Linn County Rejects Care Responsibility in State Hospital Case
Linn County supervisors Tuesday refused to accept care responsibility referred by Pottawattamie County in connection with the commitment of a man Council Bluffs officials say is a Linn County resident to the Clarinda State Hospital. The case stems from actions by Pottawattamie County insanity commissioners on September 9 and a Linn County welfare investigation noting two years in California and a return to Cedar Rapids in August 1939 with another departure last March. The board agreed to a compromise of 35.35 dollars for costs of a Linn County man at Oakdale Sanatorium from 1928 to early 1929, while the total claimed by the family was 35,349 dollars, now barred by statute of limitations.
