FINDS BAD FLAWS
IN STATE CAPITOL

DR.. H. M. Bracken, secretary Of the
state board Of health, today made writ
ten complaint to Charming Seabury Of
commission, and also to to Cove Governor J.
A. johnson, relative to the large public
toilet room on the ground floor Of the
new state capitol, complaining particu-
larly of what he terms "faulty con-
struetion" and ''faulty ventilation. -
"The wash basins,' he writes, "are
generally dirty. Soap is 50 dirty as to
be unfit for use. The roller towels are
usable during the first part Of the day,
but not fit to use during the later
hours of the day. There are not spit
toons in the washroom. Undoubtedly
many people spit in the wash basins.
II am not prepared to say whether
the disagreeable odors in the room are
due to faulty construction, faulty ven
tilation.. or faulty care, but am in
clined to think that they are due to
the first and second reasons rather
than the third"

that sixty-fve: human beings were bit
ten by rabid animals between Jan. l

cost Of their treatment would be more
than sufficient to maintain a Pasteur
institute in this state for year, he fig

Sixty-three Of the victims were bit
ten by dogs, one by q cow and one by
a cat. During this time rabies has
made it's appearance in twenty one diff
ferent localities, including the twin
cities, Wahpeton, Red Wing, Detroit,
breckenridge, Anoka, New Prague,
Montevideo and White Bear.
It is extremely difficult to ascer-
tain tho facts in relation to bitten
stock, and very frequently the biting
is unseen or unsupported and a dag
nosis may not be made at all. Still,
during this period Of eleven months five
horses are known to have died of rabies,
one COW, one hog and fourteen sheep,
eighty-fve dogs and one cat, whilst
one hundred and eighty-one dogs were
reported as having been shot on sus-

CITY GAINS 81 PER CENT
Building Figures Place Minneapoli
Well to the Front.

With a gain Of 81 per cent in build
ing figures over last year, Minneapo-
lis closed the month Of July showing a
total in permits of $1,600,S20. Other
cities show great increases, but few
stand higher than Minneapolis and
many cities show large decreases.
AS rule building operations in the
large cities increased handsomely in
July, as compared with the same month
Of last year with few exceptions,
notably that of Greater New York,
which has scored such tremendous re-
suits in the last few years that a
breathing spell was to be expected al
most at any time. According to official
reports to The American Contractor,
Chicago, there are no indications that
the maximum has been reached. With
a few exceptions the cities which failed
to discount their last years record are
of the the minor class and were not ex-
pected to exceed the totals of the pros
porous month Of July. 1905.
