coming here will undoubtedly stimulate
that business, but the proper increase
of the shipping that goes from Boston
to the cities along the coast is field
which should by no means be neglected.
This trade has potentialities of great inn
portance and has not been as freely in
vestigated as should be done. The open
ing of the Panama canal will undoubt-
edly make this trade of even greater i'm
portance. The ohly thing that makes
one hesitate to commend this scheme
is that no reasons are given for it, |. e.,
no statement showing why this business
needs state help to make it succeed.

For Developing Port of Boston.

! The Boston port directors have lost
no time in presenting their ideas as to
what the state should do for the de-
velopment of commerce here They re-
gard the nine million dollars which was
authorized by the last legislature as
mere drop in the bucket in COMPARE
son with the sums that they will need
for the real stimulus of commerce here
to the point it should attain. Twenty
five million dollars are to be employed
bin buying control of the waterfront for
the state and twenty-five million dollars
ere to be employed in encouraging the
coastwise steamer business. These are
pretty high figures, and viii undoubted-
" be received with considerable in
eredulity and opposition by the legisla-
tors. and the directors can hardly ex-
pect to get these sums authorized at
once.
In suggesting the control of the wa
terfront by the state the board is fol-
Lowing the plan of many other cities
and suggested by the governor and gen
orally recommended by public officials
who have made this question a study.
The constitutions of several western
states have provided that all waters
and water rights be held by the state,
that being done by advice of Washing
tor authorities The principle is a sound
one aud Massachusetts ought to have
control of these rights, and the only
question is whether it is worth while
to put this immense sum into securing
these holdings. Undoubtedly it would be
to the great advantage of Boston to
have these terminals all in one hand. aud
that hand the publie's. II would be
an investment, not an appropriation.
SO far as coastwise shipping is con-

investment in that the sum Is TO he

BURLINGTON STATISTICS.
There Were $50 Births and 444 Deaths
During the Year 1911.

Burlington, Jan. 22--The annual re,
port of Burlington's vital statistics made
by DR.. G. i. Dalton, gives some interest
ing figures for 1911. 1t shows among
other things that the list OF contagious
diseases was small, and very few deaths
resulted therefrom. This is of especial
interest in Burlington, where there has
been in the last few years much agita-
ton over the purity Of lake water, which
led to the establishment of the filtra-
tior plant, and in view of the present
disclosures by the state laboratory as
to the presence of tuberculosis baeilli In
some brands OF butter.
The entire number Of contagious dis
eases noted by the health department in
burlington in 1911 was 1872, and from
these there were 10 deaths, from diph-
liberia, Is from tuberculosis and from
typhoid. 1t is interesting to note that
Of the I cases of typhoid reported,
of them were out Of town people, the
Only case from the city being that Of
boy, who undoubtedly acquired the
germ owing to the boys naturally care
less habits in drinking water from some
impure source OF taking the water into
his mouth while swimming in pond or
river
The list of vital statistics shows the
number Of births In the year were 500
and the number of deaths 444. an excess
Of ll2 births over deaths. These were
Al more births and 80 more deaths than
in 1910.
The number Of marriages was $50
and the smallest number, 5. being in
March and the largest number, a. be-
ing in June. It il noticed that lSl brides
and the same number of grooms were
born - the United States; 32 grooms
and 3s brides were born in Canada 2
groorns and brides were born in Ire
land; Is grooms and brides were born
in other countries. The ratio Of mar
rages to population l20,467) was ! to
