Corporation Counsel Syme
Thinks Health Officers Rec
concentrations Too Rigid.
SUCH EXTREME MEASURES
NOT NECESSARY, HE HOLDS
Believes Only Existence Of Public
Danger of Utmost Gravity Would
Justify Them as Reasonable.

Health Officer Woodward's recommen-
dations for drastic law to control in
fantile paralysis here will not be adopted
by the District Commissioners II they act
on the advice of the corporation counsel.
In an opinion submitted today. Conrad
H. Syme the Districts chief legal ad-
wiser, states that 1.-The proposed regula-
tions are certainly unusual, and SO drastic
in their interference with individual and
property rights, that only the existence
of public danger of the utmost gravity
could justify them as reasonable under
the circumstances"
Mr.. Syme points out that the recon-
mendations Of DR.. Woodward are accom-
panied by an expression Of opinion on his
part as to the necessity for, and the ef-
fectiveness of them. which indicates that
they do not meet with the acQuiescence
of his professional judgment.
The proposed regulations represent
the minimum requirements adopted by
the conference of state and territorial
health officers held in Washington week
before last and were recommended by
DR. Woodward, not because of his be-
lief in them. but for the reason that he
thought the community entitled to pro-
lection growing out of the views OF a
ajority of health experts rather than
the opinion of one man.
Provides for Quarantining.
The principal recommendations are
that all persons in an infected house
hold be quarantined. the present regu-
iations requiring only the isolation Of
the patient, and that all infected prem
ises be placarded.
From the reports in the daily press" !"
states the corporation counsel in his
opinion, lit appears that the disease of
infantile paralysis is decreasing and
probably, with the coming OF cold
weather. it will gradually disappear.
IF the Commissioners were certain
that there existed situation of the
gravest danger to the public, in which
the EXTREMIST and most radical pre-
ventive measures were necessary to be
adopted, they would be justified in
enacting the proposed regulations, and
courts in such action. But unless such
a situation is present in the opinion
Of the health officer. and he believes
such action is necessary, ! think 1t
should not be taken"
When told of Corporation Counsel
Syme's opinion, DR.. Woodward this aft
ernoon said that he considered the like
lihood of Washington being visited by
a serious infantiie paralysis epidemic
greatly diminished. The Commission
| and probably will call DIR. Woodward
into conference before doing so.
DIR. Woodward today said ne would
investigate report of a case of infantile
paralysis in Montgomery county, Md,
to determine whether there is any dan
ger of the infection coming in contact
with Washington's milk supply from
that section.
