PLANS FOR PUBLIC PARK.
Cumberland to Ask for Legislation
Giving Right of Domain.

Specia, Dispatch to the Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md, December T.
Thomas Footer, David p. Miller and
Hugh a. McMullen, the committee named
by the council last June to look into the
matter of selecting a site for a park for
Cumberland, reported last night, suggest
ing that a legislative act be obtained
giving the city the right of eminent do
main that it might acquire a desirable
tract within two miles of the city limits
for park purposes. In this way. the
committee states, the land owner would
receive full value and at the same time
the city acquire suitable park.
In order to meet this added expense.
the committee recommends that a tax Of
80 cents per horsepower per annum be
levied on all automobiles in use in the
city, of which at present there are 400,
which would yield $1,000 at an average
tax of SIS. The committee states that
there are also several features of adver-
Using that could be reasonably taxed for
the same purpose.
The committee does not disclose the
features it has in mind but
says it will go over the subject with the
council at any time. The committee says
it is very favorably impressed with a
park site, but deems it inadvisable to
make the location known just at present.

that is exacted by typhoid fever and
the tremendous economic loss that is
involved. Health experts estimate this
loss at not less than 800, 900, 900 ayear,
the estimate being based on the value OF
lives to the community, the cost OF med
zeal attendance, impaired efficiency OF
patients and loss of earnings. Under
such conditions it is obviously impera-
tive that something should be done to
check the disease.
1t has been estimated that the tinan-
cial loss to the State OF Kentucky as a
consequence of typhoid fever is about
S., 900, 900 year. Nevertheless typhoid
fever is one OF the numerous diseases
classed as preventable. The matter OF
purifying water supply is of increasing
importance and it is we'll that the at
tention of the Federal Government has
been directed thereto. In the meantime
there is much that can be done by State
governments and it should not be neg
lected. Courier Journal.
