SCARLET FEVER REPORTS
Since there have been few cases of
scarlet fever in the city, Health Officer
Rowland has had placards printed for
posting on houses where the disease is
known to exist, and he requests all who
have knowledge of such to report at
the health office. Also any cases OF
measles, whoOping-cough, or other con-
tagious disease should be reported at
once, that there may be no danger of
its spreading to other children through
the medium of the public schools. Or.
Rowland recommends that parents fur
nish their children with individual
drinking cups for use at school, as con-
tagious diseases are often communi-
Gated through drinking cups used in
common with those already affected,
even though the affection does not
yet show itself.
STREET WORK
There seems to bs much uncertainty
in the minds of the property owners on
North Fair Oaks as to just where they
stand in the matter of the recent settle
ment for the street work on that thor
oughfare, or rather, as some of them
now view it, the partial settlement
effected. Most of them seem to have
understood that the compromise ar
rangement, effected through the Offices
OF Attorney Metcalfe, applied to all the
property owners concerned, while now
they find that apparently only those
who Joined in the appeal are to receive
the benefits of the rebate, while the
others are to pay the same as ever.
Notice was given before the matter WAS
brought up before the council inviting
all property owners along the line of
the work to join in the appeal, and now
1t Is doubtful whether anything can be
done for those who did not so Join.
There were twenty-eight who joined in
the appeal Mr.. Lockett, the receiver
for the contractors. is proceeding upon
the basis of collecti lg the full original
amount from all who did n not join in
the appeal, but the matter will be
brought up in the council tomorrow to
see whether anything further can be
done.

The attendance at the weekly hop at
the Hotel Green last evening was not as
large as usual. owing to the fact that

function few days before. Those
present last night enjoyed themselves,
nevertheless.
