To Call Meeting.
DR.. Bascom said that In addition 10
taking immediate action with regard
to the Bountiful and Woods Cross
daIries he would at once call meet
ing OF the state board of health to
consider what else could be done. He
expressed the opinion that some of the
cases may have resulted from the
water at the resorts, naming Brighton
narticularly. we have had great
deal of trouble with the water In some
OF the smaller towns he SAID. Last
year and previously our chief worry
was over the Bingham water but now
II seems 10 be. general.
Mr.. Harms corroborated this and
said he had found water from some oil
the smaller places In the state In very
bad condition.
Mr.. HOLIDAY promised immediate ac-
tion with respect TO again cleaning
up the water system. though that had
been thoroughly cleaned at frequent
and regular intervals.
1t was remarked by Mr.. Harms that
hitherto the chief trouble with ty
phoid had come from the southwestern
portion Of the city. where the drainage
was bad, but it had gradually edged
north and cast until now most OF the
! trouble seemed TO be on the north and
cast benches
Action of the officials VIII be quick
and prompt. The board OF health in
| spectors were ordered to trace down
the source of infection In each case
OF typhoid fever reported, ascertainine
particularly where the milk supply is
obtained. 1t seemed TO be the con
sensus OF opinion that the milk and
nothing else was the cause of the
present epidemic and DR.. Stewart Is
convinced that 1t Is the milk from the
Bountiful daIrIes that is at the bottom
of the trouble.
! rlr. Stewart announced his inten
ton of going aftcr physicians who
failed 10 report to the board cases oi
contagious disease that came, undeI
their knowledge One of these, al
2l2 East Third South. was telephoned
TO Inspector Frazier this morning and
and inspector was sent out to inyestl
gate It.
More Than Eighty Gases Now
There are now more than eighty
cases I'm the city and nearly all o
them are in the better residence por
| tIons OF the city. There was some
thing of a lull In the reporting OF new
cases, and only two came In this
morning
Besides these there are two othel
cases OF which word came 20 the OF
| fee otherwise than by regular re
port and they are being looked up.
The district in the county under sus
plcion is just now below the Oregon
Short Line station at Bountlful Mrs
Stephen Moss. wife of one of the pro
prletorS OF the Moss Brothers dairy
has the disease. according TO the of
f1cials, though a. Jeremiah Beat.
has pronounced the woman SUFFERING
from catarTh of the stomach.
A more naGrant case. however. thai
this is being investigated. There /
no doubt whatever that Burt Parkin
living In the suspected district, ha
the disease Parkin's milk has bee1
shipped to the Jensen Creamery con-
pany and through that concern and tn
Elgin dairy would naturally find 1t
way all over the city. This was re
ported and was a subject of discussion
at the conference this morning. 1t
one of the first things which Dr. BaS
com VIII have Investigated.
The milk dealers from Bountifr
have frequently exchanged milk wit
each other. and one of them, Z. II
Grant. proprietor of the Golden Yves
dairy. admits having made such a
exchange with Moss Brothers. Their
Is said TO be typhoid along the rout
of the Golden West dairy
Inspector Frazier took steps toda
10 prosecute f. b Hogan and Z. T
Egan. proprietors of the Woods CroS
dairy. There are three cases of scal
let fever near this dairy and no 'rt
port was made Some time ago tn
Inspector had occasion to threate
them with the law when they failed
report a case of dlphthcria in one {
their families The law requires
dalryman to at once report 10 the II
Spector every case of contagious an
infectious disease in his family.
