Storm sewer.-$75,ooo to Be
Invested in Parks

Billings-With a $475,O0 fund made
available by the approval ut the recent
special election of bond issues for the
installation Of a large storm sewer and
the purchase of new park sites and
the improvement of those already es-
tablished, city officials already have
begun work on the preliminary de-
tails of the projects.
The storm sewer bonds are to be
sold this fall and material is to be or
dered so that work may be begun early
in the spring. The park board has sew
eral desirable tracts under considera-
ton as future beauty spots.
The vote on the $475, 600 expenditure
was one of the lightest ever cast on q
proposition Of that magnitude here.
More than 5000 taxpayers, it is esti-
mated, could have qualified themselves
to vote on the measure by observing
the regulation which required the
registration Of taxpayers whose names
were on the tax rolls of the preceding
year.

by the board at meeting held in the

well. The policy pursued in checking
the spread of the disease will be to
isolate individual cases. ind If quar-
antine of houses where the disease ex-
lists proves inadequate, special hospit-
ais will be established to care for the
cases.
Detailed regulations were. fOrmu-
lated by the board for the control of

few days. One of the chief means
of prevention will be vaccination, for
which purpose bacterin, made in the
laboratory Of the state board of health

patients in Montana. will be supplied
free. General use Of this incubation
is urged upon all citizens who escaped
the influenza last winter. Those who
have once had the disease are con-
silered by noted health authorities to
be immune.
Already sc Montana physicians have
volunteered to leave their homes and

state in case the epidemic gets beyond
the control of local agencies. Enlist
ments in this campaign are being re-
ceived by Secretary COgswell, who Is
highly gratified ut the spirit of devO
ton to the public good displayed by

fers, coming right upon the heels OF
the great sacrifices demanded OF the
medical profession during the war, are
considered by DR.. Cogswell all the
more praiseworthy.
The Red Cross organization in Mon

calls made upon them in connection
with the influenza return, and while
the number of volunteers has not beer
reported, it is thought no difficulty
will be experienced along this line.
