Boise Board Of Health Finds That

The city of Boise, which has been
under strict quarantine for some

afer four-day investigation that in
fiuenza victims had not contracted

With reference to the investigation
the Sunday Statesman speaks as fol-

Mayor Hays Saturday night issued
the following statement concerning
the Investigations and gives a report
of the home service department of
the Red Cross:
''The city board of health has been
much subject to criticism. The man

vented has not been thoroughly
worked out by the medical profess

board acted on medical advice. When
called ON by the Red Cross commit

do SO. but acted under the belief

the people wanted, although our in

this was wrong method.

Main street stores in the height of
the epidemic employed 166 clerks.
only six of them had the disease The
picture shows employ seven people
who constantly come in touch with
the public; none of them had the
disease. If the disease was primarily
spread in crowds. the clerks and the
picture show employees should all
have had it.
the board determined to find out
how the people who had the disease
thought they contracted it. They
made an investigation in the last four
