Grip In Check, Says Copeland

• “But Influenza’s New Cases Jump to 4,217 and Deaths to 222 in a Day”• Each district will have a representative in charge of all the agencies operating in that district• Overcrowding of streetcars was discussed again; the afternoon staggering works well but everyone does not follow the morning schedule; dry sweeping is also still a problem, a new ordinance will make that a misdemeanor. Spitting on subway cars is also a misdemeanor as well. Copeland is backed by the District Attorney Swann on this• All New York Policemen must wear masks when sleeping in police dormitories• Dr. Copeland: “I heartily favor every woman wearing a heavy chiffon veil all the time she s on the street. It may become necessary to order everyone in New York to adopt this measure. These veils are rather thick and would serve as an almost absolute preventive. Let’s forget style and stop this epidemic.”Newspaper article1
