II believe that those OUTSIDE ths pres pres

idea because nothing can affect the
health or the comfort and safety OF the
people who reside within the city with

n"opIe who live outside the city. The

is prevention and check OF contagious
and infectious diseases.
II believe that those who have given
mature thought and dclibcration to the

coming over to the idea that the whole
