II. E. Packard. the inspector, remains

alter the progress of the plans. The
gross length of the intake pipe is 25.5
feet. A Golfer darn has been construct
ed on the shore and the pipe is laid in
land from the Golfer dam fo- about 100
feet.
The Golfer dam itself is about 2S2 feet
long and varying in width from IL 70
166 feet, being wider at the extreme
end. The pipe itself runs out into the
lake for a distance of $50 feet even be-
yond the Golfer dam, and it is by using
this system that pure water from the
deepest parts of the lake is assured.
The construction of the Golfer dam is
interesting. The outer parts are staunch
and appear to be well fitted to with
stand the elements. Giant logs and fill
ing form the greater part of the dam
and il is fully as substantial as it looks.
From this the long pipe was first float
ed and then sunk and the line is COM
plete and finished for a total length of
over 500 feet.
The work on the installation Of the
intake began during the last week in
July and it will be completed before
the snow flies. Inspector Packard said:
Tine Carleton pond intake is reported
to be progressing very favorably, and
when that. too. is completed, Augusta
may well feel proud of her new public
water system. A more thoroughly in
teresting or profitable afternoon could
nOt be better passed than in an inSpec-
ton Of the work as it is progressing,
and especially SO as it is now in its
most interesting stages

Pensacola in 1882 was only about
one fourth as large as Pensacola in
1905, vet there were more than four

than any other public servant within
the purview Of the government.
The conditions which make a health
officer necessary are in themselves
distasteful to the people always. No
one feels entirely comfortable with
a cordon Of armed guards about him.
] Everyone is more or less incon-
Tenieced by quarantine restrictions,
and it is human nature to chafe under
such conditions and to want to fix the
responsibility and the blame on some
one.
The health officer in command of
the situation naturally gets the brunt
OF the criticism. While e is not re-
sponsible for the existence Of disease.
he seems to get the blame for it. If
things so right he gets scant praise.
and if they 60 wrong he is over
whelmed with censure.
Pensacola is, We believe, a typical
community, and DR.. Porter's stay here
has probably not been different from
what it would have been, under stint
lar conditions, almost anywhere. He
has come in for the usual amount OF
Icensure. and many who were not &C
quainted with the circumstances have
not failed to inoulge in criticism
freely
But regardless Of this thoughtless
censure and indiscriminate criticism.
the state health officer has pursued
the even tenor of his way, doing his
duty as he saw it, and handling the
situation with a degree Of frmness
and ability such as few men, under
SIMILAR circumstances, could have
done.
It is altogether likely that DR.. Por-
ter made some mistakes-he would
be a peculiar sort Of man if he had
not-but it is The Journals honest be
lief that he has done for Pensacola as
wen as any other man could have
done and far better than most men
would be likely TO do. He has waged
fight which ended the epidemic be-
fore frost and he has demonstrated
that science can be, and is, the master
or a disease that for centuries has
been the terror Of all tropical eli
mates. He has confined the fever to
one locality, the balance Of the state
enjoying as a result of his protective
measures, complete immunity from its
presence.
