HEALTH OF THE CITY
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HEALTH
OFFICER TO THE MAYOR
RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE
FOR WHAT HEALTH OFFICER
THINKS ARE IMPROVEMENTS.

Prevalence of Scarlet Fever Was the
That Was RepOrted-Year as "A
Whole showed Best Death Record
Since Inauguration of Method OF
y Keeping Reports-Steam Chamber
Recommended for DisinfectiOn of
Clothing and Household Effects.
The Smallpox situation.
The annual report of Health officer
w. F. Drummer was presented to
Mayor Myers yesterday. 1t relates to
the department of which the health
officer is in charge, and shows inter-
esting information and statistics. The
report, in part, is as follows:
The year 1901 was not marked by
any unusual sanitary occurrence be-
yond the spread of scarlet fever which
while in evidence during the entire
year, did not present any serious as
pect until October, when the disease
spread rapidly until December when
there were As cases under treatment
at one time.
Taking the year as a whole it's death
record was the best ever known since
the inauguration of proper records in
1889 and IS90-before that time the
records did not present full reports of
vital statistics, nor was the health Of
fcer anything more than a registrar
of interments in the different ceme-
teries and the director of the quaran-
tine station under the Board of SAM
tary Commissioners.
The United States census for 1900
gave us population of $4,000, in round
numbers, and it is fair to estimate the
increase in population for the follow
ing year at 1000, which makes S.
600 persons living within the city in
the year of 1901
There were 512 deaths among the
whites, and S57 deaths among the ne
groes; the total deaths being 1859. The
actual rate per 1000 was whites. Is. 80,
negroes, 1858; annual ratio of both
1.45. The deaths among the whites
are well within the normal rate and
is probably less than ever recorded
before, the population being consid-
cred, and without doubt, the negro
death rate was lower than it has ever
been.
The principal causes of death were
as follows.

Steam Chamber Needed.
Much damage has been done to
household effects on account of our
lack OF steam chamber which could
be used for the disinfection of textile
fabrics
With such chamber citizens would
be saved nearly all of their household
effects left in infected rooms.
Your health officer obtained esti-
mates on a steam cylinder with pinings
ready to be fitted to the boiler at the
water-works. and presented the same
TO the Board of Sanitary Commission
ers. but that body refused to allow the
work of disinfectiOn to be carried on
when the water supply would be pol
luted. How such pollution could occur
IS unknown to your health officer. no
matter how clear it may be to other
members of the board.
steam chamber should be pur-
chased, and if it cannot be placed near
enough to the water-works to obtain
steam from the boiler as suggested bv
me, then the entire plant for the spe-
citic purpose of disinfection should be
erected. True such a plant would cost
twice the amount in purchase. and
about the same to run it than if it
were placed where an engineer. fuel
and steam were already available, but
the saving to the citizens warrants the
expense.

Capt. Hansen of the Norwegian bark
Magnat, which arrived from London
on Tuesday, had a repetition OF his for
mer sad experience by receiving news
OF the death of another member of his
family. on his trip before the last Capt.
Hanson received by letter the news
of the death of his son, and on the
present trip in his mail was a letter
telling OF the death of his wife. The
news was crushing to Capt. Hansen,
and he received the sympat thy Of many
friends here.
The mail is the first thing called for
by sea captains upon their arrival at
destination. Great eagerness is always
shown for news from home, for at
times vessels are out weeks and
months without a word from those
the seamen leave behind.
Local shipping men take no stock
in the rumors that there will be rate
cutting war among the Atlantic
passenger lines this summer, says
Tuesdays Philadelphia Times. Yer
non h Brown the New Y ork manager
of the Cunard Line was quoted on
Sunday as saying there viii be no rate

Cunard Company had refused to sign
the agreement by which rates were
to be maintained.
Passenger Agent Anderson of the In
ternational Navigation Company, yes
terday said:
The truth is that no agreement of
any kind has been signed by any of
the lines The Cunard people are OBJ
jecting to our having chartered the
new steamers Merton and Haverford
10 the Dominion Line. When the In
ternational Company built these two
boats it was understood that the Della
ware Bay and river channel would
have been deepened sufficiently to al
low of those vessels trading to this
port. This was not done, and the
boats were left idle on this companys
hands for the time being, and as the
Dominion Line was short of steamers
it chartered our vessels The Cunard
people-or any line, for that matter
may cut rates if 1t wants to; but:
as the summer traffic rs nearly all
booked ahead up to July and August,

favors for them were woven gold
purses, costing probably $500 apiece.
The men got gold handled pocket
