The Report OF the Medical inspectors
Very Favorable to State Camp.

Brigadier General Kendall Of the Rhode
Island Militia Is in receipt OF the olnciai
report OF Lieutenant Colonel Charles H..
French, medical director of the brigade,
who was instructed from headquarters To
the State Board of Health, in the examl-
nation of the State Camp Ground, The
report states that they visited the grounds
July 5 and made q thorough examination
OF the grounds, water supply, location OF
the sinks, stables and sanitary arrange
ment of the mess quarters. The location
was pronounced TO be excellent, tine
water used for drinking purposes was
all that could be desired. The arrange
ment OF sinks was as good as could be e.
pected undcr h present system OF Dry
earth closets rudely constructed. Inc
stables were models of neatness and
seemed to meet all requirements. The
examination of the middle supply oil
water, not now used, SHOWS
that il Is unsafe to use Tor
domestic purposes. Colonel French
Is OF the opinion that IL could be made to
be useful for fire and s%prinkling purposes
and possibly for drinking in case OF me-
cessity by cleaning out the pond and re-
moving all of the decaying vegetable
matter and gravelling the bottom. Ac-
companying the report was the state
ment of DIR. Swarts giving thu
chemical and meteorological analysis o
the samples OF water and approving the
recommendations of the medical director
Before another year 1t is believed mat th'
measures will be taken to improve tn
sanitary conditions, which appear to b.
the only defects at the camp ground.
