SAY INFLUENZA
IS ON DECREASE
No Accurate Data on Cases
Till Doctors Make Report
to Health Board

There seems to be q varied differ
ence of opinion among the doctors of
the city concerning the Spanish" in
fiuenza epimedic which Is sweeping
the country and has grip on Perth
Amboy.
There is no way of knowing at this
time the exact number of cases of the
disease now prevailing here. but 1t is
expected tomorrow morning that
many of the doctors will begin to
make returns to the Board of Health
as required by the state board, and
this should give Perth Amboy an idea
of Just how much foothold the disease
has gained. Blanks for these reports
are now being distributed among the
doctors by Health Officer William J..
Willsey.
Some doctors are OF the opinion
the disease, Is not as severe as it was.
and that 1t seems to be on the de-
crease, while others report that 1t is
not letting up to any extent. Some
claim II is in the-air, while others say
il must be caught through personal
contact, such as breathing the air
after some one has sneezed or cough
ed.
Nine new cases were received at
the isolation hospital yesterday.
Seven of these were from the United
States Coast Guards, one was a SOL
dier from Morgan and the other q
soldier from South River. 1t was
said at the hospital this afternoon that
none of these cases was considered
of a serious nature.
The Board of Health takes the
stand that there would be little use OF
closing up places about the city al
this time as everyone has stood
chances of catching the disease, and
those who travel to distant clties and
return would bring the germs home
with them. In spite of the various
rumors to the effect that the schools
are to be closed, the health board has
taken no action in the mo tier and
does not consider 1t wise at this time
to do so. The schools have a perfect
system of ventilation Gnd many of the
scholars If they were to remain al
home would run more chance of the
disease than If they attend school
Steps have been taken, however, Ia

Miss VanNuis taught school here
for forty-two years and her numerous
attempts to secure a pension were
thwarted by Miss Allen and her CO.

the ground that Miss VanNuis was
not disabled.
The teachers OF this city, at their
meeting on Wednesday afternoon,
took up the cudgels for Miss VanNuis
and communicated with her, telling
her that she had their moral and
