The National Board of Health Bulletin,
published by the United States Government,
speaks, in recent editorial, in terms Of
warm commentator of the labors of our
sanitary commission, saying that ''the in
vestigation was exhaustive, and the report is
replete with interesting exposures of the
sources of ill health to the people, and sug-
gestions as to the practicable remedies to be
applied" At the close of the article, the
editor SAYS: "But there are vast numbers OF
cities in this country whose Back Coyes and
adjoining Mill Ponds, reeking with accu-
mulated filth, have not yet attracted public
and much less official attention. Fortunate
would it prove to such cities if at an early
dav their authorities would follow the exam
pie of Portland, and institute proper sani-
.tary survey.' Evidently the writer is labor
ingunder mistaken notion that the institu-
ton of an official investigation implies aserl-
Gus intention Of employing the results IN some
useful way, of doing something about the
things investigated This error of opinion
is probably due to his having lived in COM
munity where the authorities consider
themselves the servants of the people who
nut them in office When he gets the latest
adyices from Portland he will see that there
is one place where the unfortunate clamor-
;nes of the citizens are UNDECIDED, even
though the prayers are accompanied by the
promise to pay all the expense which the
granting of them would involve.
