Bisbee daily review., 1918-11-14

Williams is identical with the quaran- tine that has been put into effect the entire state. It merely puts ban on all public gatherings, such as churches. schools, pool halls. theaters and dances. This quarantine has been promulgated not by any in- dividual. but by the state board or health. At the conference of doctors and county health officers held at the capitol Saturday it was the unanimous opinion that wherever the situation was considered to be serious this quar- antine should be operative.
 Insists on Strict Observance.
 While it may be true that there are only a few cases of influenza now in Williams. it is the belief of the state board of health that the situa- ton there is yet too serious to allow the quarantine to be lifted. In the event that the board of health believes that the situation in a given com munity is well in hand and that all danger is passed, the lifting of the quarantine even then is contingent upon two things:
 "First-That all of the seven points relative to precautionary measures have been complied with. ] refer to the seven points as laid down and agreed upon by those attending the conference at the governors office Saturday"
 When asked what measures would be taken to enforce the quarantine in Williams, Dr. Brown said that the state council Of defense would see to it that the public welfare was sate- guarded
 Jones Advises Compliance.
 It is reported that Attorney General Wiley F.. Jones, having. received a wire from the town marshal of Will Hams protesting against the quaran- tine and serving notice that unless same was lifted immediately suit would be brought against the board of health, advised the authorities at Williams to abide by the rules. and regular .ons of the quarantine as laid down Dy the board of health. Jones, incidentally, is a member of the board of health by virtue of his being at tcIney general.
 Acting Goyerno- Osborn expressed himself entirely Tn accord with the position taken by Dr Brown and the state board ot health. If the board of health believes that the situation is tcO dangerous to permit of the lift ing of the quarantine at this time, feel that there is nothing to be done about it and that the town of Vii. Hams ought to abide by the regula- tions laid down by the board of health"
 Osborn wired the "ity marshal of Williams to that effect
 The points referred to include such things as thorough scrubbing with soap and water of theaters and all public buildings. A rigorous neigh borhood cleanup of streets. alleys yards, etc. Placarding of houses where there are flu" patients. Edu cational posters on the flu" to be put up literally in all public places Competent inspection of food and | drinking places to see that health reg ulations are complied with. General survey of flies and fly-breeding places Honest, serious, systematic effort tC have Gl. people vaccinated against the fin"
 Tn the second place" continued Dr. Brown, we must be satisfied even then, by experience in similar com munities where permission has beer given to open up. that there would 1 be no danger to the public health by lifting the quarantine.
 Net Satisfied Danger Is Past. Nov, what is the situation il ! Williams? They have had a seriou: epidemic there and the state board ol health is not yet satisfied that al 1 danger there has passed. Also. WI have had no indication that the sever points referred to have been compiled with or even attempted to be put il force. On the other hand. we have | the example of Flagstaff, where they opened up without authority from tho board of health with the result tha
