 4 Lively Meeting. The special meeting yesterday was lively enough. It was evident that the business men of the city feel strongly upon this question and that some of them are exercised. not over the situation in Montgomery, but over the possibility of fresh introduction Of fever into Alabama from New Orleans. They were not concerned about the inn ported and isolated patient now conva- iescent at the Emergency Hospital. so much as they were in finding means that would keep out of Montgomery any other person who might bring fever in.
 It developed. too. that the city au- thorit.es and the municipal and county health officials did not believe that any further quarantine was necessary. They frankly took issue with the business men who wanted rigid quarantine put on by the city of Montgomery. They saw no reason to believe that Montgomery could put on any strong | CT or any better quarantine than the State of Alabama was at present con- ducting.
 l In presenting this side of the case Acting Mayor Mcintyre declared | There is only one perfect quarantine | To have 1t we must completely insu- late ourselves and ellow To one to come into the city. as Memphis pro- poses to do. I am sure that Mont l gomery does not want to do that. How can a municipal quarantine be strong CT than a State quarantine? The man | ,urk.n a into the city to a State quarantine officer | will swear to a lie to the city quaran- | tine officer.
 '"I may say. too MT. President" Mir Mcintyre added, that I have no ob- lection to the resolution under consid- eration, but If 1t Is adopted I shall do as I have in the past. seek the advice of the city and State health authorities and be largely guided by their recom- | mendations."

 The Council then went into the com
