his formation for battle and hi generals in the various fields of the hog-war in the following interview: At a meeting of the county board of -health the sanitation of the suburbs was discussed- anti plans adopted for the purpose of better sanitation The territory in the suburbs will be divided and managers appointed for the different divisions 'The first division will -extend front the Georgia line to East Lake It Kelly has been appointed to manage that territory The setond divisiou will extend from East Lake to High street in Ridgedale- Mr Lavern will manage that section 'The- third

Elmo Mr Hamill will have charge of that division The eishth and Hist will include Alton Park Mr Tar-yin will look after that section plan is to inaugurate a scientific scavenger system by which the open closets in the suburbs can be kept in sanitary condition The closets will be cleaned every ten days during the hot months and every fifteen days or twice a month during the winter We have established a card system so the business can the kept in a systematic form etc The management will use sanitary wagons for the scavenger service The people will only be asked to pay the small sum of cents a month for such service 'While explaining our plan for the cleaning of Closets: etc I want to warn the people who have heretofore been feeding hogs in pens in the thickly settled parts of our suburbs that this will no longer be tolerated by the board of health and not to be compelled to damage anyone financially I will make this statement for if you attempt to keep hogs in Pens so as to create a nuisance which is Always the case you will be asked to film them out of the pens and by so doing might damage those who have embarked in the business To those living in the thickly settled portions I will advise you not to embark in the hog enterprise this coming summer To those who are now feeding bogs in pens and lots your neighbors have already been sending in complaints from the different suburbs and I will ask you to dispose of your present stock in pens for with the approach Of warmer weather they will create a nuisance that must be exterminated suburbs are rapidly growing and as we have no sewerage connection in justice to all who live in the thickly srttled portions we must have better sanitation for the- protection of health and also comfort We have continually in our suburbs case after case of diphtheria and scarlet fever and also some cases of typhoid and we will continue to have until all solonts are put in a better sanitary condition All will remember when but a few years ago yellow fever began to spread in some of our southern towns bow busy our health authorities became and grLat the alarm when it was lefirtled that it would take months to put our city in anythine like a sanitary condition And had not It been for the faithful work of our local physicians and striet rplorantine regala-1 tion by not allowing any cases to enterl our city we certainly would -have had an epidemic here for the surroundings were favorable "The time to oreoare for war is in time of peace and this adage holds good when applied to health As president of the county board of health I expect to use my utAwst efforts to establish better sanitation in the suburbs and hope I may have the support of all who believe in sanitation and who are interested in the growth and development of our city?
