Show MANTI, SAM'ETE COUNTY. The following was reoeived two or three days ago, but acoidently got out of sight. It is not too late yet, however, to give it publication: Manti City, April 2, 1873. Ed'tors Herald: Will jou allow mo sufficient space in the columns of tho Herald, to disabuse disa-buse the public mind in regard to the health of this placo? It has been currently reported, both north and south, that tho majority of our people are down with the small-pos; small-pos; the result of which report is, that out-side business with Manti is almost ' if not entirely suspended. The facts aro briefly these: There have been two eascB of small poz in Manti, both of which were oontraotcd in Moroni, about one month since. Both of these oases are now well, and there oan bo no possiblo danger of the disease spreading spread-ing from that source. Tho health of Manti was never hptter llirin it: in tn-dav. thrrft hninp not a case of sickness of any kind within its limits; and persons from other settlements, set-tlements, who wish to transact business in or pass through the place, oan do so with perfect safety. It will be necessary, neces-sary, however, for persona from in-feoted in-feoted districts, to prooure certificates of health from the proper authority, beforo they will bo permitted to enter or pass through tho city. Much credit is due to our city council coun-cil for its prompt action in looking after the sanitary condition of our streets and ditches; and also for the immediato enactment and enforcement of strict quarantine regulations, all of which have doubtless contributed much to prevent the spread of this loathe-some loathe-some disease. I understand that tho disease is now under oontrol in tho northern settlements settle-ments of this county, and I think by a strict observance of quarantine regulations, regula-tions, and the uso of a little common sense, it will soon disappear from our midst. Yours, respectfully. b R. Kenneb. |
