was decided take measures to close the parochal
school connected with the Church OF the Immacu-
late Conception owing to the prevalence Of dph-
iberia among children attending that school or OF
those whose brothers or sisters pupils therein.
There being reason TO believe that the authority
of the Board TO take such action would be ques
toned. Health Inspector Leighton was directed TO
confer with the chairman of the Police Committee
of the Town Council, and secure such assistance

While a course Of procedure was not definitely
decided on, it tacitly agreed that the police
would be called upon to prevent any children from

to-night's meeting, was he represented. IL was
brought out during the discussion that two
former occasions public schools had been closed
on account of much smaller epldemics than the one
now existing.
the parochial school unless the other schools are
closed The statements OF the Board OF Health are
disputed by Father Mendl who says that three OF
the cases that resulted fatally were not caused by
dphtheria but by membraneous Group. while two
others attended the Maple-ave. and Chestnut-s
public schools In his letter he says:
The parochial school In Munn-st is struct-
ure and we'll ventilated. and to have the children
put out OF school by closing II and TO allow them
