 The report of a yellow fever case in quarantine at the New Orleans quaran- tine station has given rise to some discus- sion in Montgomery over the yellow fever outlook during the present summer. Those who are acquainted with local conditions say that Montgomery was never so well equipped to cope with the fever, should it make it's appearance here, as 1t is this summer. but feel confident that there Is very little danger from that source. as ' been taken and the sanitary conditions of the city vastly improved.
 Mayor Teague says of the situation:
 'sAs far as Montgomery Is concerned, do not feel that there is the slightest cause for apprehension. We have a mag nifcent emergency hospital already equipped and even if case of yellow fever should slip through, l see no req son for any panic or alarm as the in- footed person would at once be taken care of and treated according to the latest and most scientific methods. My opinion is that there is even nothing to be feared from typhoid.
 "The sanitary conditions of the city were never better and we are in better shape now to cope with all contagious dis ease than ever before at this season of the year. Owing to the slight rainfall re- gently there has been little accumulation of water A number of places where wa ter formerly accumulated have been done away with. Chapel pond in West End and Griel's pond in South Montgomery are two of them. Mir Grei this morning in formed me that the pond in South Mont gomery had been thoroughly drained. Many similar places in North Montgomery have also been drained Of course there are some that cannot be drained. but these will be oiled. I have assurances from the officials of other cities that we will receive immediate reports of any case of yellow fever"
