He has cleaned up many places and many things which needed cleaning up. But there are still opportunities. Tt would be a good idea to pay careful attention to Seattle restaurants, ‘The majority of them need it The methods of handling food, dishes, etc, in the kitchens could be vastly improved, with resultant advantage to the public health Under present conditions there is probably more danger of the dissemination of disease germs through restaurants, as ordinarily conducted, than through any other medium Partly washed knives, forks and spoons are more effective instruments for carrying the germs of consumption and other They even infectious diseases than all the flies in Christendom are far more dangerous tide-flat houses where scarlet fever or smallpox has developed There is no quicker or more certain method of trans- mitting diseases than from mouth to mouth, Knives, forks and spoons will transmit them. Restaurants are necessarily patronized by all kinds of people, both sick and well, and those who are diseased be come a menace to all others unless the most painstaking methods are followed in the washing and scalding of utensils Why, then, should the city exercise so great care over other things, such as the protection from contamination of milk which comes into our homes, and neglect the equally than shanties, or important matter of compelling restaurants to observe sanitary | precautions? Fully half of the people of this city patM@nize restaurants Thousands use them daily, and many others occasionally They are a necessary factor in the life of a city, and ought to be made uniformly clean and safe Under present conditions, however, it is fair to say that ot one out of five of the restaurants in Seattle do properly wash cither knives, forks, spoons or table dishes. It is a common experience for patrons of these places to find food stil! clinging to forks or plates when brought back from the dishwashers. Of course, this isn’t a pleasant subject to dis cuss, but it can hardly be avoided if a reform is to be brought about. Tt is seldom that any effective method of scalding table utensils is followed in the restaurants. Most of the proprietors seem to think it sufficient if they wash the cutlery or dishes in hasty fashion. ‘ Tt must be admitted that there are some restaurants in Seattle which do pay proper attention to these matters, but they are few and far between. It costs money to employ the necessary force to efficiently wash the dishes in a large restaurant. It also requires con- stant supervision, for the Ancient Order of Dishwashers is composed of a class of persons who are notoriously negligent, tniess watched. The vestaurant proprietors themselves ought to take business active steps in me matter, but if they don't Dr. Crichton should | dificially persuade them, Incidentally, it will help in the restaurants. It would probably surprise the managers of these institutions if they really knew how many persons don't patronize their places just because they know of exist- ing conditions. WHAT ABRAHAM DON’T KNOW Dan Abraham, county commissioner, will confer a benefit tupon the public by writing a book, entitled, “What I Don't Know, About Road Building and the Other Duties of a County i Commissioner.” Then the public will know better how to head off Abra ham with a court injunction when he attempts to build more highways across his section of King county, or to do any- thing else except to draw his salary and be harmless Abraham is a fair sample of the sort of commissioners who have for so long misdirected the affairs of King « His latest effort in road building was examined yester day by the editor of The Star, in company with Samuel Hill, president of the Washington Good Roads association, and a party of county officials completed road at the risk of demolishing an automobile and sunty The investigators went over the breaking everybodys’ necks. Commissioner Abraham's “road” is a stretch of highway near Renton which is intended to connect Seattle with a coma—a trunk road, so to speak. The taxpayers of King county, together with the state, furnish the money for this roadway. The aforesaid taxpayers give up approximately $40,000 as their part of the Abraham job. So they are deeply | interested, even if they aren't ranchers don’t travel by gasoline coach to Tacoma or This road is really a burlesque affair. The contractor whom Abraham allowed to get in on the work wanted ap proximately $8,000 per mile for his “work.” Not so many many months ago he reported the task finished and wanted his money. Abraham and the rest of the bunch of commis sioners would have paid the cash promptly had not an inter loper, in the person of State Highway Commissioner Snow, appeared on the right-of-way and looked the “road” over with critical eye howl. The its share for such an atrocity He raised a state, he said, would never pay job. as Abraham's latest obody without a flying machine could get over it Of course this stopped the smeothness of things. The cash wasn't transferred to the expectant contractor, and, de spite the frantic protestations of Father Abraham, preliiminar steps were taken to have much of the work done over The word “preliminary” is used advisedly. Actual steps to make the mew road passable for vehicles have not yet been undertaken and the summer is half over. Even with haste it is now hardly possible that the road can be opened for travel by next winter, Se fer as known Abraham has never dared to attempt to THE SEATTLE STA’ travel over his newly “completed” road, for which he wa the contractor paid. Mr, Abraham values his life more thahy he does the taxpayers’ dollars is The inspection yesterday disclosed impassable portions BY J of the road. Great “sinks” had developed, no ditches to cagty off hillside water had been constructed, and old cordugpy planks showed up in places, the ends of half-rotten timbers projecting up through the finished surface of this _magnitioent é ° thoroughfare! At several points the editor of The Star walked carefully over the debris, not caring to take chances in the auto, S@ did all the others in the inspection party There was no “crown” whatever to the road, It was an up and down hillside trail fit for a mountain goat in dey weather | The | Abraham's road won't bear adequate discussion fomenter of wrath And Abra- ham has been paid a salary by the county for building it! whole subject, however, is @ A little further along the committes of intwuiry discovered It was built through a swamp, so as to cut off a short bend in the Just why it was necessary to’ cut out this particular a county bridge built where no bridge was needed old road The bridge cost a-large sum of the taxpayers’ money.” Tt served no useful purpose, There was the old road bend still in use by wagons, Few apparently ever used the bridge Next the investigators found a streteh of Abraham's work of a new sort. An established roadway, which formerly had ditches along th¢ side of it to carry off the water, had “improved.” This had been effected by bringing up hundreds of wagonloads of river sand from some far-away } place and completely filling up both ditches for half a mile! So generous were the contractors on this job, who hauled the sand at-so much per load, that they heaped RIDGES of the material where the ditches had been, actually forming embank- ments and transforming the road into a CANAL, for the next big rain storm to flood! just been Such an idiotic piece of work was never seen before.
