FINDS TYPHOID IN DUST.
Nesbit Would Make Car Companies
SprinlzIe Tracks.

To prevent the spread Of disease germs,
found in clouds of dust raised by the
street cars, Charles T. Nesbit has re-
Quested the Commissioners to ask Con-
gress to pass a law to compel the street
car companies to sprinkle their tracks.
Mr.. Nesbit says that a physician, who
recently washed an apple taken from a
street stand in water that did not con-
tain typhoid fever germs. found after
ward that the water contained "as many
germs as would be found to-day in a
hundred barrels Of Potomac water"
/ am inclined to think he says, that
no small part Of the typhoid of this city
is to be traced to the clouds of dust from
the streets, most of which is raised by the
cars The question of securing legisla-
ton on the subject has not been decided
by the Commissioners.
