• Due to the rising totals of new cases and deaths, stricter precautions were enacted in Portland yesterday. Streetcars and stores are the main foci of the new orders. • The number of passengers allowed on streetcars at one time is limited. Seventy passengers is the maximum allowed on larger cars; for smaller cars, the limit is 45. Overall, "good judgment" is the guiding principle. Car operators have more authority to enforce this order. Streetcars should be "swept, dusted, and sprayed" daily. Two windows in each car should be left open to provide ventilation.• Sales are not allowed in stores. Any attempt to attract crowds is also not allowed. • Mayor Baker ordered the additional precautions when he learned that "Portland residents are not living up to the spirit of the closing order."• Cars will probably be removed from lines in compliance with the order that only essential trips be taken. • More than 120 streetcar employees are sick. The President of the carmen's union, R. Walker, asked the Mayor and Dr. Parrish if a hospital should be established for the sick carmen. Both responded that, at least for the present, the Auditorium emergency hospital can accommodate their cases. • The City Commissioners appropriated an additional $2,500 for use in "outfitting" the emergency hospital. There is now a total of $5,000 to fund the hospital. • Several patients have been discharged from the emergency hospital and diagnosed as "cured." There are currently 160 patients in the hospital. • The heating ordinance prepared by Commissioner Barbur and City Attorney La Roche will be considered by the City Commissioners today. • Statistics from around the state provided. • Names of the recently deceased reported, along with dates of death, age, occupation, and address. ; Newspaper article ; 18
