of the larger municipalities throughout
the country has caused a little anxiety

tality record established here during
the epidemic of 1918 is the foundation
of this anxiety for the most part. And
well il might be, for the death rate in
the city of Barre was never so great as
during those few weeks of the fall of
1918 and early 1919 Thus far this
year City Physician Wark has received

cases Of grip in this city, as we'll as
