INSPECTION of Live Stock.

Another feature of the food-inspection
work that should be strengthened by Con-
gress is the inspection of live stock. The
Strengthening of animals at slaughter
houses engaged in interstate commerce is
carefully supervised by the Federal Gov
eminent. but no satisfactory provision is
made for the control of establishments
within the District engaged i'll purely local
trade. The veterinary inspectors in the
service OF the health department keep
these places under such control as Is
practicable. but until legislation is en-
acted restricting or making it possible for
the commissioners to restrict the hours
of slaughter and to regulate the inspec-
ton of live stock brought to these estab-
lishments, both before and after slaugh-
ter no great improvement can be looked

Increased Police Force.

The development of the various interests
OF the District of Columbia during the
fiscal year necessarily made extraordinary
demands upon the inadequate police force
In no other city In the country are the re-
Guirements OF the police service so multi
tudinous and varied as in this Jurisdiction
This is due to the many laws which i'm
pose specific duties upon the police force
while the enforcement of the police regu-
lations. which are very numerous, is a
burden in itself. Notwithstanding all the
eNtraneous work which the police force is
required 10 perform. public order has been
creditably maintained and criminal Of
lenses have been comparatively few. The
department of police has preserved the
excellent reputation 1t has enjoyed for
years at home and abroad.
There is no question that the force
ought TO be increased numerically and
the addition of - men. which has been
asked for by the Commissioners while
rot affording the full strength which is
deemed requisite, ought to be granted by
Congress. I'm view of the fact that no SUBJ
Stantiai Increase to the force has been
made for many years, although. in the
meantime, the territory demanding close
supervision has extended while the neces-
Sity of detailing officers 10 post and spe-
tiaI duties has Increased with the growt h
of the capital.

dents in these outlying sections insistently

he afforded equal safeguards with their
felow-citizens in the more congested dis
trcts. The nature of the social life at
the capital is such that unusual demands
are made upon the police force in pre-
serving order at largely attended official
and private functions while details have
to be made whenever professions OF ma
tional or local interest occur.
The detail OF the force has occupied the
careful attention of the Commissioners
and the major and superintendent of po-
lice and il is believed that the number is
now reduced 10 the minimum point con-
sistent with the best interests of society.
The fact is. however. that in making al
lowance for absence on leave on account
Of sickness or other causes and assign
ments IN post and special duties there are

examinations were made of candidates for
admission to the normal schools-1m
white and 131 colored Twelve hundred
and forty-eight pupils were examined
physically at the request of the board of
education to determine whether. unoer

might be issued permits TO perform GER

Public Crematorium.
The public crematorium. established by
act of Congress of April ~, 1908. was put
into operation in October. 1905. The
Commissioners have prescribed fee of
So to be collected from persons desiring
to have bodies incinerated. when such
persons or the estate of the deceased is
able to pay the cost of the service. Be
tween the date when the crematorium was
put into operation and the end Of the f1S-
cal year the bodies of 81 adults and $50
infants have been cremated.
Food-Inspection Service.
The effort heretofore made looking to-
ward the improved sanitation of places
where food is prepared or held for sale
or sold has been continued during the
past year Regulations have been pro-
mulgated to that end in certain cases and
existing regulations amended when neces-
sary.
Milk inspection continues to form prob
ably the most important part of the food
inspection service. 1t needs. however. to
be REINFORCED by the establishment of a
general meteorological laboratory, so as
to enable the health officer better to SUI
pervise and direct the work of the in
spectors and better TO control the char
acter of the milk and cream sold within
the District. AS an index to the good that
may already be fairly attributable to the
milk-inspection service, the following fig
llres are of interest:

Board of Charities.

Since the organization OF the Board of
Charities the commissioners have steadily
supported its policies. At the time of
months after it's appointment, the board
took firm stand against the subsidy
system then SO prevalent in the District
of Columbia, declaring that ''the board
Is unanimously of the opinion that a
sound public policy demands that COM
plete public control should in every case
reach as far as public money The
board has consistently followed the policy
then announced with the result that
while at that time there were sixteen
institutions receiving subsidies. there are
now but two. Most of these institutions
have been placed on the contract basis.
but a few have been entirely eliminated
from the appropriation bill.
Conditions at the workhouse were moth
ing less than abominable. .Appropria tons
have been secured for the building of two
new wings. and for various other i'm
provements. which have greatly bettered
conditions at that institution. In 1908 a
prison commission was appointed to in
vestigate and report upon the penal and
reformatory system of the District, and
after receiving the report of this COM
mission Congress appropriated the money
for the purchase of two tracts of land
containing not less than 1000 acres each,
on one of which is to be erected a work
house and on the other a reformatory

