Opinion on Health Officers’ Expense.

' Thomas M. Honan, attorney-gen-eral, Saturday gave an opinion to Dr. 'J. N. Hurty, state health commissioner, in which he said a health ofi fleer is not permitted by law to charge expenses for driving his own horse and buggy or automobile while performing his duty. The expenses i allowed by statute to health officers are not to be Charged when the officer merely is giving general health instructions. It Is only in cases of ■ emergency when contagious diseases I are feared that the expense account becomes legal, the opinion said.
