No one had an inkling, it is said, that

City Physician Hogeboom and City
Plumbing Inspector Conklin will in
Ivestigate conditions at the Grant
Ischool The inspection will be made
as soon as possible.
| This will follow some talk that un-
sanitary conditions at the school have
lcaused the spread of d1phtheria in the
school Three cases of the disease
have broken out this season. Some
claim that every year it has been con-
| fined to pupils of the Grant school,
while others say otherwise.
/ Another claim is made that the
basement is damp. While it is true
that last spring it was flooded after a
| hard rain, ordinarily it appears per-
/ fectly dry. This morning not a trace
| of moisture was visible on the cement
! which lines the lower part of the base
tment walls. The plumbing and other
equipment of the school is modern.
Sanitary Sergeant Vanderpool is of
the opinion that the claims mentioned
are unfounded and that the investiga-
ton is unnecessary He says that the
| fact that the disease is confined to
1.-THE west section of the First ward.

Itagious diseases are liable to be con-
fined to any special part of any ward
