Prof. Chantemesse Condemns Care

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star
PARIS, July 5, 1912.
At the moment when France Is per.
turbed by her decreasing population a
communication by Prof. Chantemesse is
of considerable interest. The professor
Is a member OF the Academy of Medi-
cine and inspector general of hygiene at
the ministry of the interior.
In an official report which he assisted
to draw up he declares that were the
laws Of health properly enforced in
France some 100000 lives annually would
be saved.
the incoherence and insufficiency of
French legislation on this subject, and
the evil Is rendered graver by the alb
sence of adequate administration. The
French public. II Is declared, Is notori-
ously careless in following the instruc-
tions issued for the safeguarding of pub
tic health. although a serious epidemic
may result from such negligence.
In municipal areas the enforcement OF
sanitary regulations is In the hands of
the mayor. This Is q mistake, considers
the professor, for the mayor is depend
ent for election on the good will Of the
citizens. and, as has been proved bsfore
now, will not hesitate to place the inter-
ests Of himself or his party before the
health Of the people.
Streets, may be filthy. houses in an in
sanitary condition. but the mayor will
shut his eyes TO all these things II the
enforcement of the law would be likely
to cause annoyance or expense to some
influential citizen.
Prof. Chantemesse says that given
sound hygienic laws and their rigid en-
forcement, there is no reason why the
death rate In France should be higher
than. for instance. in the Scandinavian
countries.

At present all the efforts of the Tur-

REPORT SHOWS COST
OF ROCK CREEK PARK
Expense to Date, $780,
845.43, According to Sec
retary of Board of Control.

In a report issued today by the secre-
tary Of the board Of control of Rock
Creek Park the cost of the park to date
is shown to have been 81 ,397 .S45. .43. The
report is the first issued since 1907, and
deals with the operations of the park
since it's establishment, September q.
1890. The original cost of the park was
S1,174,511.45. Since then 1923. .333. 90 have
been expended for it's care and improve
ment.
After giving a sketch of the establish
ment Of the park and the work done
during each of the fiscal years since,
the report refers to plans for future i'm
prOvements.
When the existing roads in the park
were laid out" it says, they were made
comparatively narrow, but at that time
it was believed that they would be wide
enough to take care Of traffic. Since the
advent of the automobile. however, a
great density of traffic has occurred, and
and this has become SO great at certain
periods as to produce dangerous con-
ditions. It is impracticable to widen
some of the principal driveways, and the
most feasible plan Of taking care of this
increased traffic is to open new roads
and to macadamize some of the dirt
roads.

Mr.. Seweli has submitted an expense
account of $4S10 and Mr. Cook one of

wording of the appropriation act he has
no authority for paying the vouchers.
Controller Tracewelrs decision was the
result of o. j. Field, chief clerk of the
Department of Justice, having submitted
an account for travelling expenses in at
tending the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Association of Law Libraries, held at
Ottawa. Canada, June 26 to July .. Dis
bursting Officer Mackey of the Depart
ment of Justice put the matter up to the
controller.
In brief. the controllers decision, which
bears out the stand taken by Auditor
Tweedale. is that Mr.. Fields expenses
are forbidden to be paid out of the ap-
preparation in the act passed by Congress.
although the Treasury official suggests he
might recover In court the amount of his
actual and necessary expenses.
The controllers decision, it is expected,
will affect large number of govern
ment officials who attended meetings of
societies during the latter part of the
past fiscal year. but who did not submit
their expense accounts until the present
fiscal year.

Plans of Improvement.

"The present plan of improvement is
to macadamizo Beach drive. from Mill
tary road to the north end of the park,
and the road at the north end of the
park, which leads from the upper end
of Beach driveway to Georgia avenue.
1t is also proposed to macadamize the
Daniels road, which skirts the western
boundary of the park, north of Mill
tary road. BY these means an increase
in the circuits followed by automobiles
will be furnished and the danger of
accidents due to congestion on the ex-
listing roads decreased. The beauty Of
the park lies in it's closeness to nature,
and only such roads, bride paths and
footpaths should be. opened as are
necessary to take care of the traffic"

1t is said there are now in the park "a
miles of macadam road. 3.15 miles of un-
improved roads, about 21.5 miles Of bride
paths and about miles of foot paths.

HOUSING LAW FAVORED
IN GERMAN EMPIRE
Institution of Real System of
inspection of Dwellings
Also Discussed.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star
BERLIN, July 5, 1912
A strong agitation is going on in favor
of housing law for the whole empire
and for the Institution of real system of
inspection OF dwellings. At present Ger
many has very little housing legislation,
and this only in minor states like Hesse
and Hamburg. Machinery for the SUPER
vision of dwellings exists only in single
districts and towns, of which Dusseldorf
Essen and Charlottenburg are the most
prominent. Elsewhere 1t is mostly mat
ter of penal police regulation.
a project was prepared some time ago
for establishing in Prussia a homogeneous
system of inspection of dwellings, and
for the creation of housing offices in mu-
nicipal districts with more than 1890 0
inha bitants, but this has not become law
and the expectation of single law for
the empire has elsewhere retarded state
action.
Berlin Lacks System.
Berlin has no housing inspection at all,
and depends on the power of the police to
enforce observance of certain hygienic
minimums. 1his system is admittedly
the worst possible, as all police action
awakens suspicion. The city of Chariot
municipal system of housing control, a
description of which has just been pub
lfshed. The municipality decided that the
idea of compulsion must, as far as possi-
bic. be banished. 1t called its officials
'house curators'' instead of inspectors.
and tried to give the innovation the color
ing of social help. The housing cura-
tors" are technically trained officials who
work in collaboration with building ex-
perts. They are in touch with the mu-
nicipal housing exchange. and all three
unite in a municipal housing office.
For purposes of inspection the town is
divided into fourteen districts. the houses
of which are examined either according
to a general plan or on report from out
side Of abuses in particular house or
fiat. The first class of inspections has
something of the character of surprise
visits. This is in order to prevent a con-
cealment of abuses. As abuses are con-
sidered dampness, bad lighting of stair
cases. bad water supply and sanitation,
dirt, the inhabiting of cellars and un-
suitable premises, overcrowding of diff
ferent kinds. mixture Of the sexes and
the many evils due to the prevailing Ger
man "Schlafstelle" system, under which
