91. It shall be the duty of the local board of health to transmit to
the physician reporting any case of pulmonary or laryngeal tuberculosis
a printed report, after the manner and form to be prepared and author-
ized by the state board of health, naming such procedures and precau-
tions as in the opinion of the state board of health are necessary or
desirable to be taken on the premises of the said tuberculosis case, and
it shall be the duty of the state board of health to print and keep on
hand a sufficient number of such report blanks and to furnish the same
in sufficient number to any local board of health upon, due requisition
of the latter. Upon receipt of the blank report the physician shall fill,
sign and date the same and return to the local board of health without
delay; provided, that if the attending physician is unwilling or unable
to undertake the procedures and precautions specified he shall so state.
upon this report, and the duties herein prescribed shall then devolve
upon the local board of health. Upon receipt of this report the local
board of health shall carefully examine the same, and if satisfied that
the said attending physician shall have taken all necessary and desir-
able precautions to insure the safety of all persons living in the house
or apartments occupied by the consumptive, and to insure the safety
of the people of the State of Maryland, the said local board of health
shall issue an order on the state board of health in favor of the attend-
ing physician for the sum of one dollar and fifty cents, to be paid by the
state board of health out of a fund hereinafter provided. If the pre-
cautions taken by the attending physician are, in the opinion of the
local board of health, not such as will remove all reasonable danger or
probability of danger to the persons occupying the said house or apart-
ment, the local board of health shall return to the attending physician
the report blank with a letter specifying the additional precautions
which they shall require him to take; and the said attending physician
shall immediately take the additional precautions specified and shall
record and return the same on the original report blank to the local
board of health. It shall further be the duty of the local board of health
to transmit to the physician reporting any case of pulmonary or laryn-
geal tuberculosis a printed requisition, from which shall be prepared
by the state board of health and issued in sufficient number to any
local board of health upon due requisition of the latter. Upon this
