THE STATE
HEALTH BOARD
Discusses Smallpox in Maury and
Other Counties.
Committee Sent to This County to
Investigate the Situation and
Make Report.

NASHVILLE, Oct. l6 The State
Board of Health met yesterday in
semi-annusl session at the Capitol.
The principal business before the
board was the smallpox situation,
the board adjourning till the early
part of next week, when commit
tee sent to Mt. Pleasant to investl-
gate conditions there will make a
report.
Secretary Albright submitted re-
port in regard to the smallpox condi
tiou in the State. The report stated
that at the present time the disease
existed in mild form only in
Putnam, Robertson, Maury, Henry,
Marion and Franklin counties 1t
was stated that in all these, with the
exception of Maury, the regulations
of the State Board were being OBJ
served. There were in the State at
the present time about 25 cases.
In Maury county, it was stated, the
State Board of Health had met with
fat refusal from the County Board
when called upon to assume charge
of case of the disease, which had
recently appeared at Mt. Pleasant
The reason assigned was that the
county could not afford repetition
of the heavy expense incurred in
stamping out the disease last year.
The report enumerated some of the
difficulties met with in stamping out
the disease. principal among which
was the tendency to disbelieve that
the disease was smallpox and to
ignore the law in regard to 1t on &C
count of its mild form.
Tn considering the condition Of
smallpox in Maury county, the board
heard Hon. Edward Looney, Judge
OF the County Court; DR.. j. l.. Voor-
bees, County Health Officer, and DR..
G. Y. Clark, Health Officer of Mt.
Pleasant. These gentlemen an
nounced to the board their inability
to further cope with the disease, and
called upon the State Board of
Health to assume charge of the
work.
The matter was discussed in the
morning and in the afternoon occu-
pied the greater part of the session.
As a result DIR. William Krauss, Sec
rotary Albright and Dr.LOuis Leroy,
State Bacteriologist, were delegated
10 visit the county and investigate
matters and ascertain what could be
done by the county health authori-
ties, The committee left last night
ana will report to an adjourned meet
lag VI the board to be held tue first
of next week.
There are five cases Of the disease

ing TO report.
DIR. j. W. Scheibler, State Veteri-
marian, made a report upon the
slaughter Of cattle for CHAMBERS and
tuberculosis, and submitted to the
members OF the board specimens OF
the latter disease, which had been
taken from certain cattle in the diary
establishments.
The secretary reported the gener-
al health % the State as good with
no unusual prevalence Of disease, ex-
cept the ordinary autumnal fevers,
prevailing extensively at points In
