The lower part of the house is co

they confined their children to the
yard for a few weeks.
The child's condition is not serious
and with the treatment accorded by
Dr. Bradley should recover rapidly.
The need of an Isolation Hospital
was never felt more than today. Thc
most stringent of precautions must
be taken in an infantile paralysis case,
and at present the small building at
Naramuke Faro; used as' a temporary
hospital. is not large enough to ac-
commodate the cases of this disease
which have broken~ out in this city.
Because of the over-crowded .condi-
tion of the Isolation Hospital, Dr.
Tracey thought it best to confine the
child to its home and not move it to
the hospital: .
Health Officer Tracey also reported
that five cases of typhoid fever had
broken out in the\Cltildren‘s Home, on

Gregory is attending the children. All
the sources from which the disease
could arise will be investigated by flee

opinions are of special interest to!
cities in the state that may be" con-Z

berlain’s first question refers to the
scope of the rights to which private
bankers are entitled. The treasurer
asks if the owner of such a bank is euv
titled "to establish and conduct pastel
noes as a private bank in more than;
one place or town.” Mr. Hinmau dis-.
cusses the caning of the term “bank"!
and says i is either applied to anI
associatim or corporation authorizedt
to do a banking business or to theI
office where the business is done. Hei
says tho‘etatute has reference to theI
place of business rather than to the
grin. person, or corporation engaged
, it. The attorney-general was there-
fore of the opinion that the security
which the law requires should be de-
posited tn each omce or place in
which the business of a private bank
is carried on. . ' - ,
The next question refers to testifies
companies which engage the,buei-
none of receiving money ortfoi‘ward-
