Boy Messengers a Problem.
a. e A. L.. rrok1o,,. which tbn
government surgeons were forced 20
meet at the outset Of the new system
was that presented by boys under six
teen who work in New York, or who
come across the Hudson several times
dav as messengers. This was solved
by the issuance to these youngsters OF
permanent passes on this side OF the
river and Of commutatiOn tickets 20
them in New Jersey.
More than fifty boys who came over
Yesterday morning were delayed sev-
eral hours in the Hudson Terminal
when they attempted TO return 20 New
jersey until this solution was reached
81 made a tour Of the railroad and
ferry stations this morning said DR.
Banks. "and found the new system
working very well, although there arc
few details yet 10 be perfected. II
is important that the people under
stand that this is a government order
and cannot be lodged.
Warning TO Children.
"Our concern is with children going
out of New York who might be pos
sible carriers of the disease. Certif-
Gates must be obtained during the
hours the surgeon is on duty at the
railroad stations Travellers with
children will not be permitted 10 board
night trains without such passes. Al
though they are not compelled 20 do
so. il is advisable for children leaving
New York City for points within the
state 20 get certificates, az without
them they will very probably be turned
back by the local health authorities. >
