But the alder men looked wearily at the quarantine resolution, thought of the hot weath- CT and said, "oh whats the usef.

NO CITY QUARANTINE.
ReEiatratIOn at Depot Abandoned and
 Mir. Mcintyre is Satlsfed

For the nTBI tune III NWO WSShSf Montgomery yesterday had no city quarantine For the first time in two weeks incoming passengers were asked no questions at the city's gates.
 In accordance with the action of the City Council, the union passenger sta ton quarantine was taken off. The action of the Council relieved the tOur quarantine officers as municipal officers. The four quarantine officers who passed out with this action of the Council were George Stuart, Albert billiard. Berto Fl. Johnson and Charles Kenneworth.
 It is regarded as extremely imofob- able that there will be any sort of q city quarantine. Acting Mayor Mcln- tyre is known to be of the opinion that no municipal quarantine is needed. He thinks that the various relay camps. the transfer of passengers and the State quarantine are all together suffi- cient to protect the city. He does ot think that the security of the city can be increased by any sort of a munich pal quarantine.

 The white birth rate is 17.14 and the death rate 1929.
