 Birmingham. Oct. 19-(SpeciaD- --The Traffic and Transportation Association will be organized in Birmingham Tues. day afternoon following a regular quarterly meeting of the Alabama Car Service Association.

BACTERIA FEW IN LAST YEAR Report of the City Bacteri-
 ologist. WATER AND MILK ANALYSIS Both Show Montgomery is Holding Her Health Record. Belief of B. A. Taylor After observa- ton That Majority of Typhoid Cases Came From with
 cut City.

Tn his annual report to the city phy- teriologist B. A. Taylor gives a detail ed account of his work during the fis' cal year 1907-0s. The work done ir the department of bacteriology. chem istry, milk, meat inspection and per ishable foods is recited by MT. Taylor and while bacteria were found to be thick in some- quarters in may ways Montgomery is to be congratulated on her excellent health conditions.
 One of the most interesting features of this report is the summary of bac- astrological examinations of typhoid The conclusion Is reached that the majority of cases of typhoid fever com ing under the observation of the bac- teriologist were contracted outside the city and not from the milk and water supply.
 A full list of examinations made of milk samples for private persons Is given in the report as are also the specific analyses of milk consumed from the dairies supplying the city.
 The amount of work accomplished makes 1t clear that the city of Mont gornery has one of the best manned and equipped laboratories in the South. The report in part is as follows:
 Dr. Gaston J. Griel, City Physician,
 Montgomery, Ala.
 Dear sir--In accordance with regu- lations, herewith submit my annual report of the work accomplished in this department for the year ending. September 30. 1908.

With only one harness race on the card the first days racing at the State Fair did not give hint as to what is coming later in the week. MT.

Jim Works acted badly from the start in the first and second heats. the fact that the dis tance flag was waived in the first heat being all that saved him.

 Bacterial counts were made from the milk of different dairies; in some instances, the maximum being above three million to the cubic centimeter and the minimum below thirty thous- and.
 Proper sterilization and cleaning of the bottles and cans in which milk is. delivered will greatly diminish the number of bacteria. After close ob- servation and examination, I am of the opinion that the majority of cases
