legislature Outlines -- The administration Program An estimated 8288 eases of influenza in Utah last week were reported Monday by Dr William M McKay acting state health commissioner as the epidemic originating on the Pacific coast swept parts "of Utah Making an estimate of the number of cases is difficult Dr McKay said because of the fact that physicians are called to care for a relatively small percentage of those who are ill “A survey of the larger schools of Salt Lake City and county” the health commissioner said “reveals the fact that from 20 to 50 per cent of the students are absent While many 'of these absences are due to the fact that students have temporary Christmas w'ork the great majority of t)em represent cases of influenza “A moderate estimate of the cases places the number in Salt Lake City at 5000 and between 2000' and 2500 in Salt Lake county- Provo city reports 500 cases while reports from local health officers and a check with the school officials of Ogden city and Weber county indicate that the epidemic has not as yet reached that area There are apparently number of counties in the state that have thus far escaped the epidemic” Although flu shot to new
