It was said that the matter is
serious and, instead of merely de-ciding
UiaL there is an epidemic,
something should be done to pre-vent
its further spread. So the
organization resolved to put the
matter ub to the village board and
demand strict enforcement of the

the duty of the police department
to enforce it, cither by serving

It was resolved also to request
the village board to keep the vil-lage
