rion county property owners and rent
ers for the purpose of constructing

The bandit has sent a number of
letters and postal cards to the police,
taunting them. He has telephoned
to DR.. Gleason and written to him.
Following is sample of the letter
purporting to have been sent by the
outlaw:
Il see in the papers that DR.. Glea-
son invites me to come back Tues
day evening. / politely must decline
his kind invitation, but I'll drop in,
in an informal way, before long, ana,
take 1t from me, I'll make a monkey

them completely. Au Revoir, The
Bandit"
The letters and cards are written
in variously disguised hands, and the
police are at loss TO know whether
they really came from the bandit or
from practical jokers.

LIFE OF ONE CHILD MORE
VALUED THAN DOGS
While the City of Salem Affords An
official Dog-Catcher, Says the
Mayor, It Does Not Offer Any
Protection to the Health of the
Innocent Children.

The message of the mayor, which
was placed on file, is as follows:
81 should like to make a few sug-
gestions relative to the public
health
"Our health and sanitation ordi-
dances are not sufficient protection
against the spread of disease, and
such ordinances as we have are
mostly left for enforcement to the
chief of police, whose duties are prop
, erly that of a police officer and not
health officer, -
We need laws for protection.
against the sale of unfit milk. The
state law will never take care of us
as we can take care of ourselves.
eve should exercise "a closer in
spection of meat and vegetable prod
ucts sold in the city and a stringent
supervision of the sanitary condition
of meat and fish markets.
Health and decency require tho
abolishment Of the private cesspoOl,
and as guardians of the public
health a serious duty demands rid
dance of this pest where possible and
careful regulation where it must
be tolerated.
The deposit Of unsanitary refuse
and waste anywhere in the city
should be strictly forbidden.
1--WE need a public dumping
ground and incineration plant. This
issue has been lodged for years, but
the time has come when it must be-
met. Our stream beds, streets and
alleys are stealthily used for dump
ing the accumulated filth and rub
bish of the city, entailing conditions
not only unhealthy but repulsive TO
sight and disgraceful to the city.
"The deplorable need of some
proper place for the housing and
care of public charges suffering with
contagious diseases was never more
emphatically shown than when re-
Gently we were required to use the
city hall for a diphtheria hospital.
II do not believe in a multiplicity
of officers. | think the simplest
government the best, but l do believe
in thorough government. We have
21 men for fire protection, six for
preservation of peace and none TO pro
tect the health and lives of our peo-
pie, save a practicing physician with
a acknowledgements salary and
who cannot be expected to neglect
his practice for so paltry a sum.
why shouldn't we nave Sani-
tary officer charged with the protec-
tion of the public health?
I'VE have a dog catcher to reglate
dogs, but one little child's life is of
more Importance, gentlemen. than all
the dogs that ever roamed the streets
Of Christendom.
If we must economize in other
respects in order to properly guard
the city's health, let us SO econo-
mize.
"In view Of the situation herein
respectfully request that
your honorable body make provision.
IN the forthcoming budget, for the

No Changes.

Ackert, vice-president and general
manager of the Southern Railway
company, referring today to the per-
sistent publication Of reports of I'M
pending changes in the operating de-
partment Of that company, said:
"There is no foundation, whatever,
for any of these publications. The
various reports and rumors that have
been in circulation and have found
their way into the newspapers have
come from sources without informa-
ton as to the plans and purposes OF
the management Of the company. No
such changes as have been reported
are contemplated. Don the contrary,
the present personnel and organiza-
ton of the operating department are
highly satisfactory to the manage
ment, and We doubt whether there
exists in the organization of any rail-
way company in the country more ef-
ticient and loval teamwork than the
Southern Railway company now has
in its operating department. -
