Citv Council Passed Ordinance
 Last Night DOCTOR ID NEW ORLEANS City Will Pay Expenses of Physician to Go to Crescent City and In- vestigate Yellow Fever
 at That Place

At the meting of the City Council last night resolution was unanimously adopt ed making it an offense to spread any false rumors or reports of yellow fever.
 The resolution was introduced by AL i derman Jones' and is in line win similar resolutions passed by the councils of many other cities.
 This action was taken to prevent the spread of any untrue reports which might originate in Birmingham and which would have tendency to alarm the people. It was in keeping with the general move ment in Birmingham to be in position to control the situation absolutely and to The resolution, which carries the same weight as an ordinance and which must be obeyed as any other law of the city, is as follows:
 The Resolution.
 Be it resolved by the Mayor and Alder men of Birmingham, That any person convicted of originating or spreading d false report as to the existence in the city of Birmingham or in the Birmingham district, of any contagious or infectious disease or any epidemic, shall be fined not less than $5 nor more than $50.
 Be it further rer~lved that the police department is requested to enforce this resolution as well as all other ordinances of like kind or character"
 Other Action.
 Other important action taken by the council was to provide for the expenses of any physician that the county board of health might desire to send to New Or leans to study at that place the yellow fever situation. Alderman Gray intro duced the resolution to that effect, and 1t was unanimously carried The reso1u- ton instructs Mayor Ward to confer with the members of the Jefferson County Medical Society, acting as the county board of health, relative to sending physician to New Orleans
 The Mayor was empowered to pay the expenses of any physician whom the so- ciety might designate to take this trip Tie idea is that some physician, prefer ably one who occupies an official position with the city, or some official of the med ical society, might go to New Orleans and make thorough study of yellow fever and thus be the better able to handle a case should it occur in Bir- mingham.
 Many physicians in the city have never seen a case of yellow fever, and some of them are frank to confess their ignor- arce regarding one. Not many are fa- miiar from actual experience with the modern methods of handling the cases and the council thought 1t would be an excellent idea to have competent phy- sicial to study the New Orleans situation and methods of treatment.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-08-03
The Recommendation.

Resolved That the board of health re-
 commend to the Mayor that a quarantine
 be established against Montgomery. The resolution was passed after lengthy meeting of the medical society by an almost unanimous vote, only six
 voting against it. Dr. E. H. Sholl, chair man of the health committee, announced
 the decision of the society to Mayor Ward
 and handed him the following authority for his action. which is section of the
 quarantine law
 Be 1t further enacted, that upon the re-
 commendation of the board of health of county and subject to the approval of
 the state board of health, quarantine may
 be proclaimed for a county by the pro- bate judge thereof, or in case of his ina
 bility to act then by the presiding officer of the board of commissioners or of rev. enue and for an incorporated city or town by the mayor or chief executive thereof: Provided, that in case of emer- gency quarantine may be proclaimed by said officer without such recommendation, subject. however, to the approval or modi- hcation of the board of health of the county.

strics Sweeping System.

q have also adopted a new system in street sweeping which has practically done away with the dust nuisance, re- garding which there was so much conn plaint l have increased the salary of the drivers on the sweepers 25 cents per day. When they raise any dust and there is complaint against them they receive no salary whatever When there Is no complaint they draw their salary.
 T have not had a complaint in the past three or four months, and I think that the dust nuisance has been effectu- ally stopped. l hope that the citizens will report any trouble in the future.
 What Birmingham needs is a crema- tory That Is the only effectual man ner to dispose of a city's trash and gar bage. It would require about s25,ooo or sao, ,ooo to build one, anu one will be built whenever the city has the necessary money.
 "A crematory not only consumes all tke trash and garbage. but 1t also de- stroys the offensive odor and all germs that might arise from trash or decaying vegetable matter. 1t makes no difference how far the trash is carried from the city and dumped. there is always some decaying vegetable matter which is apt to breed germs, but a crematory destroys all these risks and 1t Is the only safe manner of getting ride of the trash.
 When the two new systems were in- algurated they increased the effectiveness of the departmentment fully 50 per cent. ard consequently improved the city's health In the same ratio by ridding it of that percentage of germ generating ma terial.''

How City is Divided.

Twentieth street divides the city east and west and the railroad divides 1t into the northern and eastern portions. One superintendent has charge of the work north of the railroad and east of Twen- tieth street. Another has charge north of the railroad and west of Twentieth street. The same Is true of the two dis tricts south of the station.
 These white men accompany the wagons and see that the work is properly done. Each man starts out with several wagons in the morning and as soon as one is filled 1t Is sent to the dumping ground and the driver is given instruc- lions where to meet the superintendent of his district when .ie returns.
 We are able to load about 30 per cent more trash on each wagon than we could when negroes were in charge. We can also make more trips daily to the dump ing grounds. Thus we increase the eff fectveness of the service in two ways. making more trips and carrying larger loads. In addition to that the white men see that the negroes clean up more ef- fectually and that all the trash in each district Is removed
 With the present equipment we can not visit the residence portions of the city more than once each week. but in the business sections the service is much more frequent. This city is increasing more rapidly than any one could realize unless they could see the immense in- crease in the territory to be cleaned and the amount of trash and garbage to be disposed of

 Tn regard to the collection of the trash and garbage by the wagons the new plan is eminently successful and enables us to get around oftener, collect much larger amount of trash and dispose of it to better advantage.

has there been such a gathering
as there has been here this week
attending the encampment of the

The city, which swung its gates
of welcome wide open to greet the
vetrans and visitors has done its
duty in no small degree in making
it pleasapt for all, and this is espe-

place. j. M Williams the register

speed of chiragraphy.' His oblig-

the visitors who are say ing all
kinds of good things about him as
well as of the other officials at the
headquarters.

was held at Central Baptist church
and besides short addresses very
interesting program was the fea-
ture Of the evening.
The magnificent street parade
Wednesday with 20,00Oin limo was
viewed by about 100000 people.
Forty nine states we're represented
and the fife and drum corps and
bands made the old veterans think
of the days of '61-'65 when they
carried the musket to defend the
flag that made America free.
OF the great applause that was
given TO the various delegations in
the line of march there were none
more vigorously cheered than that
of sthe colored delegation from
Louisiana in charge of Charles w.
Keeting, department commander
and Noah Spiller, assistant adju-
tant general These veterans car
ried a piece of sugar cane with cot
ton bolls on the top, and just be
low them were sheaves of rice.
They were all prominent and
representative men and like all the
rest, have spoken their opinion in

their treatment in Denver.
