NACADAM A MISTAKE

There seems to be a growing tendency in
st. Paul to try macadam on streets of heavy
traffic and on streets occupied by street car
tracks. This, think, is a great mistake.
Macadam is a most expensive pavement to
maintain. and when rot properly maintained
1t soon Gcteriorates. 1t is most difficult
pavement to replace when disturbed. and,
when traffic is confined to narrow space.
Il is sure to wear into ruts. For boulevard
drives, Pathways and streets of light traffic
it is all right when properly cared for, and
should be confined to streets of that charac-
ter.
The great drawback In getting our streets

The yellow flag, signifying smallpox, is
flying from the front OF the residence OF
the Rev. Alexander Willbanks, coored,
No. 3o9 II Street southwest and the
premises are strictly quarantined and
being guarded from intrusion by armed
officers appointed by DIR. Woodward, the
District Health officer.
The Rev. Mr.. Willbanks is confined TO
TO his bed by well-defned case OF
smallpox, and the neigkborhood is in
alarm. The stricken man is pastor of the
Virginia Avenue Baptist Church, in First
Street between G and II Streets southwest.
He is also a student of Howard University,
where he is taking the theological course
of studies.
The case was reported to DR.. Woodward
yesterday and he at once took steps to pre-
vent spread of the disease. 1t was his
intention to have the colored minister re-
moved forthwith to the smallpox hospital
after the case had been diagnosed by
Health Office physicians as one of small
pox. The Rev. Mr.. Willbanks refused to
be sent TO the pest house, and being con-
fined in his own home the authorities could
not compel him to go 10 that institution.
He will, therefore. remain at his residence
under strict guard.
DR.. Woodward stated last night that,
owing to conflicting reports and state
ments, the origin of the disease in the
preachers case is not yet known. He
complained of feeling i'll several days ago
and went to bed under the belief that he
had the grip. The eruptions made an ap-
pearance on Thursday night and the case
was reported to the Health Office yester-
day. Extraordinary precautions are being
taken by Health Officer Woodward and his
assistants 20 prevent a spread of the dis
ease and the quarantine regulations are
being strictly enforced.
As Mr.. Willbanks is a minister, he has
been visited by many of his parishioners
during his illness. before its character was
discovered. He also mingled with his
classmates at the university, and some of
them may have been exposed to the dis
ease. DR.. Woodward and the Health Of
flee inspectors are trying to locate all the
suspected persons and when found they
will be kept under surveillance.
The Rev. Mr.. Willbank is 81 years of age
and is pastor of a large congregation. He
will be induced. if possible, 10 go to the
smallpox hospital
Dr.. Woodward hopes by adopting stern
measures to prevent the contagion from
spreading.
