though the five boys and one girl had
been I'll two weeks.
THE six cases were reported as soon
as discovered" continued Mr.. Skinner.

slight attack that he was never very
sick.

cases 10 the Health Department"

Mr.. Skinner says he has no fear OF any

PLANTATION Of the delayed reports Of the
cases will be hailed with delight by the

This is the reply Of c. p. Hunt, EnRi-
neer Of Highways. to the request of Mrs

moved from the sidewalk in front Of 1861
