The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-07-22

The manner in which the, great expenditures necessitatedt by the anti-poliomyelitis cam. paign of the health department will be met, became known to- day. when it was learned thati Mayor Wilson will engineer a. plan to borrow money.
 At the next meeting of thel common council, which will be- held August 7, the mayor will present a plan for raising ESQ., 900 on the issuance of short term 9otes.
 While the people are in the mood to provide the cash, un- der any circumstances, it is ex- pected Mayor Wilson will take advantage of the situation andl ask the issuance of other notes for other purposes. One how ever, will have to do with the sanitation campaign. Money will be borrowed to pay for cleaning unpaved streets, daily, it is expected, or a special ap- propriation will be asked.
 Bridgeport had its first death yes- terday from what is undoubtedly in- fantile paralysis, according to the physician who examined the victim.s Donate Iannone, aged nine months. succumbed at o'clock yesterday saf-,, ternoon at the home of his parents. 122 George street. pr. Abraham So- phian, the health expert, ordered a private funeral. today and the body will be inferred under the direction of Mrs. Louise Richards. undertaker.
 pr. John F. Flynn said today that the case was undoubtedly one of paralysis pr. Sophian said that the health officials, who also made an ex- animation, weren't certain, so the case was listed as cerebro-spinal men, ingitis.
 Max Robinobitz, son of MT. and Mrs. Rubin Robinobitz of 63 Toni Thumb, street. was added to the lists of definite cases this afternoon. mak- ing 14 certain cases of poliomyelitis. His is possibly the 18th. but doubt arose today over one case.

 Dr.. Haskell also examined a child at 22s Helen street. but found no ill., ness. - z
 The case of Michael Suchak of Spruce street caused doubt today. Physicians who had examined the child declared yesterday that it prob ably was poliomyetlitis, but Dr. So- phian said this morning that the boy improved wonderfully today and the. case may prove to be something other than infantile paralysis.
 John H. Stowe of 79S Madison ave- nue was recorded on the health de- partment records today as a positive case, following the announcement of physicians yesterday.
 The case of John Stevens of Strat- ford was reported favorably today. Dr. E. H. J. Hennessey has the child under observation and hasn't yet found any positive symptoms.

 Quarantine was lifted today on house in Fairfield. The home of H. J. Sauer on Thorpe avenue was quaran. tined for the last week, as the family had been in New York and the three children were exposed to the epidemic dangers.
