The Death Record.

saltwater With its 10, 600 inhabitants can
show a record not equaled by any CITY in
the Union. The total deaths in the city
for the month of June number only three.
and of these one was afflicted with con-
sumption for years before coming here.
another was a state convict who was
| troubled with various complaints before
coming, so that really there was only one
death from local causes, that of a six
months child from spinal meningitis. This
is showing that no other city can equal,
and the health department may well feel
proud OF the excellent sanitary condition of
the city. In April and May the city was
thoroughly inspected, and the Nav death
rate was not half of the death rate for fine
same month last year. During June last
year there were thirteen deaths. two of them
suicides. In the city there has been for the
month fifteen cases of mild scarlet fever.
none of which were fatal, and there were
two cases of diphtheria, the one at the
prison proving fatal. The health DEPART
ment having got the city in such an excel
lent sanitary condition it is hoped thev will
not allow filth and rubbish to again accu-
mulate. The state law has given them the
power and they should see that the Law =
carried out. Of course such record j. :

city ON the American continent, and has

city five times the size of this.
