Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
KENSINGTON, Nd, September L., 1902
Mayor Eckhardt, when seen regarding
the contract for the new sidewalks, said
that the Colburn Paving Company of Wash
ington city had been awarded the contract
to lay 4,500 yards more or less, of brick
sidewalk at a cost of 20 cents per yard
The contractors will commence work at
once and they agree to complete the same
in forty-two working days. About one
third of the work will be done on the north
side of the railroad track the balance on
the south side. Everything is in readiness,
survey having been made of the town
and iirst-class scale map prepared, which
shows the various subdivisions and every
lot with the areas of each figured thereon
Mayor Eckhardt has been requested to
have the map lithogra phed. While he desires
to do SO, he says that the revenues of the
town will not admit of such an expenditure
The subject, however was mentioned to
two of the real estate brokers of the town,
and they very readily consented to bear a
portion Of the expense. 1t is likely that
photographic map will, in the near future,
materialiZe.
The question of street crossings is now
being considered, though the material of
which they will be constructed has not
been decided upon as yet. Bluestone flag
ging, cement and bricks on edge have been
suggested. and the most desirable of these
consistent with the money on hand to be
expended, will be used, and it is believed
the work will be started in a very few days

FEVER IN NEW YORK
TYPHOID UNUSUALLY PREVA-
LENT IN THE METROPOLIS
Statements Made by the Health De-
partment Shows Large Increase
An Explanation.

II IS manifest from the reports received.
from time to time from the large cities of
the country that typhoid fever is confined
to no particular section at this season and
that 1t Is everywhere more prevalent than
has been shown by records of preyious
years. The report Of the health commits
sioner for the city of New York for the
week ended Saturday last as printed I'm
the Tribune Of that city, shows the condi-
tlons there indicating that the fever is uu-
usually prevalent. For that week the num-
Der of cases reported was 2l9. COMPARED
with 2Oi for the previous week and llg for
the week before. This large increase is ex-
pialned by the officials as a natural con-
comltant OF The return of the hundreds who
nave been absent at summer resorts and
Is to be noticed every year on the Other
hand, the number of typhoid cases this
year enormously exceeds the figures of
those or previous years, the number for the
same weeks in the last two years being 81
and ia In 1901 and 50 and 50 In 1900
The Tribune says:
How great the increase in tvphoid is
this summer can best be gathered from
the comparison of the figures of the last
month with those of the same month of the
last two years. The total of the last
month of this year aggregates 646 For
Isol the figure is 251 and for 1900 24s. This
shows almost 400 more cases of this dis
ease in the last month than In preceding
years.
More Cases Detected,
In explanation of this rather striking
circumstance the health department Off
Gals say that, while there is a certain In
crease in the number of typhoid victims
thls year considerable portion of this
number are due to the Increased facilities
Tor detecting the existence OF the disease
moreover, there has been an unusual num-
Der OF cases which on investigation proved
TO be falsely reported. Still, there Is a
large increase, which is attributed in part
TO the period OF rain in the earlier part of
apparent increase N the number Of deaths
from typhoid.
another unusual circumstance which Ia
receiving the attention OF the health de-
partment, but of which the returns are
yet incomplete. is the great disproportion-
ate death rate Of infants in Brooklyn and
Manhattan. The fact OF this difference
has been known for some years. Only re-
Gently, and with a sum of money appro-
priated for the purpose, the health de-
partment has set to work to check the ex-
cessive death rate in Brooklyn. Despite
their efforts their is still big discrepancy.
This was particularly true this last sum
mer when the death rate in Manhattan
and the Bronx climbed from 25 to Al in
10000. In BROOKLYN the rate started at u
and scared to 80.
''Of the true cause of this difference the
health department still remains In igno-
rance. They have accomplished much in
the way of equalizing these rates Tene-
ment house and food inspection has re-
duced the Brooklyn rate considerably over
previous years. but IT still exists. The re-
suits OF the official investigation are TO
be announced later in report which will
be made to the mayor"
