above quoted; and such agreement is material
only as evidence that at the time of entering
the service of such commission the subscriber
was aware of the rules and regulations then

twenty-one years who resides in any place
within this Commonwealth for five consecutive
years and within that time pays all state,
county, city or town taxes duly assessed on
his poll or estate for any three years within

within such period.

Contagious Diseases- Quarantine
Temporary Aid to Unsettled
Paupers Cities and Towns
Board of Health Overseers of
the Poor

137

If the family of an unsettled person suffering
from contagious disease dangerous to the public
health, but not quarantined, is aided for the
reason that such family are unable to maintain
themselves, and are, therefore, a charge to the
city or town where they are domiciled, such
aid should be rendered by the overseers of the
poor under the provisions of R. L., c. 81, § 21,
the temporary aid law, so called, and subject
to the restrictions therein contained.

If the board of health of such city or town
expends money for the support of the family
of a person infected with a contagious disease,
and therefore quarantined with his family, such
expense is incurred for the preservation of the
public health, and cannot be recovered either
from the city or town where such persons are
settled, or from the Commonwealth if such
persons have no settlement.

In neither of the above cases does aid so
rendered pauperize the persons aided.

PAUPER- Continued.

State Pauper-Aid rendered in
Place of Settlement of Wife -
City or Town Reimbursement
by Commonwealth Notice 145
Where a town seeks reimbursement under
the provision of R. L., c. 85, § 16, that "if a
state pauper has a wife who is also a pauper
having a legal settlement in the commonwealth,
he shall be supported by the place where his
wife has her settlement, and the common-
wealth upon written notice to the state board
of charity within sixty days after aid is first
given to him shall reimburse such place," such
town must show that notice was given strictly in
accordance with the terms of the provision for
reimbursement; and a town is not entitled to
be reimbursed for expenses incurred for a period
of sixty days prior to the date of notice, when
more than sixty days have elapsed since aid
was first rendered.
