Fourteen Cases Of Typhoid
Fever,

= But fourteen cases of infectious dis.
eases were reported to City Health Off
Ger Ira j. McCurdy, during the month
of September. This is considered to be
a very small number of cases reported,
but as all are designated as typhoid fever
cases, it is thought that this number is
somewhat above the normal for that spe.
cifc kind of disease, although it geuer-
ally predominates this part of g sea-
son. During last October there were
only three cases of typhoid fever re-
ported, and whether or not there will be
that many this year remains to be seen.
The report of the City Health Officer
is as follows:
Births reported, 20; white, 81;
malos, IL; females, 16; colored, 2;
males, l; females, l. Deaths occurred,
IA; white, II; males, 6; females, 81
colored, 3; males, 2; females, 1.
Causes of death: Arterio selerosis,
acute congestion of lungs, acute enter
tits, bronchial pneumonia, shock from
burn, organic heart disease, 2; paral
ysis, carcinoma of the stomach, acute
indigestion, chronic meningitis, cardiac
asthenia, acute nephritis and marasmus

SAVING MONEY FOR MONTE
VUE.
Using Comparative Figures of First
Quarters to Compute Average Over
$4,000 VIII Be Saved in Year at
Present Rate.

The administration of the affairs OF
Montevue Hospital of Frederick coun-
ty by the County Commissioners has
been economical in the fullest sense
of the word. For the first quarter,
including July, August and September,
there has been saving of approx
mately $17 per capita at the institu-
tion. This expense per capita in
cludes all money spent at the institu-
tion, support of inmates, salaries and
general work attached to the building,
food supplies and incidentals.
The aggregate cost of running the
institution according to figures fur
nished for this quarter was $5,422.31.
Taking this expense as an average the
maintenance cost of the institution for
one year would be less than $4,000.
The maintenance cost for the institu-
ton for the entire year of 1918 was
$42,99S.72.
This, year, however, for the first
quarter, the number of inmates has
been cut at the institution by more
than fifty. The average TO rthe first
quarter of this year is $780,
The approximate cost per capita for
maintenance 1t the institution for
1913 was $23495. For one-quarter
$5S.73, assuming that the expense of
each quarter was equal.
In 1913 there was an expense ac-
count for the Frederick Jail of $2,113.-
25. In three months the Frederick
Jail this quarter drew 1926 loayes OF
bread, an avearge of about 46 loaves
per day.
Taking all things into consideration
the County Commissioners have cut
expenses at the institution in re-
markable manner. Per capita, in spite
of the fact that the number of pa.
tients and inmates has been reduced
| the cost is much lower. 1t has beer
| understood that the larger the mum
ber of inmates, the less the cost pei
capita.

GOOd-sized Balance in State Treas
ury From Last Year.
A total of $34,426.02 is still in the
State Treasury from the 1913 auto
mobile license receipts for maintain
ing State roads throughout the coun-
ties. Chairman O. E. Weller, of the
State Roads Commission, yesterday
received a detailed statement from
Comptroller Harrington, showing the
amounts still to the credit of each
county. Allegany heads the list with
a total of $4,094.67, while the smallest
ebalance, that of $S1.2S, is credited to
Frederick county. The 1914 license
receipts will probably total more than
$25O,00O, therefore good amount is
now in prospect for the upkeep of the
roads for many months to come The

USE WATER TAXES.
Mayor Not Entirely in. Favor of
Bond Issue Because Indebtedness is
Already Very High-KnOws Some
People are Suffering.

Frederick should devote all re-
ceipts from water to the extension
and improvement of its water sys-
tem," said Mayor Lewis H. Fraley yes
terday afternoon. "Then it wouldn't
be necessary to issue bonds for the
extension of the water system.
81 favor more water for Frederick.
At this time l don't think that the
city's bonded indebtedness should be
increased by the expenditure of thou
sands of dollars for the construction
of storage reservoir for Frederick.
81 recommend the Strengthening out
of the pipe system of the city, and the
annexing of Hunting Creek as an ad-
ditional source of water supply said
the Mayor.
"With the addition of Hunting
Creek to the city's source of water
supply, I believe that there wouldn't
be the slightest trouble in supplying
every resident in the city with an am
pie and adequate supply of water"
High Sections Suffer.
eff the residents of the higher sec
tions of the city were given the right
of way on the high pressure line that
ran through the city, there wouldn't
be an trouble about securing a suffi-
cient supply of water. The trouble
is that this line has been tapped so
often that it is impossible to get
water on those sections where there
is a drouth.
81 realize that it is unfair for
these people to be without water. 1t
is disagreeable and affects the valu-
alton of their properties. For this
reason something must be done to put
water on these sections"
The Mayor pointed out that with
the correction of the trouble with the
system of pipe lines and the addition
of Hunting Creek that there would
be no difficulty at all in sending water
to the highest sections of Frederick.
He said that the whole question hing
ed on an increased supply of water
for the city. He declared that by
taking in Hunting Creek the same re-
suit would be accomplished as if the
storage reservoir had been erected.
The reservoir would give an increas-
ed supply of water and Hunting Creek
would dO tha camn
"At this time don't think that the
voters of Frederick would cast their
ballots to increase the bonded indebt-
edness of the city," declared the May
or. At the same time am in favor
of putting it up to the people and let
them decide what is to be done.
"MOst Valuable; Least Cared For.
"The water system is the most val
liable asset that Frederick has, yet of
all Fredericks possessions the least
care is given to it. I believe that the
time will come that Frederick will be
compelled to devote the receipts from
water rents to the extension and i'm
provement of the water system, for
at least short time"
This is the position of the Board of
Aldermen on the question of issuing
bonds TO rthe storage reservoir:
Alderman Cutler for bond issue, AL
derman Shoemaker for bond issue, AL
derman Abbott for bond issue and cor
rection of pipe lines, Alderman Grove
for small dams from water receipts,
Alderman Phebus against bond issue.
