The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1910-12-23

Union City is feeling the benefits of
an enterprising spirit that has not long
been seen III this good town The Com
mercial Club and the citizens are taking
a more active interest in the work.
The work Of our sewerage is in progress
and the good roads movement is on,
As the new year is approaching we want
to urge a greater interest and greater
unanimity in the work. A number Of
very good suggestions have been made
in the papers and otherwise, and all to
the end that an organized movement
may develop some definite plans.
Many of the suggestions for a good
roads campaign have been discussed at
citizens meetings. Some time ago
John I. Walker suggested forming the
Thirteenth Civil District into a taxing
district through special act Of the Leg

"clean bill of health" " The blame
was placed upon the well water of
the town of Newark and the Board
recommended that these wells be
condemned, that cess pools be aband-
oned and that the town of Newark
introduce as soon as possible a
sewerage system. The State Board
of Health found that there were only
seven cases of typhoid out of which
but two deaths occurred-Prof Fend-
enberger of the College Faculty and
John Ennis, a student, whose home
was in Dover. All the other cases
recovered. No blame was attached
to the College. The buildings,
grounds, water supply thereto, were
reported to be in frst-class sanitary
condition. The typhoid cases had
their origin in the infected we'll at
the home of Prof. Fendenberger and
to other we'll water pollution. The
report is signed by A. F. Frantz,
president and j. w. Dewitt, s.cre-
tary 1t is refreshing tc learn that
the blame can no longer be placed
on the College but to the town of
Newark where it belongs. The cit
liens of that town should speedily
and without delay look into its sani-
tary conditions and carry out the
recommendations of the State Board of
Health, and introduce a sewerage
system. To this end the College
authorities and the officials of the
State to whom the College belongs,
should lend every effort and CO.
operate. The College frog every
standpoint of education and equip
ment is inviting and now offers
splendid opportunities to Delaware
boys but parents will be rather cau-
tious about sending their sons there
until the conditions of the town of
Newark are righted and a clean
sanitary bill of health assured.

Pertinent to Wilmington City

Pertinent to Wilmington City's
government the Morning News says
"In connection with the muddle over
the failure to record the yea and nay
votes taken at Dover in respect to
the bill providing for the amendment
of the city charter, it is demon
strated that great deal of confidence
is reposed in the clerks of the Senate
and House. 1t is not hard to under
stand how the clerk of one house
might fail to record the yea and nay
vote on a measure requiring such
recording, but it does seem strange
that the clerks of both houses should
have forgotten to make the proper
entries in their journals.
cit should be the duty of the
committees on enrolment and the
enrolling clerks to be certain that
bill has been properly passed and
recorded before it is enrolled. Furth-
er, the custom of omitting the read
ing of the journal every day-for the
day before-is dangerous, as it ap-
pears. We do not know whether or
not the journals for the days on which
the defective act was passed were
read or not. If they were read and
nobody discovered the fact that the
vote was not recorded, then it makes
it evident that some other system
should be devised to guard against
similar mishaps. For the first time,
we believe, an act has been set aside
because the vote on the bill creating
it was not placed OIL the journals.
Now that this has come to pass it
is to be supposed that it will never
happen again.
At the same time future General
Assemblies should provide for the
proper checks and certifcations to
prevent what has caused so much
talk and trouble. 1t is not unusual
for legislative bodies, when in a
hurry, to omit the reading of min
utes, but that custom should be
abandoned. Clerks are not infallible
and the object of reading minutes is
to discover whether or not the prop
er entries have been made. Then il
should be the duty of the enrolling
clerks, and all others who have to dc
with a legislative enactment, to as
sure themselves that the law ha!
been obeyed and that the rules laiC
down have been followed to the let.

she was found half an hour later by

she was crying induced her to speak.

Doesn't Know Her Ace.

There is glaring phase Of unfair
ness In the position Of the two sexes,
despite all our struggles for the suf-
frage. A woman still breads to tell
her age, no matter how youthful she
may look. while as long as man
looks youthful he is generally willing
to admit and even to boast of how
many milestones he has passed. There
Is at least one father who understood
this problem in time and who gave
his daughter fair chance in life by
never letting. her know how old she
was. He realized at her birth that a
time would come when she would not
want to tell her age, and he spared her
the humiliation of having to prevari-
cate, so she was never told either her
age or the place where she was born,
and there were no birth records pre-
