a Man who Thinks tho Quarantine
Ought 20 be,Lifted at Once.
To the Editor OF the IntellIgencer.
sIR:-As the writer has heard moth
ing but words Of censure from our peo-
pie concerning Martins Ferry, and Us
your columns seem to be always open
to the adherents of both sides OF any
question, permit your subscriber, who
Is citizen OF Wheeling. to say a few
words on the other side.
In the first place the fact that Mar
tins Ferry has any smallpox at oil at
this time is due to our negligence last
summer; so common fairness would
say. let us deal Justly with them who
are re0plRg n harvest from seed sown
by ourselves. The city named should
be entitled to the same generous treat
ment as that accorded Bridgeport, for
the following reasons:
on the day the quarantine went into
effect the latter place had about fif-
teen cases in the various stages. while
Martins Ferry had in the neIghbor-
hood OF forty-seYen. At this writing
the plague has diminished In both
places In about the same ratio. TAX
ing the population OF each city into
consideration, the last named place is
in nearly the same place as the former.
Again, II the minElIng of persons en-
gagged In the various lines OF business
be considered fruitful source OF con-
tagIon. then we fear we arc In more
danger from bridgeport thun from Mar
tins Ferry. as we understand that up
wards OF nineteen persons are engaged
In hauling coal from and via Bridge
port to our city, while not n single load
Is obtained from Martins Ferry. Fur
thernore Bridgeport furnishes us with
large quantities OF milk, Ice and meat,
but so far as the writer has been able
to learn, Eothing OF this kind is recciv-
cd from Martins Ferry.
Also, more people come from Bridge
port and it's surroundings to our city to
buy their supplies than the other place
furnishes: so II the comparisons are not
oyerdrawn. which the writer has tried
not to do Martins Ferry Is the least to
be dreaded and should have immediate
entrance to our gates, The charge that
they handled the first cases careiessiy
Is OF no force at this time, Us nothing
is being left undone that Will In any
way conserve the public safety. Trust
Ing our health board may extend the
satae leniency toward our sister city
TINT they have kindly shown towards
Bridgeport, remain,
Yours respectfully,
Wheeling, Jan. q u.
