Tue CITY HEALTH BOlRD.

Much has been said recently
about the city health board and
much may yet be said. There is
an effort to give the board more
power which doubtless would be
good thing. 1t should certain.
" have power to enforce regula.
tons for the best interests of the
city.
However, it now has much
power that is not exercised, and
many dirty, filthy and unhealthy
places are allowed to remain in
the heart of the city, which
should be attended to, the fol-
lowing being a few Of them:
The vacant lot on Main street
opposite the public library.
The vacant lot on which the
old Hotel Carolina was is a mass
of rubbish, old wells, sewer holes
and is a dumping ground for
rubbish from many sources, not
not to mention the high weeds
that made it impossible for the
sun to dry out.
Then there are stables in
various sections that are a stencil
to people that have to pass by
that way that should be given
better attention.
The above are just a few Of
the places in the center of Dur
ham that should receive the at
tention of the health board and
just why they should be allowed
to remain in their present con-
dition cannot be understood BY
people that have sanitary mar
always on hand in their back
yard in the suburbs to call then
down for thowing out a basin Of
dish water.

He First Delivered His Cooper Union
Speech at Elwood.

Kos Harris, of Wichita, in letter
to the historical society, suggests that
the ancient town of. Elwood, in Doni-
phan county, is a point of historical
value. Mr.. Harris says he finds that
Abraham Lincoln, February 81, 1860, at
Cooper institute in New York, made a
speech that really was one of the fac
tors in his nomination at Chicago in
May, 1860. Then in Wilder's Annals of
Kansas, 1856, page 2S5, he finds this
December 1, 1S59-Lincoln arrived in
Elwood, Kan, and made speech. He
der and Judge Delahay. His speech
was substantially the same thereafter
delivered in Cooper institute in New
York city. Subsequently Lincoln made
a speech at Troy, Doniphan, AtchiSon
and Leavenworth.''
''I do not know how big Elwood is, .
Mr.. Harris said, but I am sure that
Kansas should have marker at Ell
wood as near the place this speech was
made as it can be placed. The mark
err should mention that on this spot
was made the first speech of Abraham
Lincoln in Kansas
The little town also sent forth
Daniel w. Wilder, Edward Russell,
Thomas A. Osborn and General Albert

of the Seventh Kansas Jayhawkers;

DOESN'T LIKE THIS LAW.
Mr.. Sharitt Says New Insurance Reg
uIatiOn Is Expensive.

George Sharitt, clerk of the United
States circuit court, does not approve
of the socalled reform movements in
Kansas if they are all as expensive as
the alleged reduction in insurance
ceiving the supposed twelve per
rates, he was this week compelled to
the rating three years ago.
Il have just received the policy on
stone building in Leayenworth
which I own said Sharitt, land this
reform movement has cost me just
1928 on my insurance in addition to
improvements on the building re-
quired by reform insurance laws.
Three years. ago | paid SIG for insur-
ance on the building. Since than l
have added fire escapes, fire extin-
guishers and other, repairs at consid-
cradle expense; not $50 much because
the building really needed them, but
because the law said it was neces-
sary. This week my insurance pol
icy expired. I had it renewed. The
premium this year was $500, al
though the insurance commissioner s
office says that there has been some
material reductions in rates They
overlooked my building iIs making up
the ratings. 1 told Mr.. Barnes Of
flee about it and they promised to
look it up. In the meantime / am
out $500 premium over over three
years ago in addition to the twelve
per cent discount to which 1 am told
| was entitled
