Morgan, of Augu«ta, read before the recent meeting of the Muni cipal I/cague, held In that city, an In teresting and Instructive paper on the necessity of sanitation In the smaller (ties and towns and the best methods for bringing It about. The paper aroused earnest discussion and was the subject of a great deal of comment The full text of the paper follows: Mr. President Member.- nf tb** League: 1 thank, you sincerely for the genuine pleasure an.l useful informa tion derived from attending tills nutt ing. Many subjecth of vital import ance and universal interest to every municipality will be ably discussed and elucidated at this session. The results of your careful progressive delibera tions cunnot fall to be helpful to every city, town anti village In Georgia. I congratulate you on the splendid work done and the progressive plans suggested for further Improvement In municipal affairs. The material inter ests id our cities must of necessity stride to the forefront with such faith ful, tip to ddte officials In tho lead. Of Paramount Importance. While all of tills Is true, and ciearly foretells continued and convincing prosperity foy our grand old common wealth. still the subject of paramount Importance to any and all munlclpall- tlen the one, perhaps, most often neg lected, but the chief factor In the pro motion of Individual happiness and ina- terlal prosperity—is municipal sanita tion. Without proper sanitary regulations the health of a community must suf- f»r. Without health, happiness be comes Impossible and prosperity Im probable. Sanitary science offers to every < immunity the only safe and permanent foundation upon which to build a great city or town. No people r where disease can flourish and prosper where t and death have unbridled sway. The highest duty that can * ■ • i -- ed upon any form or grade of govern ment is to protect and safeguard the health and lives of Its citizens. There fore, aside from the plain duty that all governments owe tho people they gov- ern, municipal sanitation becomes a necessity, as the principal agent In the material advancement and cortunerclml prosperity of a community. Factor In Civilization. Municipal sanitation is a prime fac tor In modern civilization. It has been made to mean anything from dlggln a ditch to building a crematory, and has an unlimited field for labor, In viting and Important alike to ths masses and the classes. Tet, a prop er definition Is easy. Municipal sani tation means simply the prevention of preventable diseases. This would be Ideal municipal sanitation. Very many causes nperato to retard nnrl prevent the attainment of the Ideal, but the nearer we approach it the bet ter we meet our obligations to the peo ple, and the greater the protection to the public health. Tho first and chief step In the prevention of preventable diseases Is thorough municipal cleanli ness. We are aroused to activity and ap prehension when some well known ln- tensely Infectious disease Invades out city, and we Isolate and vaccinate. We prescribe drugs and puncture with serums; we screen our houses, kill mosquitoes and quarantine In most cases of this kind. Wa usually act In hasto without adequate preparation or proper organization, and do many wise Municipal sanitation Is a prime factor in modern civili zation. It simply means the preven tion of all preventable diseases. Tuberculosis kills Its hun dreds where yellow fever slays Its tens and typhoid fever sends more victims to the grave In one year than smallpox does In a decade. Every Incorporated township should . Immediately organize a local board of health. First duty of health boards Is to see that drinking water Is pure.* Bolling Is safest and best. Closed sewer Is best means of sewerage and they should empty below the source of water supply. Cleanliness and pure water for cows are Imperative to se cure pure milk. No stagnant water should be allowed. People must realize necessity for new methods In municipal sanitation. 0000 000 000 000000000 the other hand, when certain which the public do not acknowledge to be Infectious, decimates our towns, cities and villages. It Is the custom to do absolutely nothing. Tuberculosis Worse Then Yellow Jqek. Tuberculosis kills Its hundreds where yellow fever slays Its tens, and typhoid 'ever sends more victims to the grave In one year than smallpox does In a Epidemics, while dangerous, are not nearly so deadly as the Infectious dis eases we have in our resffectlve locali ties. Vaccination to prevent smallpox Is proper and necessary, but not a whit more so than the destruction of the mosquito by screening of your house, to avoid malaria. It was said that the chief agent In the prevention of preventable diseases was municipal cleanliness. Sanitary cleanliness Is unknown and Impossible without a properly organized competent local board of health. You cannot depend on a .state board of health; It Is too far away.

