At the request of DIR. 0. G. Stickney,

Mayor Glysson has called a special meet
! ing of the city council for this afternoon
at / o'clock. 1t is understood that the
board OF health, having taken cognizance
of the immediate need Of general fumi-
CATION in places where the influenza was
rampant, intends to ask the council to
make provision for this work. 1t is pro-
posed that the council delegate someone
to conduct systematic fumigation
throughout the city. Hitherto, when fu-
migation was necessary only on a small
scale, the health officer has been required
by statute to do the work.
Because of unsettled conditions grow.
ing out of the quarantine, the aldermanie
health committee has decided to post
pone the cleanup day program planned
for next week and the roundup of dirt
and garbage will not take place until
Monday, Nov. 4. On that day Barre

Tomorrow morning solar time will
mark the flight of the hours, and while
2 o'clock in the morning is the time des-
| ignated by the government for setting
back the hands of the clocks and
watches, most people who are usually
not abroad at that hour will attend
to the matter before retiring tonight.
In watches and delicately adjusted
clocks, the hands should be turned for
ward until the desired hour is reached.
| Watehmakers and men who tinker clocks
are especially emphatic in these recon-
mendations, although where clocks are
4 large enough and some of the intrieaeies
Of smaller timepieces are sacrificed to
size, it Is permissible to turn the hands
back an hour.
| Drink purveyors, including the vendors
of the intoxicating beverages and those
who dispense trapped liquids found them
selves delivered from quarantine bondage
last night when they were notified that
the board Of health had lifted the lid
on soda fountains and saloons. That the
quarantine is not wholly removed viii
be indicated tomorrow when church
doors remain closed and again Monday
when the school bells fail to peal out
! their matntinal invitation. The matter
of schools and churches is regulated by
| the state board of health, while the To-
cal board of health exercises it's judg-
ment in permitting beverage establish
ments to reopen. Loud noises were con
spicuously missing when the lid blew
off this morning, The public took it
calmly and if anybody expected STAN.
