THE MILLS ORDINANCE.

Tho Council could not do better
thing at present than to approve the
ordinance which will be introduced by
Morgan Mills tonight. looking to the
abatement of the fly nuisance. Mr.
Mills VIII propose that all food sup
plies offered for sale and all provisions
intended for patrons of eating houses
and hotels be protected from flies by
wire screens. Fresh fruits in the mar
kets,, chickens, and fish in the stalls,
berries Nln the hucksters wagons,
dishes in the restaurant kitchens-all
touch them
1t is predicted that there will be ac-
tive opposition TO this ordinance on
the part of those who are supposed to
serve the public with clean food. If
this should be the case. 1t is highly
important that the people should know
the reason for the ordinance Mr.. Mills
will introduce, and the good results
which VIII follow its adoption.
Scientists have proved. again and
again. that the fly is perhaps the
greatest single agent in spreading dis
ease. His feet are provided with pads
on which thousands of germs collect.
and owing to his wandering habits. he
walks everywhere. Men who have IN
vestgated the matter have found that
| the feet of single fly sometimes car
l.
vestlgators have identified as many as
dozen different kinds of germs from
| the feet OF fly. Typhoid fever germs,
| which are often exposed at this sea-
son of the year. are very widely car
ried by flies and may. in the simplest
way imaginable, be eaten with food
/ which has been exposed to flies.
| Here in Richmond we have suffered
| for many years from a form of ty-
phoid fever that has baffled our health
officers. Everything that science can
do for the city has been done: our wa
ter supply has been transformed, and
is now one of the best in the country;
every case of typhoid fever has been
studied; but the battling residual ty-
phod" remains. Those who are best
posted on such matters say that this
typhoid is due to flies. and can only
be prevented when the fly nuisance is
abated When il is possible to pro.
tect every case of typhoid fever. al
| excer,a from such cases and al
unlocked foods from flies, this typhoid
must disappear.
Mr.. Mills's ordinance shows how thi:
| can be done as easily as is compatible
with safety, and as cheaply as possible
It should be approved without hesita
1 ton and should be put on the ordi-
nance book without delay. This is the fly
season, the typhoid season. >and every
days delay may mean more cases of {
/ disease than can be prevented.
