IMPERATIVE NEED OF EFFECTIVE SANITATION Dr. J. B. Morgan's Powerful Pa per Before the Municipal League at Augusta. Dr. J. B. Morgan, of Augusta, read before the recent meeting of the Munf- Ipal League, held In that city, an fn- terentlng and Instructive pat>er on the lircc.-ulty of sanitation In the smaller cities and towns and tbe best methods bringing It about. The paper aroused earnest discussion and waa the subject of a great deal cf comment. The full text of the paper follows: Mr. I'l-I H|.|.-nt an-1 Member* * * f He- Laaguo: I thank you sincerely for the genuine pleasure and useful Informa tion derlveif from attending this meet ing. Many subjects of vital Import ance and universal Interest to every municipality will be ably discussed and elucidated at 'his session. The results ur careful progressive delibera tions cannot fall to be helpful to every city, town and village In Georgia. 1 congratulate you on the splendid fork done and the progressive plans suggested for further Improvement In municipal affairs. The material Inter ests of our cities must of necessity strldo to the forefront with such faith ful, up to date officials In the lead. Of Paramount Importance. While all of I Ills is true, and clearly foretells continued .and convincing prosperity for our grand old common wealth, still the subject of paramount Importance to any and nil municipali ties—the one, perhaps, most often neg lected, but the chief factor In the pro motion of Individual happiness and ma terial prosperity—Is municipal sanita tion. without proper sanitary regulations tho health of a community must suf fer. With.ml health, happiness h.-- . "ini-' impossible and prosperity Im probable. Sanitary (dance offers to every community tbs only safe and permanent foundation upon which to build a gnat city or town. No people ran flourish and prosper where disease and death have unbridled sway. The highest duty that can be Impos ed upon nny form or grade of govern ment Is to protect and safeguard the health and lives of Its cltlxena. There fore, aside from the plain duty that all governments owe the people they gov ern, municipal sanitation become* a necessity, aa the principal agent In the material advancement and commercial prosperity of a community. Factor In Civilization. Municipal sanitation Is a prime fac tor In modern civilization. It has J>een made to mean anything from dlggtn n ditch to building a crematory, and hns an unlimited fleld for labor. In viting and Imp..riant alike to the massos and tho rlasses, Tet, a prop er definition Is easy. Municipal sani tation means simply the prevention of all preventable disease*. This Would be Ideal municipal sanitation. Very many causes operate to retard end prevent tho attainment of the Ideal, but the nearer we approach U tha bet. ter we mrdt our obligations to the peo. pie, nnd the greater tho protection to the public health. The flrst and chief step In the prevention of preventable diseases la thorough municipal cleanll neas. We are aroused to activity nnd ap prehension when some-well known In tensely Infectious disease Invades our city, nnd we Isolate nnd vaccinate. W# prescribe drugs nnd puncture with serums: we screen our houaea, kill mnaqultoea and quarantine In moat rases of thla kind. We usually act In haste without adequate preparation or proper organization, and do many wl*e and a great many fooltah things. On the other hand, when certain diseases which the public do not acknowledge to be Infectious, decimates our towns, cities and villages, ll la the custom to do absolutely nothing. Tuberculosis Wors* Than Yellow Jack. Tuberculosis kills Its hundreds where yellow fevef alaye Its tens, and typhoid fever sends more victims to the grave In one year than smallpox does In a decade. Epidemics, while dangerous, are not nearly so deadly as the Infectious dls- Mtses we have In our respective locali ties. Vaccination to prevent smallpox Is proper and necessary, but not a whit more so than th* destruction of tha mosquito by screening of your house, to avoid malaria. It waa said that the chief agent In the prevention of preventable diseases waa municipal cleanliness. Sanitary cleanliness Is unknown and Impossible without a properly organised competent local board of health. You cannot depend on a state board of health; It la too far away. Its ap- tropriatlon usually too limited and Its 'unction mostly advisory. A county board will not meet th* exacting re quirement* of municipal sanitation, be cause conditions are so essentially dif ferent. A condition which might be sanitary In the county would be dan gerous to health In the city. Local Boards of Haalth. Every Incorporated township ahould Immediately organise a local board of health. No department of city govern ment la more necessary and none so Important to the public health. Put your best cltlxena on tha board, which ahould always include one or more physician*. The education and Incli nation of a physician peculiarly fits him for this kind of work. Laymen, while honeet and earnest have provan fail ure* aa haalth officer*. Be aa liberal aa your means will afford to your health board. However willing and competent they may be, they can make no sanitary reforms without the expen diture of money. If the public health I* worth any thing, then the board must have th* proper moral, 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 b* accom plished, and In no other way. Pure Drinking Water. The first duty of any health board Is > see that thr drinking water le pure. In the large cities modern Alter plants solve this problem, with reasonable safety. The beat Alter plants will entirely re move turbidity and from ft to 96 per cent of bacteria from drinking water. And so long as th* plant la kept In per fect older danger to the public health from this source Is reduced to a mini mum. It la In the smaller towns where Alter Municipal sanitation is a prim© 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 nnd typhoid fever sends more victims to tho grave In one year than smallpox does In a decade. Every incorporated towrnship should Immediately organize* a local board of health. First duty of health boards la to ae© that drinking water Is pure. Bolling is safest and beat. 