STATE DEATH RATE DECREASED SAYS PUBLIC HEALTH COUNCIL Reduction of the death rate of Con- necticut is shown in the second report of the public health council to Governor Marcus H. Holcomb. The report is from October 1, 1918, to June 30, 1920. There is now a curtailment of the activities of the department, as when estimates were submiited it was not anticipated that average costs would increase 40 per cent. ‘The death rate for the state has been reduced from 148 in 1915 to 2.14 in 1919, while the rate for the registration area of the United Stales for 1919 is 12.9, as compared with 12.4 for Connecticut. ‘These raya indicate that approximate- ly 2,000 deaths were prevented in 1919 and that it is safer to live in Connec- ticut than in the average registration area state. Special effort has been made looking to the control of typhoid fever and the reduction in deaths from 151 to fifty-six indicates some success. Comparing the typhoid fever dedth rates in ‘Connecticut for 1919, which was 3.8, with that of the registration area which was 9.2, the re- Its are gratifying. Energetic child welfare and public health nursing work is also reflected in statistics. Out of every 1,000 babies born last year, but eighty-six died. This is twenty less than five vears ago and means that of the babies born this year 7001are living who would have been dead had they been born under conditions as they were five years ago. Othler communicable diseases Which have received less consideration: show in most instances sligh:, if any, improve- ment in the death rate.

Bennett, Connecticu's repre- sentative at the conference. Forty-seven states were at the meeting. and of highway departments only ‘one, Wash- ington, failed to send o represenative. The session lasted four days and cov- ered all phases of modern highway con struction. The president of -the aso ciation, Paul D.

Commissioner Bennett, who spoke a the Tuesday morning session on I Limitations for Primary and Second: Highways, based his talk on the. ide: that there should be a definitely. know: line, on the weight of trucks in orde to properly design highways to care fo them. He said he bolieved that the 1Ii cense charge for trucks should be pro portional to their giza and the amoun of damage they do to rpads.
