clan who is out of the city is received

the 152 cases now in the Emergency
hospital and the influenza ward of St
Joseph's are from the districts outside
of the city.
1t is generally conceded that Phoenix
is cleaner city today than it has beer
for some time. In addition to the
cleaning up that has been in progress
in the residence districts, the sidewalks
| in the downtown district have beer
flushed with water in an effort to drive
the influenza germ to other regions.
Satisfaction is expressed by the citi-
zens committee at the progress mad.
