HEALTH OFFICER IS
 MAKING GOOD RECORD
MIR. sPAULDlNG STATES THAT HE HAS COOPERATION OF
 CITIZENS.
Condition of Things Already Much improved-Has Widened Field of Work of His Wagons-Nunber to Be Increased Shortly.

Health Officer Tom Spaulding is making splendid progress with the work of cleaning up and putting the city in the best sanitary condition it has ever known.
 Mir. Spaulding stated yesterday that in this work the sweeping rains that have been had in the last several days have assisted him materially. With the aid that they have extended in carrying away vast amounts of re- fuse and in bringing accumulation or fifth from the hills to the lower ground where the scavenger wagons can get them, he is encouraged to be lieve he will soon have things in the best condition possible without the help of a sewer.
 Two teams and wagons are now employed by Mir. Spaulding on the scavenger wagon routes. A third wagon and team are available DOT tion of the time for the handling of dry garbage Shortly it is expected that third scavenger wagon that has been ordered by the city will arrive, when the regular order of wagons will be increased by addition of a new one, while a fourth wagon will be at dis posal part of the time. With this equipment Mir. Spaulding thinks he will be able to keep the town clean after he once gets it in that condition
 At the present time the scayenger system is employing six men. MT. Spaulding looks to it that they do their work well and according to di- rectons. He has materially widen ed the field of work of the wagons, and expects to still further perfect the system When the wagons start out at night they have their work mapped out for them by the health officer, and he is around part of the night and early in the morning to see that it has been done according to instrUc- tions. During the day he makes a personal inspection Of things relat- ing to his department about the city, and is thus enabled to fix his instruc- tions inteiligently for the night work of the wagons.
 Regarding the attention paid by property owners to orders to clean up that he has found it necessary to is sue. Mir Spaulding states that he has met with hearty cooperation in near ly every instance. But one notice has in most cases been necessary to secure work done that he has stated would be necessary. Following the first issuance of an order to clean up, the health officer takes himself away for 24 hours. He then returns to see if the work has been commenced or done. In the event that it has not been started with evident intention of carrying it to completion as speedily as possible, the health officer gives his second notice, which informs the dilatory party that just 24 hours more will be allowed in which to get busy in a way that will allow of no doubt as to sincere intentions. As yet he has had TO case in which the second no tice did not operate effectively. to the end of putting the complained of place in good condition with the re- fuse objected to so placed that the scavenger wagons had no difficulty in getting to it.
 Physicians of the city, who get about it in more general way than anybody else, state that MT. Spauld- ing is making an enviable record. and that 1t the manner of his work keeps up to the present standard it will not be long before the benefits to be de- rived therefrom will be materially felt in much improved health in the town.
