which will be taken, is the starting of
a campaign agamst dirt and mm.
The street department will help in
the execution of the plan, by proclaim-
ing another “cleanup week." whereby
the citizens can rid them'ielves of
some of the excess dirt which has ac-
cumulated in the streets of the city.
The health department, through
Health Officer Dr. William J. Tracey,
has been unusually busy for the past
few days, receiving calls in regs-rd to
visitors from New York. especially
children. who are coming from the
city into 5th town. The health of-
ficer advises in all such instances.
that the children from New York he
kept absolutely isolated from the rest
of the Yumily, and that wherever
possible, the residents of Norwalk
should cancel all dates with visitors
from the metropolis. .
The school nurse will also get busy
in a few days, and make an inspoo
tion of many homes in the pits in
order that at the first gig: of the
disease, precautionary methods maybe
taken. -
Norwaik has profited by her exper-
lence of a number of years ago, with
the scourge. and the city departmencs
and officials are undertaking to do
everything in their power to prevent
the outbreak of the epidemic in this
city. '

and some are turning back all chil-
dren from New York city. Paterson.
the disease. has excluded all children
no matter from whence they come. it
was announced there that five hundred
children from New York city already
have been deported.
The State Health Department, at
Albany. has called the attention of the
New York authorities to complaints
from upstatecommunities that. chil'
dren believed to be from infected dis-
tricts here are being sent to other
parts of the state. The department
announced that nine cases of infantile
paralysis up state were children from
Brooklyn.
Warning is given here that viola-
tions of the section of the sanitary
code providing that laymen must re-
port cases of suspected infantile p‘ar-
alysis an'd other‘corumunlcabie dis«
eases, to the Department of Health,
will be severely punished. The max-
imum penalty for this offence is one
year’s imprisonment and $500 fine.
The city magistrates are cooperat-
ing with the police nfid health author-
ities in the fighl against the epidemic.
It is estimated that more than Eire
housand persons were lined yesterday
for violations ‘of the sanitary, code.
Most of the offendlh threw gar-bags

covered or in other way broke the rules
for keeping the city clean, which now
