THE FIRST MEETING.

After the matter mad been preached to
number of citizens who approved the plan as
something promising mach good to the city
at DR.. Billings invitation meeting held
January u in the library of the medical n,u-
scum. This meeting was in the nature of an
informal conference. There were present,
besides DIR. Billings and the District
Commissioners. who had expressed the
greatest interest in the project, Messrs.
Myron NJ. Parker r. Ross Perry,
Chas. L. Condit, J. w. Babson, T. W. Moves
and II. p. Goodwin. DIR. Billings elec,ed as
temporary chairman. The plans which had
been considered were presented and discussed
and Dr. Billings made number OF valuable
suggestions. He expressed the opinion that
there was but small danger OF the cholera's
coming to Washington. Tho greatest risk, in
mis- opinion. to which Washington was exposed
was that of the contamination of the water
supply from passing railroad trains up
the things which an organization
such as that proposed should look ont fer. He
ske.ched out a number of matters TO which the
organization might profiIably give its at.en-
ton. First. he mentioned tie water supply,
and especially that portion of it derived from
disposal, and thought it wise to urge Congress
TO make provision for carrying out The plan of
the three experts appointed under act OF
Congress to consider and report the plan Of
sewage OlspOsal LOT the DiStrlc5 OF COLUMBIA.
Any inspection of the City, secured through
the volunteer efforts of citizens. would neces-
sarily, he says, be an unskilled enc. but might
result in much good if carried on. on sys-
temaIic plan. Voluntary inspection such as
had been talked about. he said, could for in
stance note the presence of collections OF nuis-
ances. and their report dealing with such mat
tiers should be sent at once to the health
thorities Of this city. DIR. Billings exhibited
forms OF blanks used for the purposes
of inspectors reports in different
cities and including the form which had beon
employed in the sanitary survey OF the city of
Memphis. conducted BY himself. and which had
been made to cover every house in the city. He
gave brief description of the plan OF an or
ganization OF different character, sucn as had
been adopted in some cities. This is an organi-
cation OF householGers. the members Of which
paid annually fee, the fund thus accumulated
being used to pay for the services Of an expert,
who made thorough examination OF each
house every year.

Mr.. Charles L. Condit who has been from

tributed valuable suggestions, especially on the
educational side of tho leagues work.
The possibility of the appearance Of cholera
in this country during the coming summer of

organization. but it was recognized that there
was much good to be accomplished, even if no
epidemic Is threatened.
