Nothing developed in the influenza situation in Norwich Monday to make the city health officer, Dr. B. J. Bro phy, decide that it would be necessary yet to close places of public assem- ply such as schools and theaters.
 According to the reports made to Dr. Brophy and to pr. George Thomp- son, the town health officer, there are 1S known cases of the influenza ill the entire town and there may be possibly a dozen more yet unreported, but all so far have been of a mild type.
 The doctors are hoping that the people have learned the lesson of the epidemic last year that the best way of avoiding serious and possibly fatal consequences from an attack of the .f1u" is to go home and stay home at the first signs of symptoms of the disease Many lives that might have been saved in the previous visitation of the disease were forfeited because people did not realize it's treacherous character and thought they could stay around at their ordinary occupa- tions as if they had merely a severe cold.
 pr. Brophy stated Monday night that he wanted all inquiries and re- ports of influenza cases to be /tele- phoned in, Or made personally. at the office of the department in the city
 hall where it has been located for the past six months in the room which has been for many years during elections used as the republican head quarters. There is 8 girl in genera
 charge there from to 12 in the forenoon and to in the afternoon and the telephone number is 11s2.
 Health cemnhissionef's Statement.
 pr. John T. Black the state com | missioner of public health, issued z | statement at Hartford Monday con cerning influenza, in this state. Theri were 272 new cases reported to tht department of health Monday. In his statement, pr. Black says: Influenza is again approaching tn, I high water mark. Its rise is beint
 watched with considerable interes i and concern, although such a devas tating flood as was experienced in tn l fall of 1918 does not seem probable. 1 During the first three weeks of Jan uary there were sixteen cases reporte, l in the state and during the week jus
 ended 1123. As this weeks morbidit, report indicates. the large majority 0 ] these were in Waterbury. Within tn i last ten days outbreaks have been re ported thrcughou the country, par ticularly in New York, Chicago, Sal Francisco and Dallas.
 1 The disease itself does not seem t ! be as virulent type as that of tn
 last epidemic, sinluls ting more closel
 the so-ealled old fashioned grip. Thu l far. the eases are mild. rarely compli
 cated and few fatal. Of the cities re 1 porting, New Haven and Hartfor had one death each and Waterbdr. 1 two,
