This occurs each year in March. Since that point was reached this year 834 cases have been reported, 44 fewer than were reported in the corresponding period of 1948. More cases of polio were reported in 1948 than in any year since 1916. The year's total was 27,888.

In 1919 there were approximately 30,000 cases. Officials said California and Texas have reported the greatest numbers of cases. But last week the California cases declined from 18 to 15 and the Texas cases from 72 to 37. SUN.
