VACCINATION CENSUS
SHOWS INCREASE
Some interesting facta were revealed
bribe report of the vaocination com
mission to the city council, ThU com-
misdou wm appointed by the board of
health to cany out the compulsory
vaccination ordinance of the city coun
cil. .ft consisted of Dr*. Jenkins, Jar
rell and BooobeUa. They were in
atractad to taka the namee and addresses
of alt citizens and Mate whether or not
each was vaccinated, immnncs or ex
Tha doctors (pent considerable time
and did their work earefally. They
were paid a dollar an hour to their ser
vice*. Ittook them aomething over 1*6
boon to vaccinate 488 people, Dr. Jar-
reli 6Ui was HO, Dr. Jenkiua <80. Dr,
BoocbeUe, the city physician Who get*
a regular salary ot |S0 a month charged
855 extra for his aerTioea in the matter.
The doctors were paid 1188 for vaccina'
ting the people and taking the census,
while the vaonine points cost 825 more,
*" , * w **iT the total covt about 8190, not
quire 40 cents to eaob one vaccinated.
The centos taken by the doctors
while necessarily incomplete allows an
increased population of several hundred
for Thotnasville since the national oen
ana in i900. The physicians’ fig ores are
as follows
COLOHED.

~Total popnlatlon 6850.
Those pat in a ct-ss as Immnne have
been previously vaccinated or have had'
emslt-pox. Marshal Stephens, a man
who ought to know says that there are
atleast 1000 more people than the 6880
foand by the doctors. It would be vary
difficult to find all the colored pnpnlr-
lion, and the marshal saya the doctors
da not know where the city limits are.
Several ot those In tbo council chamber
stated that the doctors did not call on
tkem. So there can be no donbt of a
large Increase in ThomasvUlo'i popula
tion.
The Mayor states that the work done
has put the matter In hotter ehspe than
it has ever been before. It appears on
the report that the entire odored popu
lation save 33, hare either been vacd-
si vtod or are immune.
The consul book, will give valnable
In in cpidfixuio should
one break out, salt is atleast a partial
report of the towns citizenship. The
doctors took the census in pencil, and
City Clark Maclean will transfer so
much of it aa is legible to the book pre
pared for the purpose. At present there
are no cases of small-pox in Thomas
ville.
