  1. Private Acts of 1921, Chapter 462, created the office of county physician, to be elected by the County Court for a four year term and to be paid $75 per month for his services. This was repealed by Chapter 542 of the Private Acts of 1933.
  2. Private Acts of 1927, Chapter 766, stated that the County Physicians of all counties, with a population of not more than 17,410 nor less than 17,400 inhabitants according to the Federal Census of 1920, were to inspect ice manufacturers monthly for sanitary conditions.
  3. Acts of 1931 (2nd Ex. Sess.), Chapter 33, provided that a successor to the then current Marion County physician should be elected at the regular July term of the County Court in 1932 and every four years thereafter. This Act was amendatory to the original county physician act (Chapter 462 of 1921) listed above.
