gcod showing against Quincy nigh last

CO. COMMISSIONERS
MET EAST TUESDAY
BOARD ENDORSES SANITATION
MEASURE FOR GRADY
COUNTY.
«The Board of County Commissioners
0 f G rady county, in regular session
i as t Tuesday, heartily endorsed the
county-wide sanitation regulations of
tfi e Tri-County Health Unit and the
regulations will be put into effect tu
this county at an early date,
Grady county thus makes another
progressive step, in view of the great
V 'alue of the regulations toward pre
venting the spread of disease, and in
view of the fact that this is the first
county in the state to adopt the reg
ulations as prescribed by the U. S
Public Health Service and the Geor
gj a Board of Health. The regulations
a ] s0 have the approval of other local
foodies and physicians.
The regulations deal chiefly with the
c ;j g p 0sa ] 0 f human excreta and pro
vide only the approved plans for such,
The spread of so many contagious dis
eases ] s attributed to lack of the prop
er facilities for such disposal and
marked improvement along this line
is anticipated.
Tt is understood that Decatur coun
ty followed Grady’s action closely and
that the regulations will be put into
effect there at once.
Considerable attention was given
by the County Commissioners Tuesday
to the construction of permanent brid
ges here. A policy of steadily replae
ing the small wooden structures with
steel and concrete bridges has been
followed for some time, but the Com
missioners are anxious to find a more
economical plan of building them than
has been in practice, heretofore. Sev
eral faults have developed in the pres
ent plan, and pending the finding of
$ better one, the Work is likely to be
suspended. The office of bridge en
gineer was abolished Tuesday, notice
having been served on Engineer W.
H. Thames that his services would not
be needed longer. Just what course
will be followed in the future with ref
erence to building bridges is yet tc
be worked out.
The matter of obtaining an increase
ir. the depository bonds of the three I
it there was discussed and it was de- •
cided that the banks would be asked
for depository bonds of $50,000 apiece.
Other matters considered Tuesday
were of a minor nature.

wrecked machine, but assistance ar
rived a very short time after the ac

sustained serious internal injuries.
She breathed only a few seconds af
ter she was taken from the wreck

married soon, as the girl wore a dia
mond when the mishap occurred. The
girl was very attractive looking and
both are of prominent West Florida
families.

occurring there, though no one was
seriously hurt.
Improvement Expected
In Mosquito Situation
The much-talked-of Florida
cane recently brought a record-break
ing rainfall to this section and the
rainfall, coming at the season it did,
brought many mosquitoes, Rather
general complaints have come from all
parts of the city during the past two
weeks because of the menace.
But the city authorities redoubled
their efforts to check the breeding of
the pests, and early improvement in
the situation is expected. In fact, the
situation has improved somewhat du
ring the past few days.
The city maintains a regular mo
squito squad but the recent heavy
rains brought about a situation that
the regular force could not cope with
promptly.
Efficient work has been carried on
along this line for several years.
