Gentlemen:- During the month
of July dismissed all occupants
of both the Pest House and Deten-
#tion Camp that were there at your
last meeting, numbering II in
Pest House. 20 in Detention.
Since then found one focus in
Engstrom Quarters and another
in Mays Quarters. These were
reported to me by outside parties.
The families Affected concealed it
either through ignorance or NAL
ice. These cases, four in all,
were placed in pest house, and s
in detention. Others exposed
were vaccinated. Since these
affected people are concealing
each new infection, thereby en-
dangering still further the lives
Of others, / suggest that your
Honorable Body order compul-
sorry vaccination among them.
This will come nearer solution
of thfs knotty problem than quar-
antine.
There have been three cases of
scarlet fever reported to me.
|Dne white, two colofed. These
are being treated privately and
patients quarantined. There has
been one case of diphtheria, a
nergo child, which died, and
apartments fumigated by family.
There has been no further
spread of small poz in District
No. 5, SO DR.. S. r, Towns reports,
and no other developments at Mr..