A county board will not meet the exacting re quirements of municipal sanitation, be cause conditions are so es sent tally dif ferent. A condition which might be eanltary In the county would be dan- geroue to health In the city. Local Boards of Health. Every Incorporated township ehould Immediately organise a local board of health. No department of city govern ment Is more necessary and none so Important to the public health. Put your best clttsens on the board.- which ehould always Include ooe or more physicians. The education and Incli nation of a physician peculiarly flu him for this kind of work. Laymen, while honest end earnest have proven fail ures as health officers. Be as liberal as your means will afford to your health board. However willing and competent they may be, they can make no senltary reforms without the expen diture of money. . If the public health Is worth any thing. then the board must have the proper morel, legal and financial sup port necessary to safeguard the same. With an organised board of health, the ways and means furnished munici pal sanitary cleanliness can be accom plished, and In no other way. Pure Drinking Water. The first duty of any health board Is > see that the drinking water la pure. In the large cities modem filler plants solve this problem, with reasonable safety. The best filter plants will entirely re- ’ move turbidity and from 66 to 9* per cent of bacteria from drinking water. And so long aa the plant Is kept In per fect order danger to the public health from this source Is reduced to a mini mum. plants are found to be too expensive that the greatest danger from contami nated water la found. Here eternal vigilance la the price of health and life. It Is not enough to see that the main stream which supplies the drinking wnter Is uncontaminated, but that all streams feeding It are likewise kept pure anrl wholesome. Cauie of Typhoid Fever. The infection of water produces more typhoid fever than all other causes combined. The town of Plymouth, Pn., directly traced 1,200 cases of this much dreaded fever to a single case on the banks of one of the streams that fur* Dished Its water supply. Well water may be cool and palat* able, but In many a village, town and hamlet It Is as dangerous os dyna mite, and as deadly as cholera. The older the town the grenter Ilnblllty of Infection to Its well water. Rprlng water also esn easily become a fertile source of typhld fever Infection, Tlio land abovo and on tic sides <>r spring—used to supply drinking water —should be carefully protected from the danger of all sewerage, 111-flltra- tton and consequent contamination. Should there bo raasoiiniii*- certainty, or even strong suspicion, that the water has become Infected, all used for drink ing purposes from strennis or springs should be boiled until the water supply has had time to purify Itself. In tho meantime seek fbr the source of Infcc* tton. and correct It. If the water comes from a well the well should bo filled up at once and tho supply obtained else- wliere. Well wilier for drinking pur poses inu«t 1*0 like I'aesar's wife, above suspicion. Various small filtering devices for household use are sanitary If carefully ■ Irunrd ench d.'iv. mu hulling Is safest and best, If there be danger In tho water. Sewerage Must ba 8afa. While It Is Imperative for every town and village to get rid of the sew erage and garbage, they must bo con veyed to some place where they can not endanger the drinking water, net only of the people, but the milch cows os well. Cows drinking Infected water can cause a widespread epidemic of typhoid fever. The best lllelhnd **f relieving a town of Its sewerage Is by means of (he closed sewer Bystem. Terra eotta pipes of large else being employed for this purpose. This plan Is rather expensive at first, but much the cheapest In the long run. Wood sewers, either open or closed, soon rot, and leak, and not only produce bad odors, but constant danger. They nre but one degree better than open ditches. Sewers should empty at some point below all the aourcee of the water eupply, at far from the town as practicable, and always. If possible. In a free running body of water. Burning I* Cheapest. The cheapest way for a small town to dispose of Its garbage Is to cart It to a convenient dump pile, In the moet unused part of the suburbs, away from any source of water supply, and there burn It. Under no circumstances al low It to accumulate In your beck yerde, vacant lote, streets or on tho borders of the town. If you do It will contaminate the atmosphere, breed mosquitoes and produce disease. Stagnant water Is always Insanitary and should never be allowed In a town or near It. Children will almoat In variably drink It, and milk cowe al ways, besides. It Is the natural breed ing place of every variety of mosqui toes. No municipal sanitation Is complete which fella to remdey this dangerous evil. It the stagnant body of water Is large, drain It by ditches or sewers: if small, either drain It, or cover It regularly with kerosene. No better disposition ran be made of the ashes of a town than to fill these pools after they have been drained. To Secure Pure Milk. If we are to have pure milk for our children, the aged end Invalids, It Is necessary that ell cow stalls and dai ries shall be kept scrupulously clean and the cows furnished pure drinking water. No hogs should be kept with in the corporate limits of any city, town or village. All houses should be built high enough from the ground to afford free ventilation undernsath. Then this allows one to clean under the house and keep It sanitary. If possible every house should be thoroughly screened. This will prevent the en trance of mosquitoes and files—the two common carriers of disease. The decreased expense for physlcsns and medicines will pay for the screening In s short time. If ecreene are too expensive, then sleep under nets from spring till frost: While all of this Is neceaary In mu- nllcpel sanitation. In order to prevent dtaeaee. yet you can not accomplish It m a day or wreck. The people have to all gradually and a>etlently be edu cated up to such methods. Necessity for Nsw Methods. No advance can be expected In pub lic affairs until the people ere brought to realise the desirability and. there fore, necessity, for changes In old and well established rules and customs. < If communities could be brought fo Understand that health officers and health board have posltvely proven that smallpox ran be prevented and consumption cured, then would our health authorities receive that In fluence and co-operation which their office and works so richly merit?
