Three state officials today are conducting a thorough survey of Cadillac in an effort to locate the source of the typhoid fever epidemic. The city commission may have a special meeting this evening to discuss any necessary steps which may be suggested by the Lansing officials who came here on the invitation of the city health authorities. The worse phase of the situation is the inability to definitely trace the source of the germs. The lake water is tested every week by the state and shows up satisfactorily. Most of the families with fever drink well water which might be contaminated but it would be queer if so many wells would become infected at the same time since the families having the cases are in different sections of the city. The local and state health men therefore generally incline to the theory that the milk supply is at fault and the local milk supply is being carefully scrutinized. E.D.

CADILLAC - Meet three area working moms who altogether have seven children in school, including one mom with triplets. They are all Cadillac Area Public School teachers.

All three are great role models for being a mo

Hodges, one of the poor superintendents, today. The matter was discussed in committee of the whole by the board last week although not brought directly to the attention of the poor commissioners. The new sewage disposal plant, plumbing and heating and lighting plant cost around $3,000. The supervisors appropriated $3,000 after the visit of physicians here, who addressed the board and told them what would be needed to get the state to send army patients here, thus giving the county a revenue for the institution. The construction costs were handled out of the poor fund because that was the only way to have the funds immediately available for paying labor and material accounts. The
