ed TO address the council Mrs White,
who acted as spokeswoman for the
ladies', asked what action was going
to be taken regarding the enforce
ment of the tree spraying ordinance.
After lengthy discussion of the mat
Ter from various standpoints, Alder
man Meuser moved that the marshal
be instructed to notify people that
the provisions of the tree spraying
ordinance must be lived up to.
The marshal wished instructions from
the board how to determine who was
the owner Of vacant lots and what
to do with the Butler property, the
Third avenue eyesore. Upon motion
of Alderman Meuser the marshal was
authorized to enforce the ordinance
if the property owners did not
clean up the place and remove the
debris it is to be done by the city and
charged against the property.
The matter of whether the city or
the property owners should bear the
expense of the survey for cement
walks was considered. City Engineer
Burdick suggested instead Of one lot
surveys being made that the whole
block where it is necessary to lay
walk be surveyed and the cost as
sessed pro rata among the property
owners. The expense in this way he
explained would be only about one
fifth. 1t was agreed that all the de-
fectiye walks should be condemned.
The marshal was also instructed To
enforce the dog tax ordinance.
At the suggestion Of Alderman
Hanno, the city attorney was instruct
ed to ascertain how much time the city
is given to make a payment on the
reservoir site at the head of the Flo
rida.
Chairman Logan Of the street and
alley committee stated he had inter-
viewed Mr.. Ball Of the Ball Foundry
regarding the removal of the platform
in front Of his shop. He stated that
Mr.. Ball had been at big expense
erecting new building and repairing
the old structure and to make the
change at the present time would
work great hardship upon him. 1t
is his plan to remove the platform
as soon as he builds from the other
side. Mr.. Logan advised. as it did
work any great hardship upon any
one, that the council at present take
no further action in the matter.
In connection with the streets and
alleys Alderman Jarvis stated that

it must be said also that no other
president has been brought into CON
tact with physicians and their work
in so many ways-has had such a
practical knowledge of what medical
science has done and is doing-for no
other president has had the opportu-
mites for personal observation of the
results of scientific sanitation that
President Taft had in the Philippines,
in Cuba, in Porto Rico, in the Canal
zone and as secretary of war. His
address TO the thousand physicians at
the reception--and to the medical pro-
fession of the country, for he took
pains to emphasize the fact that he
had u message for the medical pro-
fession Of the United States--was a
gratifying appreciation of the econo-
mic and humanitarian benefits that
have resulted from modern medicine.
IL was also an evidence that, for a
lhyman, the speaker had an unusually
wide knowledge of medical affairs and
grasp of medical science and what IL
has accomplished.
As one listened, one could not help
believing that, if President Taft could
have his way about it, public health
matters would be given greater recog-
milton by the national government
than they are row given, even To the
extent of the creation Of department
of public health, with secretary in
the cabinet. OF course he did not say
so. He did not even hint at de-
partment of public health, or init
mate that he had ever heard of such
n proposition; but others thought of
it, and three speakers who followed
him mentioned it aloud, and with en-
phasis. Not that there was any in
dication of desire on the part of
any one to make use of the opportu.
nifty to advance the idea of depart
ment of public health or any other
measure; on the contrary, the spirit
that prompted the function and that
prevailed throughout the evening was
that of brotherly love and o. respect
for the president, who by word and
deed, in the many responsible posi-
tons he has occupied, has shown
knowledge Of medical science and an
appreciation of its Importance, from
the economic as well as from the hu-
manitarian aspect, as has no other
public man. The medical profession
feels more than ever assured that
President Taft is in sympathy with
the plans for increased federal activ-
ity for better public health.-Journal
of The American Medical Association.
