CON1HENDABLE ACTION OF
CITYCOUNCIL.

In Yesterdays HERALD a sug-
gestion was made that crude oil be
used to kill mosquitoes in stagnant
water holes and other places in the
civ of Brownsville. As an example
of how great minds often run in
the same channel, the same idea
occurred TO DR.. Layton, the city
physician, who presented the mat
ter to Mayor Carson, Marshal
Bates and Alderman Kowalski, who
readily agreed with him and conse-
auently ten barrels of crude oil was
ordered to be delivered to the city
physician 10 use as his judgment
approves.
This action is in line with the
recommendations OF the State
health officer, DR.. Geo. R. Tabor,
and places Brownsville in the lead
with other progressive and yigilant
towns in lexas. The action is
particularly gratifying and COM
mendable and is a splendid adver-
tisement of.the city's watchfulness
OF the health of Its citizens.
Besides this, City Marshal Bates
has put a number OF men at work
cutting the weeds and grass and
otherwise cleaning the streets, al
leys, etc, OF the city. He has a
notice to property holders in today's
HERALD, which it IS hoped will be
regarded at once without it becom-
ing necessary for the marshal to
take compulsory action in the mat
ter.

Fever No Better
At Linares, Mex,

Monterey, Mex, Sept. 11.-Dr. l.
P. Sessions, of Rockdale, Tex, has
arrived here to continue the inves-
tigation of the yellow fever situa-
ton which was begun by DR.. Geo.
R. Tabor, the State Health Officer.
at Austin. DR.. Sessions in an
interview said:
at is my intention to stay here
until | have determined four things:
Whether yellow fever exists here,
whether the quarantine is sufficient
to keep it out, baggage and freight
from the infected district are
dininfected sufficiently and whether
the sanitary condition Of this city
is favorable or adverse to breeding
disease. When / have satisfied
myself thoroughly on these meas
ures, | am ready 10 return and 1t
is possible the quarantine will be
raised on a favorable report"
Reports from Linares show that
there are more than 400 cases.
Fiity-two deaths from yellow fever
were reported last week. The.death
rate is growing no lighter and the
authorities are meeting with greater
difficulty in stamping out the d.
sease. Houses are being burned and
disinfectants used everywhere. Still
many new cases develop each day.
The average death rate for the past
six days has been ten a day. There
has been a gradual increase.

Use Oil, Says Tabor.
Yellow Fever Situation is Grave
and Texas Cities Should Be on
Guard.

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 11.-State
Health Officer Tabor today confer
red with United States Engineer
Jadwin, relative to the contest be-
tween the State and Federal Gov
-ernments as to which owns the
ground upon which is situated the
State quarantine station. The Unit
ed States lays claim to it through
session by the State, which the lat
ter denies. No agreement was reach
ed between the two officers. The is
sue is being brought up by the
State attempting to place $4,000 re-
pairs upon the present building,
which Engineer Jadwin some time
ago notified the contractor not to
do at his peril.
After the conference today, DR..
Tabor said he thought there would
be no further molestation and that
he would proceed with the repairs,
though it might he that the gov
ernment would get out an iniunc-
ton.
DIR. Tabor says the fever situation
in Mexico is very grave and there
is possible danger of its being
brought into Texas at points not
guarded by the quarantine stations.
He urges all of the Texas cities to
use strenuous efforts to clean up
and to especially destroy mosquitoes
by oiling stagnant ponds.
He says there exists a species OF
mosquito which will transmit yell
low fever should it once be intro
duced into the State.
