tbe Ordinary, would not have been less the one thous and dollars, when my recolection is tho bill paid Mr. Colyar was less than six bundled. Those were actual cash prices, and when yon remember that items of this soit are usually allowed to run until the taxes of the year following the pre sentation of the account, then yo.t readily see that delay in j ayment ttsally causes increased puces, so that instead of being a tax on the county of one thousand it would have been ueai J , er two thousand dollars. I distinctly remember the part of Novetubet, December and January of that time, that one ore more members of this same economical Grand Jury would shun me as though 1 was a walking embed vimm? of pestilence. Then they weie desiiiotts of escuping small-pox at any cost, hut now Hint danger is past, courage has returned, and now the Ordinary “has subjected himself to severe censure, il nothing more.” Making tlire appeal to tax payers let them compare two thousand dollars quarantine against yellow in 1878 when there was not a single, casi; in the county, with six hundred dollars to stamp out small p,,x. “Joe Blown is aide to loose that much,” is frequently said, l'kirnw, but I do not whether it is a Grand Jury’s opinion or not, at any rale, it does not appear in their Frisoptinents. If it is the duty of the OrdiflWiy to look after the public health and take steps to prevent or stamp’out enidera ies and assume tho cost thereof, then what in the name of common sense can prevent him repaying such an outlay when tho duty is assumed 1 y another, whether by contract or common con sent, i; it is less thancouid be done by any o;hei means.
