Splitting Laws Poorly Enforced

Anticipating ordinances, laws and
regulations in more than f1ve-eighths oil
the cities and towns of the country are
not enforced as they should be, alleges
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis in a
bulletin issued to-day. While most Of
the larger cities of the United States
have such laws on their books, In the
great majority of cases they are ignored
or overlooked.
The bulletin Is preliminary to more
extensive study of the subject which will
bs presented at the next meeting of the
National Association In Washington or
May 3, by Robert j. Newton of St. Louis
1t covers in detail the enforcement of the
anti.spitting ordinances in 80 of the
largest cities in the country. During
the year 1909 in these so cities, 3,42l ar
rests were made for violation of the laws
regarding splitting in public places. Over
2. 900 convictions were secured, and
81, 100 81 was collected in fines.
New York City had more arrests than
any other city, having had 2.513, with
2,099 convictions, and 81, 936. 80 collected
in fines. Baltimore comes next with 2l4
arrests and an equal number Of con
victions. Pittsburg is third In rank with
St. Louis in fourth place. st. Louis,
however, would have been in second
place, If the sanitary police who enforce
the law in that city had been at work in
1900. In SO cities out of the 80 the Law
was either not enforced at all or very
poorly enforced. OF the remaining rs
cities, less than one.half of them con.
tributed more than three-fourths of the
arrests for splitting and of the fines col.
lected.
On account of the fact that National
tuberculosis Sunday will be observed
on April "a, the National Association il
calling the attention of clergymen in all
parts of the country to the advisability
of bringing before their congregations
the necessity for better enforcement of
the anti.spitting laws.
