cal supplies in abundance. and under the
excellent administration Of the Ohio Ma
tional Guard and other organizations
there is little or no danger OF epidemics
of typhoid or dipththeria. There is an
ample supply Of typhoid serum in the city,
and with the efficient work of the various
sanitary agencies the chief problem OF
the future resolves itself into question
of feeding. clothing and housing.
North and West Dayton were the
parts Of the town in worst condition from
the floods. The poorest residents lived
there But there. as elsewhere everything
possible was done. The school teachers Of
the city were an important factor In re-
lief work, for they were all trained in
first aid. Another agency TO whom the
people were greatly indebted was J. H.

pared to place n number of double-dcck
cars on the surface lines. IL the city was
willing. He acknowledged It was true

"a considerable amount OF the stock Of the
