CITY HAS A Gar

StOrrs.
WILL SUPPRESS NEWS.
People Haven't Right to Know
About Contagious Diseases.
WILL SUPPRESS NEWS.
Refuses to Occupy His Office at
City Hall.

A new policy has been adopted by
City Physician W. D. Storrs who took
Office today, succeeding Corban E. Judd.
DR.. Storrs will suppress all information
about contag ious diseases, he says. No
reports viii be given to the newspapers
or the public concerning the existence
of contagious diseases and if there is
an epidemic of smallpox or diphtheria,
it will be carefully concealed.
DR. Storrs' first official act was to is
sue an order to Sanitary Sergeant c. L.
Vanderpool who keeps the records of
the health department, and to whom all
cases Of contagious diseases are report
ed, that in the future he shall make
public no information to the newspa-
pers,. This is the first time in the his
tory of the health department that such
an order has been given.
City Physician Storrs was asked To-
day whether it is his intention to sup
press information about contagious dis
eases.
THAT is my intention" he said. ct
is matter which is of no concern to
the public. I don't think it is neces-
sary that we should put everything Of
that sort into the newspapers. won't
run to the newspapers with things.

"Win you keep the records at your
private Officer"
NO, they will be kept at the city hall,
but guess I can remember enough of
them to answer the purpose"
Are not the records of your office
public property, and open to the inspec-
ton Of the public, including the news
papers?'
well, I'm it now. and I guess this
order will stick for a While. until you
can find some way to get around it,"
As a result Of this system which DR..
Storrs has inaugurated, it is impossible
to report in today's paper, as has been
the custom, the existence of new cases
of disease. The public win have to get
busy and guess as TO whether or not
it is safe for their children to attend
school, or whether an epidemic exists
in any part of town which warrants spe-
ciaI precaution on their part.
