that disease TO exist in this
city. Health Commissioner Francis has
recommended to the board of health that
the quarantine regulations be modified so as
to allow all Ohio river boats and all passen-
gers, whether by river or rail. who are not

tention at quarantine All steamers from
infected cities or districts however, will be
held at quarantine for disinfection and
fumigation. The board will no doubt ac-
cept the recommendation at its next meet
ing.
