Regarding 10th Street Improvement

neSaIu1uB 1otn Street Improvement.
The Commissioners have addressed a let
ter to Senator Gallinger in regard to the
amendment proposed by him to the District
bill appropriating 100000 for paving 18th
street from Morris street to Columbia road
and grading and regulating the thorough
fare north Of Columbia road The Com
missioners say they recommended In their
estimates OF this year an appropriation OF
10000 for grading and improving 10th
street from Morris street to Spring road
which, in their opinion. Is as much as
should be expended during the next fiscal
year, although 100000 could be advantage
ously spent. as this Improvement is very
Desirable.

The Present Station.

1.-The quarantine station now under rental
which Is believed the best that can be pro-
cured in that way. consists OF seven four
room frame houses without modern con-
veniences. located at the corner Of 18th and
d streets southeast. People who themselves
live in houses poorer than these find the
quarters now provided for them comforta-
Bile.
THE inmates are well fed are kept clean
and decent, and have certain opportunities
for exercising in the open air. which are
not possible at their own homes. For by
far the larger part of the community how
ever. residence in the existing quarantine
station would entail great hardship and Is
almost out of the question.
This Is true certainly OF the class OF
people who live ordinarily in hotels and
apartment houses. Experiences with the
resent accommodations have, however

from smallpox. and that they have saved

of the inmates.

and erect thereon a quarantine station
which will afford comfortable living accom-
imodations not only for the extremely poor
but for any one. especially for those living
in hotels and apartment houses who may
require isolation. While no detailed plans
have been made 1t Is deemed better that
such quarantine station be located in the
same general section Of the city as the one
which now exists. that Is In the general
vicinity OF but not on the Washington

Wealthy as Well as Poorer Glass.

While what has been said in the pre-
tent to the poorer classes, the statements
made therein with reference to the impos-
sibility Of disinfection and to the prompt
recognition and efficient isolation Of cases
which develop after the removal of the
patient apply with almost equal force to
even the more wealthy portion of the COM
munity.
There are, however reasons for the
construction of a quarantine station which
are peculiar to the weu-to-do class of the
community. Many of these people res &c
in hotels, and a large and constantly In
Creasing number Of them live in apart
ment houses.
when a case of smallpox occurs among
the occupants of hotel or an apartment
house it is under present conditions prac-
tically necessary to quarantine those other
occupants who have been exposed to the
case in their rooms or apartments in the
hotel or partment house, leaving them
there liable to develop smallpox and cause
the further spread of the disease among
other guests and inmates.
THE close confinement in the rooms OF
q hotel or apartment house Is detrimental
to the persons confined, II they develop
the disease there is added danger to the
other inmates Of the premises. the prob
lem Of feeding and otherwise caring for
such persons during quarantine Is ditfl-
cult and embarrassing to the proprietors
Of the hotel or apartment house, and the
presence Of such persons during the ordi-
nary quarantine period would be under
any ordinary conditions ruinous to the es-
Enlistment
Even. however for people who are not

apartment houses a quarantine station may

Necessary to Have Some Place.

1.-THE quarantine of persons who have
been exposed to smallpox in their own
homes Is occasionally impossible. as their
presence absolutely prevents proper dis
infection. In cases Of this character 1t
may be said to be absolutely necessary to
have some place to which the occupants of
the infected premises can be removed dur
ting disinfection.
I'm other cases, while 1t Is possible to
quarantine them on the premises which
they occupy, 1t Is undesirable to do so, be-
cause they cannot be kept under such close
medical supervision as Is necessary to Sc
cure the prompt recognition and immediate
isolation of those who subsequently develop
smallpox and even though through change
early symptoms of L-sease are promptly
recognized the construction of the premises
Is not such as to permit the satisfactory
isolation Of the patient until 1t can be de-
termined that the disease from which the
patient Is suffering Is in fact smallpox.
In many cases If persons who have been
exposed to smallpox insist on remaining
in their own homes, it becomes necessary
20 feed them and, in the less orderly classes
of the community, to guard them so as
to prevent them from disappearing anu
going into hiding the first appearance
of sickness: these requirements add, o.
course very largely to the expense OF the
smallpox service. In any case, too, the
close confinement of the inmates of such
premises may be detrimental to their
health.

'WOODWARD'S ESTIMATE

Health Officer Woodward has submitted
a favorable report to the Commissioners on
the proposed amendment to the District ap-
propria tion bill providing for the purchase
of a site for and the erection and equip
ment Of isolation buildings.
These buildings are desired as small
pox quarantine station to take the place OF
the inadequate and rented structures now
used for such purposes. DR.. Woodward
presents strong argument in favor of the
adoption Of the amendment, and the Com
missboners will forward his report to Con-
gress with their approval
TN order to prevent the spread OF small
pox," says the health officer, "it Is neces-
sary to quarantine not only the patient, but
those who have been exposed to the patient
to such degree as to render 1t probable
that they themselves will develop the dis
ease Persons who have been thus ex-
posed must be quarantined for sufficient
length of time to show that smallpox VIII

disease can be comfortably Isolated In the
smallpox hospital. Those who have been
exposed, designated as suspects or con-
facts, must be Quarantined in their own
homes or In the quarantine station such as
Is now provided through rental for that
purpose.
