ADVISES STEPS BE TAKEN klfllu Des Moines Sanitary Engie neer He Brought to City to Look Over Situation and Give “hat the water supplied by the City Water Works company is responsible for the several cases of typhoid fever in Coun- oll Bluffs is the expressed opinion of Dr. A. P, Hanchett of this city, who is chair- man of the Towa Hiate Goard of Health. Dr. Hanchett further expresses the opinion that it is the duty of the local board of health to deal with such fyat- ters ghd that it ought to take lmm: te measures to ascertaln definitely the sowrce of the trouble and to correct it as far as possible. Dr. Hanohett suggests that Lafayette Higgins, of Des Moines, sanitary engineer of the state board of health, be asked to come to Council Bluffs and advise with the loeal borid“of health as to the cause of the trouble and the best measures to be adopted for its eorrection or suppresion. “&ince we began to have typhold troubles in this elty last August" sald Dr. Han- chett Friday morning, “there have been a great many oases. 1 have not kept count 0f the cawes 3 ourselves have treated, hat 1 should*shy that we have probably hod from forty to fifty and passibly more. It s true, however, that there Umaha Bee. Council Bluffs have not been at any'gne time more than thirty to forty cases of the disease in the city, and it has not been so prevalent as to be termed an epidemic. It Is true typhold, although most of the cases have been of a mild type. Unosual in Winter. ‘““There are epough cases to make the situation serious. We always expect more or less typhoid in the late summer and fall, but it is unusual for it to persist through the winter as It has done here. From our experience I should say that the water supply Is the source of the disease In Council Bluffs. I see Dr. Tubbs states that practically all his cases have been of people working or living in Omaha. This has not been our experi- enge. Nearly all, if not all of our cases have been Counell Bluffs people, and an unusual proportion of them have been ochildren. Our ocases have been in al! parts of the city, no part seeming fo be especially affected. In most of thém, ) think, city water was used. In others the patients had attended sohool Where they drank city water, but there have been some cases where city water was not used so far I know. The condi- tions here and the fact that the same sit- ustion exists in Omaha, which aleo se- oures Its water supply from the Missourl river, would Indicate to me that the trouble 1s with the water supply. “The province of the state board of health in such matters is largely advie- ory. The local boards must deal directly with the trouble, and I am glad to see that the Councll Bluffs board Is taking Rold of the matter.” Dr. Hanchett expressed the hope that some means would be found to check upread of the disease before warm weather, but sald he was not sufficlently acquainted m P> LOAN MONEY ON A.

Business JNO, P. TINLEY, Mgr. i C il Bluff { Council Bluffs with the law to say what powers the I Board of Health had in the matter. City Bolicitor Kimball, to whom the mat- ter was referred yesterday by members of the city councll who constitute the mem- bership of the Board of Health, made an examination of the statute to ascertain what powers the local Board of Health would have to enforce measures for the purification of the water supply should it be determined by tho state, chemist, after making a baoteriological analysis as di- rected by the city councll Thursday, that it was mpure. “There Is no provision glving the local Board of Health specific authority in this particular matter,” sald Mr. Kimball, “but it 1s my judgment that the general powers | conterred on such boards would apply In this case. Of course the city could not require the waterwarks company to bulld New reservolrs or §o to unreasonable ex- pense. Any reasonable requirement could, think, be enforced.” Western lowa Editors Meet Generally Adopted by Weekly Newspaper Men. the Western Iowa Editorial association held In this clty yesterday was much smaller than had been looked for, but d spite this drawback, an Interesting session was held.
