New London, first mayor of that city under the council-manager form of government, was the speaker Friday night at the Osgood parish house before the Feb- ruary meeting of Park Church Men's club, introduced by President Telley B. Babeock after Rev. Dr. S. H. Howe had opened the meeting with prayer. Mayor Whiton gave an {nteresting ex- position of the adoption of the council- manager form of government In New London. Years ago, he said, the ward system was introduced in New London and experience has shown that the ward system has In it the elements of an in- ferior kind of political control. In the ward system, combined with the city meeting it comes to be an unpleasant task to oppose some undesiraole object which a group desires to put through. The situation was ripe in New London for a change and the public movement for the council-manager form of gov- ernment was sponsored by the Raotary club. Political conditions were unfort- unate in New London and the move for the new charter was in the Interests of better government. Under the new form of the elty gov- ernment, nominatlon is by petition, de- ing away with the caucus system. The council of seven men is an absolute gov- erning board as there is no appeal to the in city ~meeting. Anyone can propose to the council any matter in which he Is interested. The counpil clooses its chairman who takes the. title of mayor. It acts through an officer known as city manager who is an administrative officer charged with carrying out the orders of the council. Members of the councll are prohibited from influencing the city manager in the appointment of offfcials. Conditions are lLecoming changed for the better in Now Londong sald Mayor Whiton.

Black, state health commis- sioner, upon the typhoid fever cutbreal in December, 1921, at Norwich Town: Between December 7, 1921, and Jan- uary 4, 1922, 11 cases of typhoid fever were reported by the health officers of Norwich Town and Norwich city. On December 14, the state department of health was Tequested by: Doctors Thompson and Brophy, health officers of the town and city, respectively, to assist them in the investigation "of an outbreak of typhoid fever. It had al- Teady been ascertained that those. Ill with the disease had used milk from a single producer, and the sale of the milk had been ordered dx.scontlnued by Dr. Thompson, Between December 14 and February 9, seven visits were made to Norwich and the suspected milk farm by the in- vestigators of the department. In the Investigation, the department of -health cooperated with the local health officers and with the state dairy and food com- missioner. As a result of the reports filed by the -health officers, the medical Inspec- tors, engineers and laboratory of this department, and of the inspectors of ths dairy and food commission, the circum- stances surrounding the outbreak and the probable cause of the same can be outlined as follows: It waq ascertained that there had been no typhoid- fever in Norwich city or town for a period of five months pr vious to the present outbreak. The wa- ter supply was determined to be uncon- taminatel, and no food or drink except milk was found as a likely source of in- fec(lon All the cases-of typhotd used milkk produced on the farm of George S. Beebe, located in Norwich Investigation of this fa.rm’ showed that the sanitary conditions were not good and that the water sup- ply was secured from two sources—a well located near the house, and a spring some 500 feet away which sup- plied the barn through an Iron pipe. Analyses of the water of both of these supplies showed that the well at thel house was uncontaminated, but that the water from'the spring was grossly con- taminated. Further investigation revealed the fact that the water of the spring had been supplemented by piping water from an underdrain to the sprin This un- derdrain, wnich was practically con-| cealed its entlre length. was bullt of| stone covered with soil and extended| several hundred feet through a barge! vard on the adjoining premises, and at this locatlon it was found that appar- | ently it received the overflow directly! from a cesspool Which was one of a se-| ries of three. the second emptving into the first and the third emptving Intoj ha second.

Eve effort was made by laboratory examinations to d termine whether this pe{\so)l was a ty phoid carrier and as- shel responsible for the pollution of this water, but! without success. The investigation was not carried on for a sufficient length of time to determine whether this persos is one who discharges typhoid germs ine termittently.

SCYTHIA'S PASSENGERS WENT THROUGH NORWICH The special train of eight cars of the Canadian National rallroad which ran through™ Norwich Thursday evening, stopping briqly for orders, at about 7.40, carried passengers of the Cunard liner Scythia, landed at Hai L when the veesel was forced to put into that port because of trouble with her turbine engines. They reached Grand Central Terminal. New York, early Fri- day morning. There were more than 200 of them, and the customs examina- | tion of their baggage occupied the best | part of the morning. One of those who arrived was C. T. Forsdick, a London enzineer, who is on | his way to Wellington, New Zealand, on business. He will sail from the Pacific coast on March 2 and expects to con- clude his 28.090 mfle jaunt in London by | the middle oT June. Two other long dis- tance travelers were Rev. and Mrs. R. L.

The following are our findings n brief: . 1. That all of the 11 cases reported were infected by milk, 2. That the milk in question was in all probability infected by the use of utensils washed in contaminated’ water. That the contaminated water came from a spring and an underdrain, the latter receiving the overflow from a cesspool. 4. That an individual who had had typhoid fever within a year and who was at the time probably a carrier oc- cupied the premises on which the cess- pool contaminating the underdrain was located. JOHN T. BLACK, Commissioner. Februg:y 24, 1922, Letter to Dr. Thompson. The report was accompanied by the following letfer to Dr. George Thompson, health officer of the town of Norwich: February 24, 1922. George Thompson, M. D. Health Officer, Nevwich, Taftville, Conn. Dear Doctor: T am’ enclosing a sum- mary of the reports of the various in- vestigators, including voursel? and Doec- tor Brophy, of the recent typhoid fever outbreak in Norwich. ‘We wish to thank you for your prompt and energetic ac- tion in this matter. It has been demon- strated that thiz action prevented the development of additional cases. Your orders forbiddinz the sale of milk from the Beebe form should remain ef- fective until the present water supply, secured from the spring and drain joint- ly. is discontinued and an entirely new Supp! provided. I believe Mr. Beebe has, complied with the instructiong of the Dairy and Food Commissioner by reme- ng the unsanitary conditions about his barn, so that when the new supply of water is secured I think it safe to remove the restrictions now -placed upon this farm. * Very truly, J.

In a statement made to a representa- tive of The Bulletin, Friday, Dr. Thomp- son said that the cesspools referred to in the state healtli commissioner's raport are ‘located on what has been known as the Dr. Howland farm, which adjoins the Beebe farm, and is now the prop- erty and residence of James L.
