Cases of Spanish Influenza Reported By Doctors \u2014Business Before Municipal Council.* COATICOOK.Oct.9\u2014 (Special)\u2014 «Perhaps the principal business done *1 the session of the Council of Co-JBticook held this week was the decision of the Council to close ai) schools moving-picture shows, pool-rooms, ¦end other public meeting* where a icrowd would congregate.This action iwas really not necessary in a way fcecause the Health Committee of the {Council had called together the evening previous, representatives of the pchool boards and the doctors of the ftonw with a view of discussing the fcituatior.and deciding upon measures Ibo be taken.At this meeting the rep-jr-ser ta tires of the school board:, stat-eu that the schools, both French and Engûsh, including the convent, would l>e closed on Monday and tin.- wa» >ione.The picture-shows and the pool-rooms have also beer, closed, and it Bi not likely that there will be any parge public gatherings in the town jUntil the epidemic is overcome.Judging from the reports of the local physicians \u2018here are :-,ome four hundred cases under the care of the doctors Perhaps there are fully as Snany.if not more, cases in the country parts as in the town itself.Most cf the cases are not serious, although the tendency seems to be now for 'hern to be more serious \u2019ban in the ¦eginning.Thus far only one or two leaths have taken pia'-e in Ooati- eook.Byelaws Passed.In addition to the action taken regarding the grippe, by-laws of some ' importance were passed by the council.Under the existing regulations, the butchers have not the right to ! take orders or deliver meat.This was changed by by-law which now gives them the right to solicit orders outside the market of their place of business and to make deliver}\u2019 of the 1 meat throughout the municipality.The license bylaw imposing taxes upon deferrent trades and business by means of license was changed in 1 regard to persons coming into town to dispose of bankrupt stocks or other-stock of goods.There has been an attempt to evade the present by-law on the ground that men coming into town to dispose of these stocks claimed that they were coming here per-ir.anentiy to become traders, but after disposing of theis stocks went away without paying any more taxes than could be imposed upon the regular traders of the town.This will be prevented in the future by the change in the by-law.Another by-law was passed regarding sewers.At the present time the Council proceeds to build a sewer when they are asked by petition by the owners or.the stree: who agree to pay one half the cost thereof.Unless the owners wish the sewer to be -built and ask for it the Corporation cannot compel them to pay anything towards the expense.By the new by-law just passed the corporation has the power to build this sewer and then assess the owners of the property along the street according to the valuation of the property although, in the case of building lots the amount of the sessment will be paid upon double the valuation of the lot according to the roil.Several minor items of business were disposed of and the session was adjourned until the first Monday of next month.PRECAUTION Mankipa] Couneil and Health Board Take Step* to Combat Spread cf Influenza\u2014About 40 Cases in Town.TWENTY THS ASBESTOS MA we U/vW-\tix fi ray » ! frmrvCoaM.ioCotx/A 1
