from the disease were reported yester-
day Among the new cases is that of
physician who came here from the
outside to aid. He is the sixth physi-
clan to be stricken.
A report of subcommittee made
yesterday to the executive committee
on the situation shows that the total
number of fever cases to date is 1,1s6
and the total number of deaths result
ing from typhoid, thirty-three. The
members of the committee stated that
they had been warned by the State
Board of Health to prepare for a
struggle of from six weeks to three
months with the epidemic. A fund of
at least $4,000 and perhaps twice that
amount, they estimate. would be neces-
sary. Secretary Broadhead was in
structed by the committee to send for
twenty more nurses.
