I have hoped and hoped that a way might with honor have been found to keep out of the war, giving our help and strength and uplift in other ways and that we need not have-been called upon to cast the manhood of America into this fearful earnage, but it was filled in for the sum of $1,000.

Tn ‘addition to taking care of the ponds and swamps it is necessary that receptacles which contaln stagnant water be either screened or the wa- ter drained from them. In most of our cities a week known as clean-up week is observed by the citizens for the pur- pose of ridding their premises of rub- gish and filthy material which breeds fiies or other disease carrying Insects. This custom is followed here during the last week in May but In my opinion the work should be under- taken the first week of the same month in order to head off the propagation of these disease distributors.

The work of guarding the city re- quired many assistants and I hereby express my thanks to these men who lived up to the confidence placed in em. The fine spirit of co-operation and the patience which was shown by the citizens were of the utmost aid to the healtli department during this critical period. The police department ren- dered very valuable assistance at this time and without the _activity and thorough work which was done by the police the campaign. would have been a failure. Excellent Work in School: The excellent work done by the school physician and school nurse this past year deserves mention because they have given important aid in pre- venting contagious diseases from gain- ing headway in our schools and furth- er because they teach and enforce the art of cieanlinness. The past year was noted for the very small number of cases of scarlet fever and diphtheria and for the great increase in the number of measles cases which was also state wide. 3 Nuisances investigated, _‘ontagious infectious diseases, etc., weer as fol- lows: Pulmonary tuberculosis 30, scarlet fever 17, diphtheria 15, typhoid fever 4, measles 107, venereal diseases 12, anterior polimvelitis, 1, visits to schools 18, permits to clean vaults 32, vaults abated 3, varlous nusiances in- vestigated 64. BURNAP TELLS OF UNUSUAL PRECAUTIONS Much has Been Done in Interests of Local Watersheds. SUPT. In his afifial report to the court of common council Superintendent Edwin L. Burnap of the water department makes reference to the unusual pre- cautions that have been taken dur- ing the past vear at the Fairview, Stonybrook and Meadow Brook wa- tersheds. A summary of Supt. Bur- nap’s report follows: Meadow Brook has had the usual cleaning. We kept the pond flowed the past year and this saved consider- able expense, as we did not have to mow It or cut the brush growth. Fairview is in the best of condition and is full at this writing. All grass and brush has been cut during the last year. We were not troubled so much the past summer with the unsanitary fishing conditions as in previous vears, as we kept strict watch of same by keeping off all trespassers who went there for the purpose of fishing. The wire fence on the west side of the reservolr is still in bad condition, but we will be unable to replace it this sea- son, as we have so many other ways to epend the money. At present we are at quite an expense by having to keep special guards at the reservoir day and night since March 20, 1917, and this wiil have to be continued un- til_all danger is passed. Stony Brook has had all possible care and the brook above the old srist mill pond, which had been sadly neglected in the past, was cleaned. This season there will be more clean- ing in order to keep the water in much better condition, as we were troubled last summer with quite a lit- tle algae. In the future shouid algae appear the water will be treated with & copper treatment. At Stony Brook, as at Fairview, there has been extra expense for spe- clal guards and the purchasing of rifles, etc., but both reservoirs are well guarded day and night. The pond is full at this time, and we start the year with the three reservoirs overflowing. We are placing meters on all new services, but there is still a great deal of water going to waste that isenot paid for and we hope some time to see the whole city metered. A new 10-inch main was put in on North Main street to take the place of the six-inch main, giving better sup- ply to Greeneville through. North Main street. We wlill have to enlarge the main in Thames street this year before the Hassam pavement is put down and this will necessitate new services and hvdrants. This will all cost consider- able more, as we could buy pipe two years ago at $28 per ton, and the price at this writing is $52 per ton in carload lots. However, we were for- tunate enough to buy 'the plpe early this. year at $41.90, " Labor has ad- vanced from $2 per day the past xon to §2.50 for eight hours, As in my last report of 1918, we Put In a new main through Water Street from Washington square to and through Shetucket street to Maln street: almo the main recommanded last year should be lald through Chestnut WIII Attend Plattsburgh, Bruce 8, MoMllllan of this city has been notified that he has passed the examinations for the efficers’ training samp_ et Platwburgh, He retently assed menta] and physical examina- ions at Fert H.

The president’s speech before con- gress-has been hailed here as one of ‘the greatest utterances ever given and I am sure the message from the pres- ident of the French republic makes us know it is appreciated. Already it has been voted that these two speeches together with that of Ribot, shall be read throughout the schools of France and President Wilson’s message Is to be posted in every commune in France. England will feel the same and will no doubt follow suit, as the message of King George and Lloyd George tes- tify. ATl this will be anclent history o you by the time this letter reaches you, on its censored way; it seems to me ‘as though the souls of Washing- ton and Lincoln are ‘alive and mani- fest in this hour. The president's message has gone to the source of right—at least, 50 It seems today. God grant that In.the near and the long future, it may seem the same. Our coming in must be a help in almost every way and let us all hope, one of the ways may be, in shortening the war. There are times when the war gets so on one's nerves that it scems we cannot stand it any longer for the strife grows more and more terrible. These last atrocities In the invaded villages, are fearful! In a group of & few small villages, where 84,000 in- habitants live, only 9,000 remain, and there are old men and women, a fow young children, and_several hindreds of young women, about to become mothers—children of unknown Boches fathers—the young ~women having been sent by the enemy_to Germany, to work on the land. Scientific de- struction has left the country desti- tute: Wells destroyed, fruit trees slash- ed bevond growth, everything taken- the inhabitants left without food and each with only a single garment of clothing. This afternoon T went to the Amer- fcan embassy to express by way of courtesy, our congratulations. Many were there, among whom was Mme. Ribot, wife of the premler 6 France, and all were thankful and ali were sure, that it was a _war, but with two ways—the right and the wrong—there can be no compromise: to attempt the continuance of a “neutral” cours word have been impossible. Tt is El W eler Willcox who says: “No virile man is neutral. right or wrong, his thoughts go forth assertive, unafraid to stand by his convictions, fo do the part, in shaping issues to an end. Only in the light of the future, can we be sure, that this was the wisest moment for us, to come i It is a great comfort today to feel that a wise and right constructive pol- icy has been at work. I am so glad President Wilson declared war with the German government, for it implies justice toward many German people in America, and perhaps in Germany, who are not to blame, or responsible for Prussianism, and who may de- plore it. The day war was declared the American Chamber of Commerce call- ed together its members in special session, that it might frame a message, to be sent to President Wilson my husband, - as vice president of the chamber, drew up the following mes- sage, which was unanimously asreed upon and at once sent; it read as fol- lows: “The American Chamber of Commerce in Paris, in view of the his- toric_and clear declaration, by the president of the United States, before Congress, desires to convey to the president, its sincere appreciation. en- thusiastic and patriotic congratula- tion, and offer of service.” And these fine ‘men will stand ready, as will e ery American man and woman, to ral- Iy to whatever needs may arise, for there is no . dissuising, that we may all have ahead of us great frials and many griefs before the day of victory. America_will have its personal sacri- fices, and through them will realize in part, what . heartbreaking suffering there has been in the old world.