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- y cure pure milk. No stagnant water should be allowed. People must realize necessity for new methods In municipal sanitation. NEW GAS PLANT ASKS FRANCHISE OFFERS ILLUMINATION A7 RATE OF 80 CENTS. Council Committee Referi Pet! tion to Committee on Streeti. 3 0000000000000000000 plants are found to be too expensive that the greatest danger from contami nated water Is fbund. Here eternal vigilance is the price of health and life. It Is not enough to see that the main sr 11 -: 1111 which -upi.ll.s tho drinking water Is uncontamlnated. but that ef streams feeding it are likewise kept pure and wholesome. Cause of Typhoid Fever. The Infection of water produce* more typhoid fever than all other causes combined. The town of Plymouth, Po., directly traced 1,200 cases of thla much dreaded fever to a single case on the banka of one of the streams that fur nished 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 greater liability of infection to Its well water. Spring water also can easily become a fertile source of typhld fever Infection. The land above and on ‘the sides of spring—used to supply drinking water —should be carefully protected from the danger of all sewerage, ill-flltra- tlon and consequent contamination. Should there be reasonable certainty, or even strong suspicion, that the water has become Infected, all used for drink ing purposes from streams or springs should be boiled until the water supply has had time to purify Itself. In the meantime seek for the Bourco of tnfee tlon and correct It. If the water comes from a well the well should be (Hied up at once and the supply obtained else where. Well water for drinking pur poses must be like Caesar’s wife, stws suspicion. Various small Altering devices household use are sanitary If carefully cleaned each day. But boiling la safest and beat, If there be danger In the water. . • Sewerage Must bs 8afs. While It la Imperative for every town and village to get rid of the sew erage and garbage, they must be con veyed to aome place where they can not endanger the drinking water, not only of the people, but tho milch cows as well. Cows drinking Infected water can cause a widespread epidemic of typhoid fever. The best method of relieving a town of Its sewerage is by means of' the closed sewer system. Terra cotta pipe* of large sice being employed for this purpose. This plan Is rather expensive at ArsL but much the cheapest In the long run. Wood sewers, either open or closed, soon rot, nnd leak, and not only produce bad odors, but constant danger. They are but one degree better than open ditches. Sewers should empty at some point below all the sources of the water supply, aa far from the town as practicable, and always, If possible. In a free running body of water. Burning is CheapasL The cheapest way for a small town to dispose of Its garbage Is to cart It to a convenient dump pile, In the moat unused part of tba suburbs, away from any source of water supply, and there burn It. Under no circumstances al low It to accumulate In your back yards, vacant lota, streets or on the borders of the town. If you do It will contaminate the atmosphere, breed mosquitoes and produce disease. Stagnant water la always Insanitary and should never be allowed In a town or-near It. Children will almost In variably ilrlnk It, and milk cow* al ways, besides, tt Is the natural breed ing place of every variety of mosqui to#*. No municipal sanitation la complete which fails to remdey this dangerous evil. If tbe stagnant body of water la large, drain It by ditches or sewers; If email, either drain It, or cover It regularly with kerosene. No better disposition can be made of the ashes of a town than to All these pools after they have been drained. To Sscur* Pur# Milk. If we are to have pure milk for our children, the aged and Invalids. It Is necessary that all 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 th* ground to afford free ventilation underneath. Then thl* allows one to clean under the house and keep tt sanitary. If possible every house should be thoroughly screened. This will prevent the en trance of mosquitoes and Ales—the two common carriers of disease. The decreased expense for phyalcana and medicines wttl pay for the screening In a short time. If screens are too expensive, then sleep under nets from spring tilt frost. While all of this Is necesary In mu- nllcpal sanitation, tn order to prevent disease, yet you can not accomplish It In a day or week. Th# people have to alt gradually and eatlentty be edu cated up tn such methods. Necessity for New Methods. No advance can be expected In pub lic affairs until the' people are brought to realise th* desirability and. there fore, necessity, for changes In old and well established rules and customs. If communities could be brought to understand that health officers and health board have positvely proven that smallpox can be prevented and consumption cured, then would our health authorities receive that In- Auence and co-operation which their office and works so richly merit? Every township In ..ur state should ble re have Its b* altli L—rd and its health I From the petition of the Southern flag Osmpouy. the new enterprise which applied for charter some weeks sbo. and from At- tornsy Napier's statement Hint the concern was n boon IMe one, it looks as thousb Atlanta "111 hove a competitor to tho com pany which now holds tho monopoly „n sns.