activity along the lines indicated in pre-
vious reports. Reference is made to the
radical improvements planned and in
process of being carried into effect by the
commission on penal and reformatOry in
situations.
The work of medical charities is care
fully reviewed, and a detailed report Of
the years work of the new tuberculosis
hospital is given. The work of this new
institution has proven to be most salts
factory, and 1t Is already apparent that
the hospital will be an institution of very
great usefulness to the community. En-
phasis Is laid upon the fact that there is
still urgent need for better facilities for
mental. chronic and convaescent pa
private charities. The private hospitals
will not take these patients, and the
board urges earnestly the Importance of
appropriations for additional buildings on
the District hospital site.
Attention is called to the need of better
dispensary service, and suggestions are
made in this direction. The board reports
that 1t has made an extensive investiga-
tion into the whole subject of child-caring
work in the District, and will at an early
date submit special report upon this
subject
The board suggests the need of a pub
lie administrator or other similar Off
Ger, who might handle the estates of de-
ceased persons who die interstate, es-
pecially when such persons, as is fire.

tent. possible without undue expense.
District Litigation.
The legal interests of the District have
received careful and successful attention.
The only case heard in the Supreme Court
of the United Stat as in which the District
was interested resulted in a decision in
favor of the municipal government, sus-
tanning a Waterman assessment which
was at issue There are now five cases
remaining undisposed of in the highest
court The sixth case, which was to re-
view the action of the court of appeals
in granting writ of prohibition against
the Washington Gas Light Company has
been dismissed by the counsel for the gas
company. thus ending the litigation OF
the 26 District cases decided in the court
of appeals, decision was given in % cases
in favor of the District and against the
District in only cases, while in the low
er courts suits against the District for
injuries resulting from defects in public
highways. which aggregated $3.50 in the
amounts claimed, resulted in judgments
against the District in the sum of S7.10O.
This amount will be reduced by $1,000 in
the case of O'Dwyer, because the North
ern Market Company is liable and the
District will not be required to pay the
Judgment. Twenty street extension cases
and general condemnation cases were
tried, and of l. alley condemnation cases
3 were discontinued. determined and 6
are pending.
Some provision should be made for the
amendment of an assistant in the cor
poration counsel's office. whose work
should be exclusively confined to the jul
venie court. inasmuch as 2.119 informa-
tons We're filed in this court during the
year the work demanding the time and
attention of counsel whose duties are al
ready onerous and we'll defined. The ap-
pointment of law clerk, as recommend
ed by the commissioners. would meet this
deficiency and he would also afford val

Medical Inspection of Schools.

The medical inspection of public schools
was first established In the District by act
of March g. 1903 There were provided
at that time twelve medical inspectors
and there has been increase in the
number OF such inspectors since. 1t is
manifest, therefore. that the growth of
this service has not kept pace even with
the mere physical growth of the school
system And when the enlarged concep-
ton of the functions of medical inspection
which now exists is compared with the
conception Of the functions of such in
spection which existed when the service
was established, it is manifest that the
service can not accomplish what sani-
tarians and educational authorities of to-
day expect and demand of it. An in
crease in the number of inspectors. the
provision for school nurses, and special
provision for supervising the entire work
are urgently needed and are recommend
ed by the Commissioners.
During the school term l9OS-9 the twelve
medical inspectors made 9.197 visits to
school buildings an average of 4.3 visits
per school day per inspector. During the
same period los visits. were made to resi-
dences of pupils. Fifteen thousand four
hundred and forty-three examinations of
pupils were made 1895. of which were
for the purpose of determining whether
the children who had been absent from
school from various causes might safely
return. In 1855 cases the exclusion OF
pupils from school was ordered. Physical

The fire department has done it's duty
as we'll as it's facilities permitted. One
of the most important improvements de-
sired in the re-protection service--one
which, the Commiss toners have advocated
since the year 19O1-is the installation of
a high pressure water service in the bust
ness section of the city. Under condi-
tions as they exist today the District of
Columbia, without this high pressure
water supply. is not provided with ade-
quate fire protection. Should two more
large fires occur at the same time the
entire equipment of the department would
be called out: and if an additional fire
occurred In another portion of the city
great damage and possible loss of life
would result before aid could be rem
dered The installation of the proposed
high pressure system in the business sec
ton of the city would insure All possible
fire protection for the said section. and
would also increase the protection now
afforded the residential and suburban
sections. as the high-power engines now
in service in the business center would be

Fire Loss.

According TO the report of the chief en-
gineer, there were received during the
year 5O6 bell alarms and 494 local alarms

9i7.
The total loss from fire during the past
year shows a decrease of S266.5O over the
loss for the preceding year. This de-
crease in the fire loss, understanding
the rapid growth of the city and the de-
velopment of the suburbs, is most graft
flying to the commissioners and is due in
great part, it is believed, to the work of
fire prevention as now carried on by the
fire department. the building department

OF knowledge relative to fire risks, has
been given close attention during the
