Paralysis Fear
In Montgomery Is
Much Exaggerated
Only Five Cases Have Been Re-
ported Out Of A Population
Of Over $4,000

Montgomery County has had five
reported cases of infantile paralysis
and one reported as a suspected case.
This number in a population Of $4,000
should not be alarming. Experience
has shown that most of the occasions
in which this disease visits an area
result in the attack of very small
proportion. Frequently the alarm is
entirely out of proportion to the
danger and injuries from the. disease
are far less than those from physica,
accidents during the same period.
at is now generally known thai
this disease is Infectious" says DIR. v
IE. Ellicott, County health Officer
"This does not mean that it spreads
only from one case to another. One
case, in fact, very rarely is traceable
to another. The reason for this is that
the germs of the disease are widely
distributed in the noses and Threats
lof healthy persons whenever the
disease prevails. Most of the popula-
ton is immune but when a suscept-
able person receives the infection and
comes down with clinical case. The
isolation of known cases is, of course
necessary and proper but for these
reasons has almost no effect in pre-.
venting the spread of the disease.
"The germs or "virus" of infantile
paralysis are so easily passed from
one healthy person to another that
all attempts to prevent or slow down
the spread of the disease have proved
ineffective. The closing of moving
pictures or the cancellation of public
meetings are, therefore, unjustifed
If, however, a meeting results in
bringing persons from an infected
area in contact with those of another
area, the spread of the disease is apt
to be increased.
"One might suppose that the keep
ing of children at home when cases
are around would protect them. This
does not seem to be true as those
children seem to be attacked fairly
frequently. There is, however, certain.
ly no harm in. attempting to guard
children in this way. A child should
of course, not be taken to another
city or other locality where the disease
prevails because this is known to in.
crease his chances of catching it."

County Bonds Sell
At Low Interest
Rate OF $3.50
John Nuveen Company OF
Chicago Buys $232,5OO Sub
urban Street Certificates

Montgomery County Tuesday So
cured the best terms for long-term
bonds in its history when the John
Nuveen Co. of Chicago, agreed to
purchase an issue of $232, 500 in sub
urban district street assessment re-
funding bond at par with an in
terest rate of 1926 per cent.
The sale will represent a saving
of $4,000 in interest on the money
involved, which now is in certificates
that bear 6 per cent interest. In
addition to the favorite rate the
bonding house agreed to pay the lith-
ographing and legal expenses, which
will amount to a saving of approx
mately $500 for the county.
The Montgomery County commits
sioners were elated at the excellent
price on the bonds and by the re-
ports of the representative of the
bond firm, who said that county
bonds are selling with ease in the
western United States.
First maturity of the bonds will
be in 1888 and the last in 1915.
The commissioners appointed Will
lard johnson, of Kensington, to be
constable in place of Malcolm d.
Walter, resigned. The question Of
giving a weeks vacation to county
policemen was discussed and the de-
cision left with Frank H. Karin, COM
missioner in charge of polls. Karn
said he favored the plan in view Of
the long hours policemen work.
Building Inspector Jack Gray
asked the two county building In
spectors be given a $50 q month
expense account in view Of the fact
that their salaries are $500 a year
less than the former inspectors and
their receive no expenses. The COM
missioners voted TO increase the SAL
aries of the inspectors $50 a month
instead of granting the expense ac-
count.
The commissioners directed the
Social Service League continue care
Of INDECENT children through Sep
tember at the request Of the county
welfare board.
The board wrote to DIR. H. =.
Tabler, chairman Of the Maryland
State Roads Commission, asking that
work unauthorized by the county
commissioners on lateral roads and
county streets be halted and only
work requested by the commissioners
be carried on in the future. The
repair work is increasing the county
roads deficit, the commissioners point
ed out, and is in contradiction Of an
agreement which provided that this
work would halt unless asked by tha
commissioners.
