MAKE MAIN A PEREEcT STREET.

If the board Of public works had sur
veyed the curbing and guttering on
Main street as it stands today, it
wouldn't have held up the order for re-
surfacing the street and providing new
concrete curbs and cutters. That is,
If the board Of public works has the
proper notion as to what the main
street OF a big city should be.
To put on a new surface and leave
the old margin would be about as in
teIligent as 70 get new fur coat and
put a fringe on dating back to the
motheaten period. Main street is nat
uraIly adapted 10 be one Of the finest
business thoroughfares in the whole
country. It's breadth, its grades, its
sweep down the valley from the crown
of Capitol hill, give it advantages in
the way of landscape effects that are
usually limited to park boulevards. Its
paving and al its adornment should be
in keeping with its possibilities. Its
surface viii be fine enough when the
new paving is finished, and it should
be perfect from side TO side, with no
patchwork OF old curbing or blocks
that have been worn until they are use
less.
Further still, the business men OF the
street ought to get together and agree
to the removal of the unsightly signs
extending over the sidewalks and the
substitution of signs in artistic style,
approaching uniformity in design.
Broadway in Los Angeles is a model
n this respect as we'll as In its street
lighting effects, and Salt Lake could
well afford to take a leaf from the book
OF the CalifOTnians. In any event, the
board Of public works ought not to in
terfere with the original paving plan.

An idea Of the railroad service in south
ern Italy may be gathered from the fol .
lowing account Of an unfortunate pas
senger who travelled from Villa San Gio-
vanni in Calabria 10 Naples recently, a
trip which is generally accomplished in
twelve hours.
The passenger took the express train
atsP. NJ. on a Friday. The train started
an hour late. At 8 A. NJ. on Saturday il
was stopped by a broken bridge The
station master decided to send the pas
senzers on TO Naples by another route,
which increased the distance 500 miles.
The train after a couple Of hours fur
ther delay returned TO a junction and
waited until midnight the arrival OF an
other train bound 10 Naples. This was a
mixed train, and It took from A. NJ. OIL

GOOD OLD DAYS
WERE FILTHY.
DISEASE CARRIED OFF | IN %
London in Romantic Days Was Vcr-
liable Plague Spot-Blow to
Historic Ideals.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Between
400 and 500 students of Columbia
university attended yesterday after
noon the first of series of lectures
on Sanitary Science and Public
Health" which will be given during
February and March in the large
lecture room of the College of Ply
Isicians and Surgeons. The opening
lecture was delivered by William
Thompson Sedgwick, Phi. D., profess
sor of biology in the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology. He took for
his subject the Rise and Signif-
canoe of the Public Health Move
ment."
DR.. Sedgwick began by sketching
the sanitary condition of England in
the thirteenth century. The inhabi-
ltants were. he asserted, men littl re-
moved from the beavers which at
that time built their dams in the
Lincolnshire fens and other waste
places. In London, which was al
ready a populous city, the streets
were made of loan covered with
rushes, which harbored all kinds of
filth, and were removed only every
twenty years.
Dirt Food for Typhus.
The houses, made of wood and
plaster and matched with straw, had
dirty floors strewed with rushes.
which were swept into the street
when they had become SO incum-
bered with refuse as to render theii
! further presence in the dwellings un-
bearable.
The people lived almost entirely
on meat. mostly salt, and fruit and
vegetables were practically unknown.
Bathing was rare and sanitation was
not thought of. Dirt prevailed ev
erywhere and bred smallpox. typhus
fever, and all kinds of malignant
skin disease that were called leprosy
by the quack doctors of the period.
There were no physicians for the
poor. The monks went from house
to house to smooth the path of the
dying to the next world, not to bring
them back to this. Life was hard
for all in those days, from the peas
ant crouching in his hut to the lord
of the bare, uncomfortable castle
near by. The people did not burn
lights at night because there was
nothing to see.
| Even in the much belauded six
teenth century the inhabitants of
England, according to Prof. Sedg-
wick. had made little progress since
the time of julius Caesar. Filth still
reigned supreme, and the doors from
the Fleet ditch that flowed through
London were so powerful that they
overcame the perfume of the incense
burnt in the city churches near its
banks.
Squalor and Thievery.
| There was no ventilation either
in the houses ashore or the ships at
sea, and the death rate was one in
90. The streets were unlit and i'm
passable in wet weather and were
infested by highwaymen, while the
rivers and coasts swarmed with
pirates.
After the great plague and the fire
of London in Charles lis reign, Of
ficers were appointed to look after
the public health and see that the
streets were made wider and the
houses were more substantially
built They were the first health
officials to be appointed, but they
did not remain in office long.
The air was so bad in the parlia-
ment house at Westminster that Sir
Christopher Wren was called in to
devise scheme for ventiIating it.
