Citjr Phynk-lon Ptlklnften reported lost evening that IS new caiet of mea lc had developed during the day. tie state that there are possibly 100 case. In the city at the present time, and that the situation Is anything but re assuring. Of the cases which he dis covered yesterday nearly all are In the centra portion of the city, and as to the n timber of cases which may have developed during the day and not have been reported to him he is seriously In doubt. It appear that the people of the city are displaying anumial carelessness In the matter of reporting cojitaglou dls e;ise. with the result that the health authorities And It difficult to prevent spread of the disease which now Is prevvalent. It I a somewhat remark able circumstance that many persons welcome the disease to thrlr homes, because of their conviction that their children must certainly be taken down some time and that It Is better to have the trouble over with. Those persons seem t entertain absolutely no con sideration for their neighbors, and fre quently the quarantine regulations are disregarded. If people would report all cases of contagious disease, I would be satis fld," said Dr. Pllklngton last even ing. "The state law Is complete enough but the people will not obey It terms. Evidently it will become necessary, for us to make an example before can bring about proper observance of the law. and It is the Intention hereafter to cause the arrest of all persons vio lating the state law regulating con- ,tagloun disease. "The state law Includes measles In the lint of contagious diseases, and .the regulations must be observed In canos of menses as well as In scarlet fever or diphtheria cases. Xt provides a heavy fine, or Imprisonment, for failure lo report all cases of contagious dis ease, but despite its vigorous terms few ca?s were reported, The law pro vides further for the mnnner In which quarantine shall be placed on houses j In which Infectious disease exists, and It Is specifically stated that children living in such bouses can not go to school during the existence of the dis ease, and. Indeed, not until they have secured a health certificate from the attending physician after the quaran tine Is raised. I am told there Is an old school law which conflicts with the state law, but of course the state law replaces any of the school laws in this respect. "There Is no possible chance of stop ping the epidemic-unless all cases are promptly reported, and I look for an Increase In the number of cases If the law is disregarded as it has been In the past. The authorities will maintain close watch hereafter and arrests will certainly follow violations of the law. As to quarantines, the matter Is not an optionalOne with the local author ities. The law says they shall quar antine all cases of Infectious disease, and the ..terms of the law must be obeyed.!' "' ; . Dr. Pllklngton emphasized that chil dren must not leave quarantined homes 'during the prevalence of disease, and that, In all cases where children live in homes quarantined, health certificates must be secured, whether or not the children are 111, before they may re turn to school.
