The act above referred to is for the relief of sick, disabled and needy ex-soldiers, sailors and marines of the Spanish-American war. The prosecuting attorney, judge of probate, county clerk and county treasurer, are constituted a county relief board for the purpose of ascertaining the necessity of extending relief to any sick, disabled or needy ex-soldier or sailor, and make arrangements for it. It even goes so far that t authorizes the board to authorize the payment of any sum which the ex-soldier or sailor may have been compelled to expend for his support, medical aid, care or maintenance before the passage of the act.
