PHOENIX DEBATES FLU"

Opposition to the city of Phoenix in throwing open the town at the present stage of the influenza epidemic was voiced by the local board of supervis- ors yesterday when the county order ed the emergency hospital closed. The city will now care for its patients in- dependent of the county. declared the board and county health authorities, who believe the same mistake is being made here as in Denver. San Francis co and other cities in the United States. where the ban was lifted when the epidemic was in the same stage as it is in this city. Since the city has taken this action. despite our opposi tion, it can care for it's own cases and we will care for ours," said the super visors. The city was determined to open the town and it has done so. We can only hope that history will not re- peat itself and Phoenix suffer as other places have suffered by taking this action too soon" The county, on recommendation of its health depart ment, will maintain a ward at St. Joseph's hospital. Patients who could not be removed from the emergency hospital to their homes were taken there last evening. The county will continue to conduct it's emergency hospitals in Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Buckeye and Glendale. John D. Loper, appointed by the board of supervisors as their representative to have charge of the emergency hospitals during the epidemic. may be forced to resign if the schools open on Monday.
