NEW York, July 31.-Itis stated the
cholera is assuming an epidemic form
in this city to an alarming extent. At
a meeting of the health board to be
held this evening, extraordinary meas
ures will be proposed for improving the
sanitary condition of the city. In con-
sequence of the neglect of physicians
70 report cholera cases, orders have
been Issued insisting upon their so do
ing. The number of deaths in the city
for the past week was III, being a de-
crease of 592 from the previous week.
Sixteen persons died of cholera Mt the
work house, on Blackwell's Island,
from the 9th to the 10Th of July. There
were ID cases and four deaths officially
reported yesterday. A comparative la
bic of three years of the cholera cpl
deaths yesterday than on the same day
in 1919 and 1854.
AT the battery barracks hospital mat
ters appeared rather favorable. An
injunction will be applied for to COM
pei its removal. In Brooklyn the num-
Der of deaths for the past week was 3O4.
The epidemic has NOT increased but no
decrease is observable. There were AZ
deaths from cholera during the past
week. The official reports of yesterday
show ten new cases and four deaths; OF
these six were in the county peniten-
tiary. The unofficial list shows two
new cases at Governors Island. The
epidemic appears to be a mystery, as
the strictest sanitary precautions had
always been observed. AT present, ex-
ira vigilance is exercised, the men be-
ing fed with wholesome rations and the
barracks being kept in thorough state
of cleanliness. On Harris Island the
epidemic remains about the same as at
last report,
