MAYOR PREPARING
annual MESSAGE
Finds Curious Comparisons m
White and Colored Death
Rates.
LATTER EXTREMELY HIGH
Many Important Recommends
tons Will Be Sent to Council
at It's June Meeting.
LATTER EXTREMELY HIGH

Mayor Ainsllo began active work yos
terday on his annual message to the
City Council to. be submitted to the
lower branch at the first meeting IN
June. The message will embody a
number of recommendations on the
part of the Mayor and brief review
OF the work of the various departments
OF the city. The Mayors message US
ually goes to the Council in the early
spring but has been delayed in order
10 complete certain tabulations and get
exact information covering the opera
tons OF certain of the city depart
ments. All of the annual reports are
now In the hands of the Mayor and will
be transmitted to the Council with his
message when all of the papers will
be ordered printed. II is understood
that several Of the department chiefs
nave mace recommendations and sug
gestions of more than usual value.
The Mayor was busily engaged YES
terday In a study of the annual report
or Chief Health officer Levy which Is
accompanied by some valuable stats
tics on health conditions covering a
number or years. especially as regards
the causes and rate Of death from va
rious diseases as between the white and
colored portions OF the population.
Colorcd Death Rate High.
1t is worthy Of note in connection
with these figures that the colored
death rate per 1000 of population is
almost double that Of the white popu-
lation. Colored people do not seem
to suner any more than white people
In proportion TO population from
feyers, measles,, and various other
forms OF preyentaole diseases, but the
colored death rate from consumption
is almost double that OF the white rate,
while the colored death rate from pneu-
monia and diseases OF the respiratory
system is almost three times that of
the white race. CAUTIOUSLY enough the
colored death rate from apoplexy and
other diseases of the non preventable
type Is much higher than that OF white
people, the figures here seeming to
bear out the contention of some scien-
lists that the colored population in this
climate is dying out
In connection with the recommends
tons he expects to make. the Mayor
has already been in consultation with
the heads OF most of the city depart
ments. He will review at some length
the subjects of taxation, income and
bonded debt. and expects to give spec
ial attention to the extensive report
OF the Engineers Department covering
the development and building of
streets. bridges, parks. sewers, and
other forms OF construction work.
