QUARANTINE
REGULATIONS
ARE DEFINED
A i lore definite understanding of
the quarantine rules anil regulations,
and as to how they are to be carried
out during the epidemic of influenza,
was outlined by l)r. \V. \V. Council,
assistant health commissioner, at a
joint meeting of the local council of
national defense and the city council,
held yesterday afternoon
Dr Council stated that he would
have full charge of the detention camp
at Castle Inn. the incoming boats and
outgoing passengers on the railroad:
that lie did not hereafter propose to
quarantine anyone from the westward
unless the epidemic was prevailing in
those towns or a case developed on
the boat. He said that according to
his advices ther had been no influenza
at westward points since December
20, and it would be putting the lerri
tory to an unnecessary expense and
serve no good purpose to quarantine
arrivals from the westward; as an ex
tra precaution, however, he today
wired the health officers in all the
coast towns to acquaint him with ex
isting conditions find also to immedi
ately report the development of any
cases; that the time in transit from
the last infected port touched by the
steamer, and in case of cases (level
opened aboard the boat, would be de
ducted from the ten-day period of iso
lation at the local detention camp;
the order compelling all arrivals to
deposit $2.ri to pay for their detention
would he enforced, and where the fee
was not forthcoming the passenger
would be compelled to remain aboard
the boat.
I)r. Council also stated that be bad
arranged with Dr. W. H. Chase, local
health officer, to have full charge of
the quarantine in the town, and also
the regulation of those going to or
coming from the dock; that the
guards bad been notified not to allow
anyone to pass through the gate un
less they had first obtained a permit
| from the* health officer.
Dr Chase informed the meeting that
he would recommeend that the ban on
'tile town be lifted next Monday if nc
! new eases developed here in the in
jterim This means that all business
would be allowed to resume its nor
mal course, including the openin gt
| the schools, churches, theaters, etc
Another meeting of both tin* conn
icils will be held next Sunday afternoon
to act on this recommendation.

CONCERTED EFFORT TO
BE MADE TO MOVE
LOCAL CABLE OFFICE
_
Fur the past few years the Cordova
Chamber of Commerce has been mak
ing an effort to secure the removal of
the United States cable office from
the foot of (' avenue to a central loca
tion in the town, and the importance
of making tills ehangeg is more urgent
now than ever before. While Ii has
always been considered an outrage to
compel the public to tramp through
slush, mud or deep snow, in all kinds
of inclement weather, in order to
transact business at the government
cable office, the public finally has be
come so aroused over the matter that
concerted action has now been
taken.
At a joint meeting of the local conn
cil of national defense and the city
council it was the consensus of opin
ion that now was the time to strike,
ami to strike hard, for the removal
of the cable office. One of the avail
able locations mentioned was the
ground floor of the hospital building,
which is steam heated and easy of
access.
As Captain Faust of the signal i :,
is here from Valdez, it was decided
to appoint u committee to meat with
him and set forth our grievance, in
the hope of gaining some relief.
Mayor llillery named the following
committee: Malcolmn Brock. .1 B
Saplro. I)r. W. W. Council. F. B. Tracy.
J. W Ward and 11. G. Steel. It was
intended to have the meeting with
Captain Faust this afternoon, hut as
the latter has other important busi
ness which he must tirst dispose of.
the matter was deferred for a day or
two.
