PARTIAL REMOVAL
OF QUARANTINE
First Class Saloons to Reopen and Ice
Cream and Soda Dealers May Serve
on Premises, Although Not
to Children.

The quarantine which began to close
down over Barre early in July will be
partially lifted tomorrow morning, ac-
cording to a statement issued to-day by
Health Officer j. W. Stewart First class
saloons will be rid of the restrictions i'm
posed some weeks ago In the case of
the ice cream and soda dealers sales may
be made to adults only, as the author
tiles will continue to prohibit children
under Is from visiting refreshment places
ynd for time, at least, the order which
keeps them on their own premises will
remain in force
For the present the ban on public
gatherings is to continue. Churches and
moving picture establishments are to re-
main closed and picnies, baseball games,
etc, will not be allowed. Nor will club
rooms be reopened tomorrow. Even
though the ban on ice cream and soda
sales to adults is lifted and first class
saloons may resume business, DR. S cw-
art is particularly desirous of emphasiz-
ing the fact that children must remain
on their own premises and that public
gatherings will not be permitted. More
over, if there is fresh outbreak of po-
liomyelitis and anything like an epide ~'c
is threatened, all of the restrictions orig
inally enforced will be restored.
So far as present cases are concer1e',
the situation is clearing rapidly. Dr. Ed
ward Taylor of Burlington came to Barre
and confirmed DR.. Stewards
of the case in the Young fam
ily, but he expressed satisfaction with
conditions elsewhere in Barre. The quar-
antine on the Ross house in Division
street, where the first case developed,
was lifted to-day and it is expected that
three or four more families will be re-
eased in week.
