The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-04

information that Colonel William c. Gorgas, in charge of sanitation in the Panama canal zone, has accepted the position of third vice president of the Drainage congress, with the consent and upon the recommendation of the Secretary of War.
 The National Drainage congress was organized in Chicago in December, last, at which time Captain Kolb was elected a member of the executive committee of the congress. In speaking of Colonel Gorgas' election as an officer of the National Drainage congress, Captain Kolb said:
 Colonel Gorgas was elected to this position at the Chicago meeting be- cause of his excellent record in improV- ing sanitary conditions in the canal zone, and in the hope that he would accept and give us the benefit of his advice and counsel in sanitary matters. It was recognized that one of the great est reasons for the drainage and re- olamation of the 75,OOO,oOo acres of swamp and overflow lands is the bene- fit that will result from improving the public health.
 Colonel Gorgas was notified by cable of his election, and at the same time Edmund T. Perkins, acting president, notified the Secretary of War by letter and asked that he consent to the elec- ton and urge Colonel Gorgas' accep- tance. This letter passed through the offices of the adiutant general and the surgeon general, back to the adjutant general, then to Colonel Gorgas, back to the adiutant general, and finally to MT. Perkins, and contains on it's front and back the entire record of the transaction. The trip occupied little more than one month
 MT. Perkins also informs me. that he has received q personal letter from Colonel Gorgas expressing his appre- citation of the honor and saying that he would try to attend the meeting of the congress in New Orleans in April. "The acceptance of Colonel Gorgas means that the federal government recognizes the great benefit to the pub . | lie health that will result from the drainage of the swamps and overflow | lands"
