The report that smallpox is at Lamy
If true, should be attended to by tn
county commissioners at once. Will,
there is yet time the commissioner
should have those affected with tn,
disease at Lamy q%uarantined. Tn
mayor should have the city prisoner
clean out the Water street sewer an,
have lime put in the acequia to dislnfec
it. If there are no prisoners in the cit.
jail the mayor can doubtless arrang
with the sheriff to have the count,
prisoners clean out the sewer. Thes
are serious times, If reports from out
side are true, and those whose duty |
is to attend to the city's welfare shoul,
do so at once and prevent any possibl
epidemic.
