WANT THEIR
FOWL DRAWN
Health Board Experts Impress
Upon Committee Horrors
Of PtOmaine Poisoning
MANY OBJECTIONS MADE

Before the Law and Finance Com
mittees OF City Council last night two
matters OF much importance to health
of the citizens OF Wilmington were
discussed by medical experts OF the
city and representatives Of the Board
OF Health.
fhe first was the ordinance submit
ted to the Law Committee Of Council
by the Board Of Health, prohibiting
the offering for sale OF undrawn poul-
try. This ordinance was returned to
the Law Committee OF City Council
by the City Solicitor some few weeks
ago and returned 10 the Board of
Health for amendment on account Of
some technicality in the phraseology OF
the ordinance.
Drs. Howell and stubbs. OF the
Board OF Health, and DIT. A. Robin.
city bacteriologist. appeared before the
committees to urge Of the passage Of
the ordinance tomorrow night.
Dr. Stubbs made the first statement
which was TO state the various objec-
tons which he had heard to the pro-
posed law. These he classed under two
heads First, that many housewives
desired to draw their own poultry in
order that they might be able to de-
tect any disease that might be preva-
lent In the fowl. and second, that the
fowl IN an undrawn condition would
be more liable to infection by flies and
from dirt when presented for sale
than the undrawn poultry.
Not Material Objections
These objections, DR.. stubbs de-
clared. were not material ones to the
ordinance. II was very rarely that a
housewife could detect from the en-
trails the fact Of the prevalence OF a
disease in the fowl. An enlarged liver
or some sother peculiar condition in the
Viscera itself would be the exception
rather than the rule in most cases. and
IL would be the exceptional city house
wife who could detect those condi-
tions even then. Secondly. the danger
from infection by flies or dirt Is vast
ly less under proper care in exhibiting
the fowl for sale than It is when the
entrails containing poisons and put.
resent matter are permitted to remain
in the dead fowl any length of time
These poisons give rise to ptomain,
poisoning OF a serious nature. and the
danger from infection is great.
Or. Robin followed DR. Subbs with /;
statement regarding the danger from
poisoning in undrawn poultry left il
cold storage. He referred the com
mittee to the report OF the Board o
Health OF the State Of Illinois on thii
very subject, quoting the United States

GARBAGE MEN
SCORED AGAIN
Board of Health Tells Council
Committee it Owes Public
Some Duty
RED TAPE EXCUSE MADE

Before the law and finance commit
tees Of City Council last night, in con-
nection with the ordinance prohibiting
the sale of undrawn poultry. the mem
bers Of the Board of Health brought
up the matter of garbage collection
again.
The discussion which followed the
statement of Dr. Harrison w. Howell
was a lively one indeed. and the mat
ter of graft newspaper trial Of cases
and the various other trials and tribu-
lations Of the city father were drag
ged into the argument neck and heels.
DR.. Howell prefaced his statement to
the committee by a remark that
wlWher the contractors term expired
in three weeks or "a hours they should
be made to live up to their contracts
and collect all the garbage. He then
called upon Secretary Wigglesworth to
make report on the matter of COM
plants.
Mr.. Wigglesworth stated that in 1908
there were 4.4O3 complaints in 12
months that in 1904 the then secretary
of the Board declared that garbage
collection was better than the year
previous and still hetter" was his re-
port for the year 1905.
Over 5000 Complaints
For the last eight months" de-
clared Secretary Wigglesworth, there
have been 4,297 complaints regarding
failure to make garbage collections, or
within 100 of the number during the
whole year of 1903, and at the rate
the complaints are now coming in the
number viii be considerably over 5000
before the new law goes into effect"
Mr.. McGovern at this point inter-
rupted Secretary Wigglesworth to ask
whether the secretary Of the Board Of
Health was not required by ordinance
to make monthly reports to City
Council. Mr.. Wigglesworth said he
understood such an ordinance did exist
but that It had been declared unconsti-
tutional by the City Solicitor. Some
discussion arose over this point, then
DR.. Howell proceeded with his re-
marks.
