the leak and servid to reduce the
flow OF water int othe lock consid-

thousand dollars and delaying re-
opening OF the waterway for weeks
As soon as the lock is entirely
drained. it is believed the leak can

deaths were well scattered through

month, May, in which there was not

The State law provides that the
patient shall be quarantined for a
minimum period Of four weeks and
that children in the family, who
have not had whooping cough, shall
