CITY COMMISSION
DISCUSSION OF QUARANTINE
BUY ELECTRIC GENERATOR
NEEDS OF THE PUB
Lie LIBRARY.

The city commissioners met in reg
ular session last evening mainly to
discuss the epidemic situation in
Madison. and incidentally to hear a
plea from Chairman ID. ID. Holdridge
for a higher salary for the city Ii
brarian and for a larger appropria-
ton fQg repairs and needed books,
shelving, papers and magazines.
The entire commission was present
and each one seemed thoroughly
aroused over the prospective spread
of influenza and pneumonia in our
midst because of carelessness and
lack of precaution on the part of
those now afflicted. 1t was reported
that the state has over 1900 new
cases since Monday morning and that
there are communities in the state
where people are dying in great
numbers with doctors and nurses ov-
e~rworked and the death rate grow
ing apace. Looking into the matter
in this city the commissioners were
unanimous in the opinion that more
drastic steps should be taken at once
to prohibit more than eight Or 10
people c~ongregating in any public
place, store, restaurant or any other
place of business and further, they
deplored the fact that children are
not kept on their own premises and
that a rigid quarantine was not in
force against all who are known to
be Ill from the effects Of the epidem-
ic. Their whole thought was the
safety Of the public and the proven
ton of the further spread of pneu-
monia in our city. A decision
was reached to place an extra officer
on the streets to keep children at
home and also to regulate the num-
Der of people permitted to gather in
any place of business. 1t is not un-
likely that a quarantine measure
will be enforced at once and all cases
OF influenza and pneumonia reported
to the mayor and health officers so
that the situation may be kept under
proper surveillance. for 1t was cog
infant to- the entire, commission that
we must not let the public health
reach such a tragic state Of danger
and panic as is now common to
places like Rapid City, Lead, Yank-
ton and other places in this state
where the epidemic Il sweeping like
a scourge. What the commission
most desires Is that all citizens co.
operate fully In any steps taken look
ing toward safeguarding the health
Of the citizens Of Madison. The chill
Edren must be kept at home and off
the streets. Quarantine notices must
be posted on all homes where influ-
enxa II known TO be. The physicians
Iof The city must report II a. cases
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1918-10-22

Of epidemic nature and public gath
erings must tease Yhe latter is con-
strued to mean public sales and auc-
lions as well as gatherings at lodges,
in schools, shows and churches. The
paragraph just above is a summary
of what we may expect the commits
%sioners to enforce, and the best way
to cooperate is to religiously observe
those provisions and thus avoid a
panic and a. stricken city.
The A. n. Savage company. of St.
Paul. had Mr.. Bushman, their COM
missioned representative, present last
evening to offer to the city of Mad
ison through the commission the sale
of a 100 kilowatt generator, which is
now at Flandreau, the price to be
81 1000. In view of the fact that the
generator now in use is carrying an
overload and may at any time break
down and thus leave the city without
light and power it has been thought
wise to add a unit to the plant at the
Normal and thus insure the city
against any possibility of being sud-
denly crippled in respect to light and
power this winter. A motion was
made and carried that the offer of
the Savage company be accepted at
the price stipulated.
Chairman ID. ID. Holdridge. of the
library board, also Mrs. MCGEE and
Librarian Mrs. Bert Reeve appeared
before the commission in behalf of
the city library needs. Mr.. Hold
ridge as spokesman read q law of the
last legislative session that city IL
brary trustees were authorized to
make estimates for library mainten-
ace and that 2 mills on the dollar
had been legally provided for this
purpose. He mentioned that there
was great need now for books, mag
azines, etc., and that the only way to
keep this institution of the people
modern was for the commission to
make large enough appropriations to
meet all requirements. The state Ii
brarian visited our library last week
and made many suggestions for fur
Their addition to the shelves and
reading tables. 1t appears that the
last amount set aside for library
needs, s1,7OO. was far inadequate
and Mr.. Holdridge very c~ourteously
requested that a larger allowance be
made Immediately. Mr.. Holdridge
paid a high compliment to the ability
Of the present librarian, Mrs. Reeve,
her preparation for such work and
her requisite attachments and he re-
quested that her salary allowance be
increased to $50 per month. Both
Mrs. MCGEE and Mrs. Reeve explain
ed the present needs of the library
and during the ourse of their re-
marks, 1t was obvious that each a
nestly wished to see the building and
equipment kept up well and made
a place of beauty and usefulness.
Commissioners Schmidt responded
that the commission stood ready to
acquiesce in any reasonable demand
for funds to maintain the library.
The commissioners will make an Off
cial investigating trip to the public
library this week and inform them
selves regarding any improvements,
repairs or expense that are necessary
to satisfy the recommendations OF
the board of trustees.
AS there was no further business
the meeting adjourned.
