"The Rcrised Atlanta Regulations are

sippi Board, that a case, on localized
case of yellow fever in a city, said case
or cases being in complete Isolation and
in charge of the Health Authorities,
would not be sufficient cause for alarm
or quarantining the city, bat that the
health and lives Of the people may be
protected they must have, through their
constituted health authorities, prompt
and full information relative to the
health of the city, and with this infor-
nation, this Board will be prepared to
act in such a way as to protect the
State, and ut the same time not unneces-
sarily obstruct commerce.
