JOHN w. DODD.

The sanitary survey of the waters
and watershed of the Potomac river
to determine the amount of sewage
and trade wastes-dumped into the
river and carried by the stream with
out assimilation or publication has
been begun by the Public Health Sur
yey
The examination will cover the
river from Point of Rocks, near Wev-
erton, to its mouth. The full scope
of the survey has been determined by
Surgeon General Rupert Blue and
Professor William T. Sedwick, of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy, advisory officer. after a tour of
the lower river and a study of geo
logic data
Point of Rocks was selected as the
point for beginning the survey be-
cause the river reaches practically
its full volume at this point, the Mo
nocacy. the last of it's really big trib-
utaries in the watershed, flowing in

The first samples of water were OBJ
tanned at Point OF Rocks, and the in
vestigating party, headed by Surgeon
H. 5. CUMMINGS. of the Public Health
Service, will work it's way down

yestigation party reaches the head of
navigation a Georgetown, it will
board the vessel loaned by the Nir-

MILLIONS SPENT
AGAINST PLAGUE
New York Led all States Last Year
in Anti-Tuberculosis War in
United States.

Nearly $19,0OO.0O0 was spent in the
anti-tubepculosis campaign in the
United States during the year 1912
according to the fourth statistical
statement of expenditures in this
movement issued by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
yention of tuberculosis today These
annual statements are based. largely
on reports received from anti-tuber-
culosis agencies throughout the coun-
try. The figures are estimated
where actual reports are not avail
able.
The expenditures during the year
for sanatorium and hospital construc-
ton and treatment make the largest
single item in the total, amounting
to nearly $16,S00,0O0. This is in
crease of nearly $5,OOO,OOO over the
same group of expenditures for the
year 1911 The anti-tuberculoss as
sociations and committees spent ov-
er S765,00O, while dispensaries and
tuberculosis clinics spent over $780,
600 Over $4,000 was spent for the
maintenance and establishment OF
open-air schools and fresh air classes
which is more than double the
amount spent for this purpose in
1911. Official, state and municipal
expenditures outside of the mainten-
ance of institutions, which are in
cluded in the other totals, amounted
to s2S0.O In addition to these fig
ures. about 100000 was spent by
hospitals for insane and penal insti-
buttons in caring for their tubercul-
Gus inmates.
The total expenditures for the year
1912 are 90 per cent. Or nearly $4,500,-
600 greater than the total for the
year 1911 Another significant fea-
ture pointed out by the National AS
sociation, is the expenditure OF pub.
lie money. During the year 1872
65.6 per cent. of the S1S,900,000 spent
in tuberculosis work came from eth
err federal, state county or munich
pal funds. This figure is considered
by the anti-tuberculosis workers as
particularly significant because it in
dictates the shifting or responsibility
for the provision of tuberculosis hos
pitfalls and other institutions upon
the municipality, county and state.

ers this week received a QUESTIONABLE
from the West Virginia Child Labor
Committee, in order that the general
sentiment in favor of further pro
tecting the children of the state may
be presented in definite form
The Child Labor Committee wish
es to establish the eighthour day and
abolish night work for all under 16
years. They say that thirteen states
Intending Ohio already have the
eight hour day for all workers under
16, and eight others have such a day
for certain workers under sixteen,
Only three states. besides West Nir-
ginia, have no limit OF hours whatever
and OF those with a limit longer than
eight hours. several expect to estab-
lish the eight hour day for children
this winter Since this is the recog-
nlzed standard for federal employ
Is and. in many states. for conyicts,
the committee believes that the PEG
pie of West Virginia will surely stand
back OF It in this point OF the cam
paign.
Twenty eight states prohibit night
work for all under sixteen. They in
clude all the leading glass producing
states, except Pennsylvania and West
Virginia, and strong campaign is
on in Pennsylvania to amend the law,

of night work under Is shall include

MR.. ]. v. DODD TELLS
OF APPOINTMENT


Jan Glh, 1918.
Mr. Editor
Dear Sir
Some time in December publish
ed in your valuable paper that had
appointed Mr. Charles Fowler. OF
Inwood, as deputy assessor Of the
southern end OF the county, and Mr..
Fowler accepted tie appointment
and came to town on the 10th of De
cember to be sworn in, but as there
was some little Misunderstanding as
to the bond that day he did not
qualify But on Jan. LIST, ! received
the following letter
J. w. Dodd,
Dear Sir:
As have about sold my place and
expect to move to Martinsburg, and
on account of bad health, ! think the
best thing can do is 10 resign the
appointment you gave me,
l hope there will be no hard feel
ing on either side.
Yours truly,
CHARLES II. FOWLER.
On January I'd 1913, Mr.. Fowler
came to my office in company with
Mr. Harry Whiting, of lnwood, and
We talked the matter over. | tried
to pursuade Mr.. Fowler to reconsid-
err his letter and accept the appoint
ment for. at least. one year After
making explanation he thought it
best TO give up the appointment
felt that the people of the south
ern end of The county had expressed
a wish that they wanted Mr. Fowler
for that pos ton. and felt disap-
pointed that he had seen fit to change
his mind
Mr.. Fowler and | have always been
good friends. and are the best of
friends yet. and whilst | regret it
that he could not accept the appoint
ment, there was nothing left for me
to do but fill the vacancy with some
one else, and in my Judgment L. c.
Hoffman, of Bunker Hin, was the
most suitable man | feel sure that
both the people and the parties in
terest will be well looked after in
his hands,
