QUARANTINE E ID BE ENFORCED
 VERY STRICTLY

mlttee was neld at the Offlce or the townsite manager last night for the purpose of discussing the measures taken and to pass on the accounts for expenses incurred and for a gen. eral discussion of the situation, with a view to the improvement of the measures taken, if possible.
 Those present at the meeting were Mrs. M. J. Sweeney, Dr. David More, F. D. Browne, James Hagen, Oscar Rothenburg, R. S. Mcdonald, Carl Schmidt and H. B. Joseph.
 MT. Frederick D. Browne took the chair and called the meeting to order at 7:30 p. m. He explained the purpose of the meeting and in- vited suggestions and an open dis cussion for the betterment of the measures adopted and for devising ways and means for meeting the ex- penses of the quarantine. The prim. ary object of this meeting, however, was to appoint an auditing committee to go over the accounts and to keep ! them in such shape so that they can be examined at any time by the people of this district who are help ing to pay part of the expense.
 Mrs. Sweeney, Dr. More and Mr. McDonald' were appointed com mittee to examine and pass on the accounts rendered which represented the expenses incurred up to December first, in putting into effect the quar- antine measures taken. The meet ing was adjourned temporarily to give the auditing committee chance to examine and pass on the accounts submitted.
 The auditing committee having finished the business entrusted to them, the meeting was resumed.
 The accounts showed that the Alaskan Engineering commission had incurred the sum of $2,587.54 in labor, material, supplies, etc., in put ting the quarantine into effect: this amount includes the sum of Ss67 which the Alaskan Engineering com mission IS willing to stand as their share of the expenses. The sum of SS4O will be met from the assess ment fund. There is a balance left over from the revenue derived from the sale of quarantine tags which is thought to be sufficient to carry the work on until the end of the present month.
 On the proposal of MT. Browne, 1t was unanimously agreed that a complete statement be submitted to the people of the district at a mass meeting which will be called in a few days, so that they will be fully informed as to what is being done for the protection of the com. munity from the epidemic.
 1 The measures taken by the Terri torial Health Board for the pro. lection of the Interior were discussed and 1t was ascertained that to guard against the possible introduction of the disease via the Kobuk trail. a quarantine station had been estab- Ilshed on the mail trail between the koyukuk and Panama, a few miles out of the latter camp.
 MT. Mcdonald asked if different { stand cannot be taken regarding Fairbanks, as the quarantine against the upper town has a direct bearing on the mail service. After some discussion bearing on the question, It was decided that if the quarantine measures were to be effective they must be enforced against Fairbanks, and on being put to the vote, it was unanimously agreed that the present quarantine against Fairbanks and the rest of Alaska will remain in force.
 Regarding the mail service, Mr. Browne told of steps he had taken and wire he had sent to the chief clerk of the mail service with a view to it's betterment. He thought that the poor mail service is due to the fact that the postal authori- ties, who have not seen fit to let a
