With i5 or 20 additional homes
placed under quarantine for influenza
this forenoon by Health Officer Henry
Tucker the prospects for an Immediate
clearing up of the disease are not
promising Dir. Tucker was kept very

TO be about normal
Approximately $50 homes have been

the disease made its second appearance,
but the number Of cases confined is
much larger. Health Officer Tucker has
been kept 50 busy placing cards that he
| has not had an opportunity to keep up
| his records of the number of cases in
| each home. These figures will be as
| certained, however, when the epidemic
reaches stage when not so many calls
are necessary. In a meeting of the
| committee of the town school district
last evening it was decided not to re,
open the schools next week, on account
