According to opinions presented by Secretary Longenecker, the Board must pay all its teachers their full salary beginning on Monday, Sept. 18th.

DIXON SAYS “NO” A special meeting of the Board of Health was held on Tuesday evening at 8:30 P. M., to consider the | quarantine situation in Lancaster. A | communication was read from Dr. Dixon, Commissioner of Health of Penna., enclosing a copy of a com- munication sent to the officers of Lancaster County Fair Association under the date of August 24th, in { which he states that children under sixteen years are not to be admitted to the fair from Sept. 26th to the 29th and asking that publicity be given to the fact. The communica- tion to the Board of Health re- quested co-operation in the enforce- ment of the provisions of the ruling in regard to the fair. After consid- ering the situ: in $ énd county, and the dual angdfateady development of the diseasd®frough- out the state, the following resolu- tion was altos ed and ordered pub- lished. s ? Whereas, the present epidemic of infantile paralysis shows steady and continued increase through the state of Pennsylvania with no evidence of being controlled, and Whereas, in the history of pre- vious epidemics the statistics show that in Pennsylvania there have been more cases in September than in the preceding months, and Whereas, the development of the disease in a new section of Lancas- ter, well removed from the original outbreak and showing no history of personal contact, indicates in con- nection with the three cases which have developed in the county that there is a definate local infection, therefore be it resolved by the Board of Health of Lancaster City that warning be given to the citizens of Lancaster that in order to prevent as far as possible the 0 epidemic, all children und€ ot sixteen years should be kept fro assembling / in crowds in public places, at “swimming pools, ete., un- | til the dangerous period ahead of us is passed. That the action of the Commissioner of Health in request- ing the closing of all private, parochial and public schools and the public attendance of children at fairs, etc., be heartily endorsed and that the health officer of the Board be instructed to see that these pro- visions are observed in the district under our control. That the health officer be also directed to instruct the quarantine to strict observance and enforcement of the regulations of the Board, and that the citizens of the town again be asked to co- perate to the full extent in remedy- any nuisances, cleaning of cutting of weeds and such itary measures, as tend to event further development of the ase in our midst.
