Gov. LISTER WILL RAISE MONEY
IF PLAGUE SHOWS HEAD HERE

Plans arc being outlined by the
state board OF health Tuesday 10
adopt statewide quarantine regula-
tions to guard against the invasion
OF the infantile paralysis plague.
Following conferences with Gov
Lister and Northwest physicians,
the state health authorities have
agreed that isolation hospitals
must be ready for any cases of in
fsntile paralysis that may break
out in Washington.
Lister Offers Funds
Patients will be quarantlned for
not less than eight weeks. and per.
sons exposed will be guarded for
ten days at least.
Altho no state funds are on
hand for any aggressive cam
palgn, Gov. Lister said money
could be raised II the situation be-
comes critical
Some OF the Washington state
health board plans are patterned
after the Oregon rules which went
into effect Monday. The lack of
funds here makes It impossible to
follow them completely.
Ask Federal Aid
The Oregon officials have estan-
lished quarantine offices at every
railroad station in the state, and
all passengers under 10 years OF
age are inspected there. This &C.
tion was taken. following the -e-
port OF several suspicious cases al
ready within that state.

In this connection the story went
out that England may send over
