city and county boards have a right to
enforce the quarantine or not as they
see fit. the action will be taken i'm
mediately and. as the county commis-
sioners meet this morning with the
purpose. 1t is said. of making a similar
move. 1t should not be long before
Missoula county is just as well pro-
tected against the disease as ever.

council in regard to the quarantine
and advised that 1t be made rigid at
the start. -
