At the Board of Health meeting Dr. Liddy reported on his investigation of whooping cough cases. Mrs. Prokop had complained about having her house quarantined when other homes in the neighborhood had not be placarded. Dr. Liddy found that in the other cases no physician had been consulted and therefore no report made to the Board. All the homes were now quarantined, he reported. The Board, under Frank Scherer in the absence of Richard Keith, discussed better methods of enforcement of quarantine regulations. (Bristow)
