m, May %. While In Washington
the committee wi also present to
the United States congress the reso-
lutions adopted at St. Louis, Mo-.
April ~, by the Third National
Drainage congress urging ma
tional policy of food protection and
swamp land reclamation for the
public health and general welfare.
The resolutions urged the creation
of some national body to plan and
put into effect such national poll
icy, and dec AIRED it to be the belief
of the rrasnase congress that De-
partnssst Of laaeaie Works is the
proper body for this purpose
Before. during. and after the
Washington meeting the General
Educational committee will en-
deavor to convince members of con-
gress that their constituents favor
the national policy to which the
Drainage congress is committed.
The National Drainage congress,
organized to promote the public
health and the public welfare, en-
dorses no single project, however
large or meritorious, but stands for
national policy. 1t bases its rec
quest for Government supervision
of food protection and swamp land
reclamation work upon the Consti-
tuition OF the United States which
states: Article l. Section 8: The
congress shall have power to levy
and collect taxes, duties, imposts
and excises, to pay the debts and
provide for the common defense and
general welfare of the United
States"
The Drainage congress declares
that common defense" means de-
fense against internal enemies OF
nature, which cause disease, death
and loss of property, as much as II
means defense against enemies OF
human kind which cause no other
distress than disease, death, and loss
of property.

AS the result of orders issued to
the police force. large number of
reports have been filed relative to
violations of the ordinances by clti-
zens in respect to notices given them
several days ago.
The commissioners In charge OF
keeping the city cieah have endeay-
|ored to attain an end much desired
by the application of tact and
diplomacy, believing that the quiet
issuance of the orders requesting a
compliance with sections requiring
all persons to keep vehicles and
trash eff the streets and alleys of the
city would result in everybody TAX
ing an inventory of their premises
and cheerfully complying with the
request.
Many have done so, but there are
many, in fact majority, have
either been too busy or through
Ignorance of conditions prevailing,
have utterly failed to pay any atten-
tion to the notices There are some,
who by their disregard, evidently
believe that here will be exemption
made in their cases, but in this re-
spect they will be mistaken.

have a disagreeable task before them
In case there is no immediate atten-
tion paid to the request made by the
police force. They have endeavored
by diplomatic means to accomplish
the end had earnestly hoped that
the public would heartily cooperate
with them in their desire to better
physical conditions In Cairo with
out recourse to drastic methods
They did not want to antagonize any
person or persons, believing that
since city administrations had been
very lenient in these respects that
everybody thought that the notices
were mere formalities to which nc
attention should be paid and In the
end nothing would come of the mat
ter and things would be permitted to
| go along as they had In times past
The new administration has deter,
mined to enforce these very ordi.
