H FOLDS ALLEY is
PUBLIC PROP ERTY
City Attorney Renders Opinion
Which May Result in Court
Proceedings. IF

In an opinion rendered by City At
turney Pollard to the City Engineer.
there is established the true lines of
an alley between Grace and Broad
Streets. west of Seventh Street. Just
In rear OF the Young Mems Christian
aSsociation building. AT present the
alley-a blind one-is twenty, feet
vide The Keppler estate. owner OF
property at Seventh and Broad Streets,
al the last meeting of the Street Com
inittee filed a petition setting forth
mat eight feet of the alley belonged
10 It's lot. and was private property on
which 1t had merely permitted public
use Tor the convenience of it's own ten
ants Proposing 10 build on Seventh
Street beside the alley. the Kepplcr
estate asked that it be given the true
lines and grades. so that 1T might built
over Its eight-feet of the alley, leaving
1t but twelve feet wide. The Street
Committee instructed the City Engineer
to ascertain the true lines of the al
ley and issue a certificate according.
ly l'0
The opinion of the. City Attorney,
rendered to Mr.. Boiling. Is adverse to
the keppier contention. Mr.. Pollard
holds that the whole of the twenty foot
alley Is a public thoroughfare. and may
not be enclosed. IT Is probable that
the matter will be tested In the courts
as the Keppler estate maintains It's
title to the disputed eight feet of
frontage on North Seventh Street, now
having a considera Bile cash value, and
II was reported at the City Hall yes
terday that an application would be
made for mandamus to compel the
CITY Engineer to give certificate Of
line. including the debatable strip.
Such action would throw the whole
question Of title to the strip into
court and secure a final determination
of the true ownership.

The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1911-02-08

Of North Dakota ten people die of
tuberculosis and this condition is
due in no small measure to the al
most criminal neglect of the law
making bodies whose principal duty
is to look after the welfore Of the
people. The legislature Is too busy
appropriating money looking after
the health Of glandered horses, tuber-
cular cattle, and sheep and has done
little for the afflicted men and wom-
en- and children
The speaker concluded his remarks
with an appeal for more legislation
looking for the betterment of the
public health.
DR.. Grassick of Grand Forks, su-
perintendent Of the state board Of
health, was then introduced and told
of. some Of the things that the board
had been doing in anti-tuberculosis
work. He said:
'"The question of tuberculosis is
one Of the live questions of the day.
1t has been stated that tuberculosis
is one Of the most deadly diseases.
That is so. But it is alo one of the
most durable.
Ninety per cent of the people who
die have been found to have been af-
hicted with tuberculosis in some form
at some time Only ten per cent of
the deaths have been attributed di-
rectly to this disease, however. and
therefor there have ben eighty per
cent Of these cases cured. 1t is with
the other ten per cent that we have
to deal.
cit has been learned that eighty
five per cent of this ten per cent can
live. Since 1882 when DR.. Koch dis
covered the bacillus tuberculosis a
method of treatment has been dis
covered which has revolutionized the
number of cures
The speaker then told of the work
that has been done in European coun-
tries and also in this country. in re-
ducing the death rate from this dis
ease. In the United States since 1882
the death rate from tuberculosis has
been reduced over 40 per cent. There
is no reason why in twenty years
the death rate in the United States
cannot be reduced over fifty per cent.
This may be accomplished in two
ways:
1. The education of the masses of
the people as to the cause, preventa-
bility and durability of the disease.
2. The establishment of sanitoria.
These sanitoria have a two-fold OBJ
ject.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1911-02-08

(a) They take the unfortunate pa
tients and cure them.
(b) The dissemination Of knowl.
edge by those who have been cured.
These two methods working to-
gether will in time eradicate the dis
ease.
DR.. Grassick then briefly told Of the
organization of the North Dakota
Anti-Tuberculosis association at Bis
marck two years ago, Of its raising
funds by the sale of Red Cross
stamps and calls. He also told Of
what the association had accomplish
ed with the small amount Of funds at
its disposal 1t has distributed
throughout the state over $4,000
pieces of literature bearing upon anti
tuberculosis work. 1t sent letters to
seven hundred ministers containing
outlines of an anti-tuberculosis ser
mon, and $50 of the ministers re-
sponded to their request, thereby
reaching over $4,000 people. At those
meetings other literature was distrib-
uted thereby reaching an additional
25. 900 people. And the association
has in view other work Of a similar
nature.
The governor said that he wanted
to give a word Of encouragement to
this great movement which was
spreading throughout the state and
the nation. He called attention to the
fact that conservation was the key
note of the present day.
But of what use." said the COVER
nor, "is the gold in the mountains,
the iron in the hills, or the timber
in the forests unless we have healthy
people to populate them? The great
est conservation is the conservation
of the people. Whatever may have
been said against them. the doctors
have certainly done a great unselflsh
work in their dealings with this ques-
ton Of tuberculosis. Now they have
discovered the cause Of the disease,
the method Of treatment, and a cure"
The governor then said that there
was no question but what the d.
sease was not only surable but pre-
ventable, and that il 1t was prevent
able, something should be done not
only to care for those who are afflict-
ed but also to protect those who are
we'll. The speaker concluded his adj
dress with discussion of the bill
which is before the house to establish
a state anti-tuberculosis sanitarium
in the Turtle mountains and made q
strong plea for the passage of the
measure.
