Show I in itiu Diphtheria Sa"lt Lake C;tt April ZO, 1S79. 1 Editors Uirah; j It is reported that to morrow at 2 p.m. tbe bc-dy of a child that died f.-vm d'phtherU is to be taken tu the Ninth Ward schoolhouse, where funeral services are to be held over it. I., it, utdr ordinary circumstances, cir-cumstances, would be perfectly right, but for one thing, viz : the ranee of the death. Li it or is it not right to take infections diseases into the public meeting houses of the city? And above ail, is it right to hold public funerals over the bodies of persons that hive died trom contagious dis eases? thus giving the disease an opportunity op-portunity to spread. In the name ot j conscience and common good, what is our City Council or the quarantine quaran-tine (?) physician doing to allow such things? Will tbey it calmly down and allow infectious and fatal diseases to be cpread in our city, while the town ol Provo, with live, sensible officers, offi-cers, refuBFS to allow the body e( a person that died from diphtheria in thia city to bn taken ben-e to Provo over the Utah Southern Railroad? Can not we be as wise? or must we, like the "loose cow" nuisance, grin and bear it? It is lime something definite was done in this regard. X. |
