VACCINATION FEES. Tho Local Government Board circular letter of the 27th September was read with respect. to the foes to bo paid in future to public vaccinators. Replies wero received from the public vaccina- tors under tho Board. Dr. T. L. Kenrick Davies, Llandudno, replied: "As I am not in favour of 'sweated' labour of any sort, I cannot accept these terms. Surely, your Board, in offering them, cannot be cogni- sant. of the labour entailed and time spent in performing tho operation of vaccination in ac- cordance with the requirements of the Local Government Board or of the status of the medical,, profession. Dr. R. Arthur Prichard, Conway, wrote: I must respectfully but nevertheless strongly pro- test against the reduction of the fees that are suggested, and would ask that tho Board should reconsider the matter. When they know that I have frequently gone for miles into t.he country more than once to one case, and found that the child was not fit for vaccination, and in some cases no successful vaccination in tho end takes placc, and for which no fees are provided, I consider that even the existing fees are at times inadequate for the duties entailed, as there are no fees at all for many fruitless journeys. Dr Morris, Old Colwyn, wrote: "When I know that the duties of a public vaccinator under the new regime entail at least six times the trouble it did under the old, I feel certain that the iruArdians hava not realised injustice, which they contemplate inflicting upon their vaccinating officials. However, I shall require to consult with my colleagues, and probably ask for an in- terview with the guardians." It was recommended that the clerk should pre- pare an account of the number of cases of suc- cassful vaccinations for the twelve months ended September. 1907. and the amounts paid to the public vacctnators in respect of such cases; that a special meeting of the committee be fixed to consider the question, after the clerk has pre- pnred the statement, and that a second meeting bo held, at which the doctors should be present to discuss the question of the fees with the committee; that the clerk again write to the Unions alreadv written to with regard to the fees. asking what they had finally agreed to pay their public vaccinators. An amendment was moved that the meeting, with the doctors, be held an hour after that of the committee, but. it was defoated. RATE COLLECTORSHIP. 'A letter was read from the Conway Corporation asking the guardians not to combine the rate coliectorship of Llanrhos with any parish outside thpir txx-ough, as it was their opinion that it would be to tha mutual advantage of the Council and guariia.ns that, at some future time, that tho poor-rate "olIeL-t.orship in the borough should be held by one and the same person. A letter was also read from the Local Govern- ment Board relative to the application by the Llandudno Urban District Council for an order under section 3J of the Local Government Board Act. 894, conferring oert-ain powers on them, and forwarding copy of letter which they had received from the Council, and stating that they proposed to issue an order, conferring on such Council the power to appoint and revoke the apoointment of assistant overseer. order will provide for the continuance in office of Mr Bellis, as assistant overseer, and the Board also (►•'op ise conferring on the Council tho powers of nvot-seers mentioned in Section 6 of the Act of 1894. It was also pointed out that the powers they propose to confer are amongst the powers of oversoers which are now exeroisable by the Parish Council of a rural parish, and that the transfer- ence of such to the Council will not affect tho powers a.nd duties of wverseers in respect of the making of the valuation lists.
