An official laat, made by Manager
Park Woodward and several mem bora

Friday proved to greatly aurpaaa even

The contract signed by Dr. Whitney,

must, after tho cleaning, bo able to
lift their guaranteed capacity. The teat
eaalty broke all prevloua records In
tho number of gallona of water lifted
by the pumps.
Tho two old 10,000,000 gallon pumps
which, when they were tried ten years
ago, lifted 19,374,140 gallona In twenty-
four hours, with Ihe same pressure, 115
pounds, pumped 21,940,240 gallons, or
an Increasa of 2,672,096 gallons, Friday.
When tested July 6, 1905, these

fore cleaning the pipe the new 20,000,-

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.

iroprtatlon usually too limited and lu
unction mostly advisory. 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

that smallpox ran be prevented and
consumption cured, then would our
