Resolutions unanimously APP
proving the above regulations
were adopted at a joint meet
ing of the Jefferson County
Board of Health and the City
Commission yesterday after
noon at 4::30 o'clock and the
public is urged to lend its CO.
operation and support in max
ing them effective.
Believing that an sounce of preven-
ton is worth pound of cure local
authorities have outlined programme
to combat possible epidemic of in
fluenza in advance of its appearance.
About twenty mild cases of flu were re-
ported to the health department yes
terday. but it is believed that many
existing cases have not yet been re-
ported
The action of fthe city commission
and the county health board is the out
come of a conference held Thursday
afternoon betwee DR.. Bowling and a
representative number of merchants. At
this conference it was decided that
purely as a preventative measure some
steps looking to an elimination of con-
gestion be taken.
ABSOLUTELY NO DANGER
The health department states
that Birmin CHAM has less flu than
any city of it's size and that the
action of the merchants and of the
municipal authorities is an effort
to maintain this condition. There
is absolutely no danger in coming
downtown, according TO health Of
ficers. and the new regulations are
merely intended to perpetuate the
safety of the public.
The commission will take official ac-
ton on the influenza situation at an
open meeting to be held this morning
at $50 o'clock The commission is of
the opinion that no drastic closing reg
ulations will have to be enforced even
should the disease reach an epidemic
stage but the public Is warned to safe
guard its health and hygiene. especial
ly at home
Shoppers are urged to buy early in
the day wherever possible so that they
will not compete with working people
for street car seats in returning home.
The recommendations of the health de-
partment as agreed upon by the dele
cation of merchants and approved by
the City Commission are as follows:

RECOMMENDATIONS

'While there is at the present time ip
Birmingham and surrounding commu-
nifty only a moderate number of cases
of influenza and little signs of an cpl
demic, it is apparent that the disease
is widely prevalent in epidemic forms
in various parts of the country. and
its appearance in this community In
epidemic form May be expected.
THE well known rapidity of it's
spread makes it Imperative that pre-
tentative measuressto be of any value
should become operative in advance of
the dissemination of the disease, and
with this in mind and in line with the
principles of preventative medicine the
following measures are recommended
to be placed in operation at the earliest
practicable time for the purpose of re-
lieving the congestion of traffic on
the street. cars during the two rush
periods of the day with the hopes of
thus regulating a most aggravating
condition which is thought to so
strongly favor the SPREAD of the dis
ease
1.-THE opening time for all department
and general stores except markets and
food sotres be changed to O. a. M.
and closing time changed to p m.
"All offices to open at a. m. and
close at p. m. Saturday hours to re-
main unchanged.
Travel on street cars to be limited
to seating capacity of cars. Unusual
crowds or gatherings to be prohibited.
No interference with normal activities.
Under this rrangement the street rail-
ways will be enabled to move traffic
TO much greater advantage and
without serious Inconvenience nor IN
reference with necessary requirements.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1920-01-31
BETTER RESISTANCE

working people in the various Of
fees and places of business affected
will be less fatigued and have more
time to devote to their own personal
care and hygiene and in. this way
maintain a better resistance to disease.
Il believe that this plan has great
possibilities for good. will prevent
many cases of sickness and tend to
spread the invasion of the epidemic
should it come over a wider period Of
time. and at the same time impose
a minimum amount of Inconvenience
and interference with the normal ac-
tivities of the city as whole.
"Only the Birmingham spirit can
make such a plan of action succeed,
and by making it succeed Birmingham
will have shown to the world an ex-
ample Of what may he accomplished
by cooperation in the face of an emer-
gency which has not heretofore been
shown by any other community.
IAN appeal is made. to all organiza-
tions in the city and to the public as a
whole to enter into this plan whole
heartedly and assist the health authori-
ties in preparing the community as
far as practicable for the epidemic
of influenza before 1t reaches here.
