At Leeds it was stated that one miblic vaccinator ' had saddled the ratepayers with fees for vaccinating his own wife, his daughter, and his intended son in-law —a proceeding which the Chairman of the Guardians stigmatised as highly improper, though it may be parfectly legal. In the Garstang Union, Lancashire, the ratepayers have actually been called upon 1o p:iy a public vacoinator a fee of 9s Grl each for the revaccination of the officers and Coys, over 100 in number, of the Bleasdale Reformatory.
