The March meeting of this association was
held on the 18th instant at City View" the
residence of Benjamin Barton. K. +. Roberts
was chosen chairman with N. w. pic,son Sec
rotary.
Tho committee appointed at Inc meeting in
January in regard to tho locStiOn and condition
OF the Turnpike road between Alexandra and
Washington reported verbally, that two of the
oTmittee had conferred together after exsmn-
ing the present 80 called Turnpike and were
| satisfied that if the present rosd wss put in good
condition for travel, the greatest objection 10 it
as public nuisance for highway travel would
not be removed, because OF the clcso proximity
TO the railroad where tho trains pass so often,
and where there are many dangerous places
| along side tho road that frightened team would
be lisbleto do great damage. The large amount
of travel between the two cities would be greatly
increased If 3 new road was opened snd put in
order The suggestion WAS made to have con-
ference with the Road Commissioners Of Alex.
andrla county to ascertain If 3 new roadway
could not be agreed upon to DO opened north of
the railroad leading from West End 10 the Long
Bridge. No definite action was taken on the
suggestion.

A QUESTION FOR MEDICAL
GEIENTIGTC


New York Tribune: In view of the
statements made at the recent Anti-Vac-
cination Congress held at Cologne, the
layman may we'll ask whether there is
anything in medical science that he can
safely regard as settled. A few years
ago the whole world believed vaccina-
ton TO be an efficacious preventive of
smallpox just as firmly as it believed
quinine TO be good remedy for chills
and fever. But now arise a host of
earnest and honest people who as
sert that vaccinated persons are more
liable to the contagion of smallpox
than the unvaccinated, to say nothing of
the other forms of blood poison which
they may absorb with the virus. But
this is not the worst of it. These agita-
tors do not rest upon assertions. They
have an appalling array of hospital
statistics to back up their position. AS
far as figures go, and figures must in the
end settle the question, it must be ad-
mitted that up to this time they have
the best of the controversy they have
provoked. Meanwhile, why should the
discussion be confined TO England and
the continent of Europe? Let us have
an intelligent examination of our Ameri-
can hospital reports. If the anti-vaccl.
nationists are right, the sooner the pub
lie know it the better; if wrong, the
sooner their error is established and the
painful doubts they have awakened are
set To rest the better.
