HEALTH BOARD
STANDS FIRM
People Col Wrong Impression Of
Their Intentions

A large delegation Of citizens APP
peared before the board of health,
at meeting Tuesday night, and
requested that the recent compulsory
vaccination order OF the board be re-
pealed or modified, but the board,
after giving respectful attention to
the arguments which the citizens had
to offer, gave as their decision that
the order would be enforced strictly
but In such a manner that a hard
ship would be worked on no one.
A number of speeches were made
by the different citizens present, but
all were marked by the absence OF
rancor or bitterness. and the citizens
came before the board simply as
petitioners.
The principal contention Of the
citizens, who opposed the compul-
sorry order, was that the conditions
In the city. at the present time, did
no, demand such a step. 1t was
pointed ont that IL the order was
strictly enforced that IL would work
great hardship upon the women and
children and the aged, whose con-
situations would not be able to bear
the strain of vaccination.
In answering the arguments of the
petitioners, the members of the
board declared that the citizens evil
IDENTIFY had wrong impression as to
the intentions Of the board in the
enforcement OF the order. They
were assured that no one who was
not physically able to Withstand the
vaccination would be required tc
come under the regulation, and that
no small children orI aged person,
who habitualiy stayed indoors would
be required to be yaccinated.
After discussing the matter In de
tail and giving respectful attention
to all who desired to offer objections
TO the order, the board requested ths
delegation 10 retire and allow then
time TO frame an answer 20 the peti
ton presented The board then hell
a short executive session and at th'
conclusion gave out the following
answer TO the petition:
To the Citizens Committee and tn,
People OF Durham:
We, the board OF health OF the cit,
or Durham, after conference will

meeting. held at the court house Of
Monday night OF the present week

tion ordinance passed by this boar
on January 81, as we deem the pres

city does not permit of any extension
OF the date set for the commence
ment OF the enforcement OF this ord

We wish to say, however, to GU
citizens. that all persons who are no
