were offered such attractive sums for the rent

went to friends or nearby towns for the few
days for the sake Of the good ready cash paid

We estimate that there is at this writing fully
two thousand people stopping here at hotels,

IT IS unfortunate that several
cases of scarlet fever developed at
RehOboth this month, and that the
commercial spirit impelled the au.
Ghorities to make but little eff
fort to safeguard the public a
gainst the disease. The Board
of Health of RehobOth vii lbe
held responsible for the spread
of the disease, should it be the
source for contagon of the cities or
towns from whence the visitors at
that resort hale. On Monday last
a score of parents with their child
rem left Rehoboth for other places,
and who shall say how many cases
of scarlet fever may result from
this fact2 Up to Monday last no
effort to quarantine any house
where disease was known to exist,
had been made. or even the yellow
flags required by the state laws,
placed on houses where it exists.
This is a criminal condition of af-
fairs, and unworthy the people of
RehOboth. Monday the State
Board of Health officers went to
Rehoboth, placarded the housee,
and established a strict quarantine,
and it is now believed there is no
more danger from taking scarlet
fever, than there would be from
visitto Wilmington or Philadelphia.
Ii would have been better to have
met the situation boldly, and en-
forced the health laws.

THE iron barrel recepticals placed

degenerated into a common NUS

clouds of flies, feeding on the gar
bage and so common has this be-
come, that the grocery stores and
Others, fill them in a brief hour al
Ter the street department has emp
tied the cans. This should be
stopped effectively by removal of
che cans from the street It is
against the town laws to throw any
melon rinds, banana skins, or
other refuse on the streets, and we
call upon Town Council to enforce
that law, by having the police
arrest offenders. It is an easy mat
ter for the stores selling fruit to
keep a box to receive the skins,
and then have them emptied each
evening on the dumping grounds,
and they should be compelled to do
ehis at once.
