JOHN P. WALL NJ D., President.
Attest D. Posi-, Secretary,
The circular says: "ln explanation of
the foregoing stringent rules, it is nee essary
TO say that the board of health Of Hills
boro county believes Plant City to be in
fected with the poison or germs OF yellow
fever, aud inasmuch us expensive efforts to
disinfect the place and stamp out the disease
have failed, it is due to the public safety
and welfare of the state TO isolate the place
and have it stunned as an infected place
until such time as the board of health may
deem 1t safe for people TO so there. 1t is
deemed absolutely necessary to suspend
all business and cut of all com
municatons with Plant City
to prevent the risk of n widespread epidemic
of yellow fever this summer 1t is true
that there is not much sickness there and
happily, the large majority ofthe residents
Of the place are acclnased 81 y but
there is danger of the disease being spread
10y persons visiting the plaza. = L very
body IS especially cautioned from being de-
ceivcd by assertions Of tho disease being
anything else but what the board of health
has honestly pronounced 1t, yellow fever.
The selection Of the Amber lot, corner Of
/ i 4
OF the public building, causes dissatisfac-
ton. Efforts have boo made 10 have the
bids reopened, but IN vain, and hencs the
growing.
