Dear Sir: We have learned that someone has circulated a story in your territory to the effect that the smallpox situ- ation in Detroit was serious enough to make some of your people doubt- ful as to whether or not they world make the trip to Detroit on the Greyhound, June 1015. You need have no hesitancy in publishing a story to the effect that the smallpox situation is absolutely tinderthe control of the Board of Health of the city of Detroit. There have been recently only a 'very few new cases certain he confined to a andthey are area.The situation at no time has . been considered serious s enough to put a quarantine in effect. on the ferry service between Detroit and Windsor, and appro4imately 12,000•people are moving both ways across river daily, the ri r without re- strictions of any kind, which would not be if the authorities on both sides of tine river were not fully . satisfied that there was no danger of con- tagion. As a matter of fact,.. more than 500,000 people have been vac- cinated in the last few weeks, and recently they have been vaccinating about 50,000 persons daily, which leads the Commissioner -of Public Health to state that the epidemic, if at any time it could have been called such, will be' absolutely stamped out, or confined to the present cases within the next. week. Strenuous measures have been -taken to ac- complish this, and no -expense has been spared in establishing vaccina- tion stations in all parts ' of the city. On Thursday last, the White Star Line had the 'Public Health Com- missioner furnished sufficient 'dodtors and nurses to vaccinate every em- ployee of this company, so that all who ride on our steamers may feel that there is no possibility' o'fcoming: in contact with a single person who ltas'not been properly vaccinated. Never at any -time, or in any city, have such vigorous and -energetic measures been taken by -the: authori- ties to eradicate all signs of the danger e .of the P r spread of the disease, Will you kindly -publish this letter in your paper so that 'those who have heard anything, of the rumor mentioned, may understand the situ- ation as it exists.
