TOTAL SHOWS MANY CASES Percentage of Fatality Not Great in 616 Fever Vietims Reported to the Health Department-—See Hope in New Ordinance. In another week Dr. Leon L. Lumsden of the Marine Hospital service will have completed his investigation of typhoid fever in Omaha, Before leaving here he will probably give out some figures touch- ing the general situation as he has found it. ¥rom December 1 last the number of typhold cases reported to 'the Omaha héalth department {s 616. This is greatly In ‘excess of the ordinary number in recent years, but the percentage of deaths in ty- phoid cases reported is only about 4 or § per cent “greater than - ordinary, Taking the tenth day of each month be- ginning with December and including April upto this time, thé number of cases re- povted was fifty-three, the greatest of any date in the five months. Reading the fourteenth ‘day, reports show & total of forty cases in the five months. The thir- teenth, “usually’ considered” unlucky, shows but six cases in the five months. Five of theso were reported on the thirteenth of December and but one since. Sanitary Inspector Bossle, vho has been with Dr. Lumsden in his house-to-house canvass, has been acquiring & lot of in- formation that will prove valuable to the health department hereafter. Dr. Connell, health commissioner, regards this training as 50 valuable he may hereaftef follow up. the plan of Dr. Lumsden for a house-to- honse investgation, of typhold or similar epidemics, so that all information can be secured while the thing is fresh and kept for study und refeence. In this connection, much 1s hoped for from the enactment of the pending ordi- nance introduced by Councilmen Berka, calling for a higher standard of water fo be supplied to householders, whether the city acquires the water plant or not. This ordinance is now being redrawn by the city attorney's office, and will be taken up at the committes of the whole meeting Monday afternoon. It is to be récommended for passage, judging by the talk of the covnell “members, and will probably be passed by the council Tuesday evening.
