To Carry Flu Facts To All

The Health Office is optimistic about the quarantine campaign and the decrease in thenumber of cases. 613 new cases of flu and pneumonia were reported yesterday and 24 deaths. The Council putaside for a week Councilman Mallard's flu ordinance proposition that 'all places of business, except grocerystores, meat markets and other places where actual necessities of life are sold, be closed indefinitely.' Thequarantine campaign and placing of placards is now under way and the system is being rigidly enforced. Dr.Powers believes that this will have a positive effect in controlling the spread of the disease. 'Members of theBoard of Public Service Commissioners decided yesterday that all employees who have been with the publicservice department for six months or longer, and who have been incapacitated by influenza or pneumonia, shallbe paid 75 per cent of their regular salaries for the first two weeks of their illness, and 50 per cent for thefollowing weeks, up to four weeks.'Newspaper article
