ton in respect to health matters. Mr..
Barkee mentioned few of these health |
matters. He quoted DR. Cairns as hav-
ing reported that scarlet fever is now
eradicated from the city and that ty-
phoid fever-which had plagued the
city for 80 many years-was now a |
thing Of the past and had been for the
past three or four years. Mr.. Barkec
said the health authorities are con-
vinced that pasteurization of the |
rity's milk supply has had much to do
with this and that it will be continued |
FOR the present The matter of an i'm
proved water supply is also being gone
into with the possibility that the city
may purchase the water plant. He said |
DR.. Cairns announced that represent
alive of the state department of health
will visit Libby in the near future
and that a further health campaign
will be worked out at that time with
the cooperation of city officials and the
