The city council took steps Monday to close school and churches and all public
gatherings until the epidemic of Spanish Influenza, of which there are more than
fifty cases, has been stamped out.
Extra police were put on to enforce the order. Loafing around the streets will
not be allowed, neither will gathering of children.
Everyone is asked to co-operate with the authorities in an effort to rid the
community of this disease which has cause so many deaths in the army camps and
in cities to the south of us.
