BEDFORD CITY. VA. January 1s.-
The Civic Improvement League of this
city Of which dr. s. S. lambeth. Jr..
Is president, has issued the following
statement with reference to the reports
recently gent broadcast with reference
to the existence OF typhoid fever here:
The rerorts that have recently been
given circulation concerning the preva-
1ence Of typhoid fever at Bedford City,
Va. have caused great and needless
anxiety to those who, residing else
where. have friends and relatives at
the above named place; and these re-
ports. apart from an understanding of
the facts, likewise have a tendency to
do this town unmerited injury BY
throwing suspicion upon its desirabii-
ity as a business, residential and
an educational centre. For the above
named considerations the Civic Im-
provenient League OF Bedford City
deems 1t proper to make "a full state
ments OF the facts touching the health
conditions at this place.
First. There is no panic here now;
there has been no undue excitement at
which AFFORD any Justification what
ever for such excitement.
h Second. Beginningta little more than
two weeks ago, and continuing for
a period OF some days. a form of fever
appeared in the town. chiefly among
the school children, and the cases re-
ported werc sufficiently numerous to
indicate abnormal conditions some
where.
Third. "A prompt investigation by the
proper authorities OF the town re-
vealed the fact that a farmer residing
In the mountains. about ten milesffron,
Bedford City, near the water course,
which in part suppNs the towns
water. having O case of fever IN his
family, had. Ills to be hoped, ignorant
Is, permitted this mountain stream ia
be used in such a way as to communi-
cate to 1T the typhoid germs from the
sick room.
It has been azcertained beyond reas.
enable question that the case of fever
above referred to did not originate In
Bedford county, but was contracted by
the patient While on visit to an adj
Joining county.
1t is further fact. that >the per-
son who permitted the contamination
Of thts( stream was himself at that
time. and, had been for some time
hitherto. paid employe Of 1.-The towr
