HEALTH BOARD AT
ISSUE WITH SURVEY
Towns Actual Death Rate is
Far Below Others Averages.

Feeling that the town Lad not been
fairly treated by the social survey
managers who made their report in
mass meeting of the churches Sun
day night, in announcing that the
death rate here was higher than
that of New York city with out ex-
planning the reasons for this, the
board of health at its regular meet
ing Monday afternoon asked the sec
retary, Dr. Francis H. Glazebrook, to
be presen- at the dinner to those
interested in the Y. M. c. A. Monday
night and make explanations in de-
fense of the town and also of the
board.
DR.. Glazebrook called up the two
hospitals and secured the number of
deaths in each for the year and then
announced that with the nonresident
who had died there and the babies
who are sent out here from the city
to board that also die here a hundred
of the towns deaths could be stricken
off which would bring the death rate
down to about Is per cent. per thou
sand as against 81 per cent other
wise. Another cause pointed out was
that number suffering from pull
monary troubles who come here to
seek a cure also help to increase the
death rate of the town.
The full quota of members of the
board were present and passed Oh the
various reports brought up in the
regular routine. An ordinance which
had been up for two meetings rslat-
ing to the delivery of milk III sealed
bottles and forbidding any dealer to
sell from the can to the retailer was
put on third reading and passed. A
report of measles in the Flagler
street section was brought up and
Dr.. Samuel G. Haven said he had

three had died. This he said left the
death rate still so per cent. greater
than that of New York, which also
was the dumping ground for the dy-
ing.
Mr.. Stelzle then took up the
churches, subject upon which he
did not touch on Sunday night. The
The statistics, he said, showed that
the men and boys are not being
reached in the white churches and
much less SO in the colored churches,
while comparison with other Ameri-
can cities showed less, percentage
of boys and girls attending the local
churches. After reading some of the
causes for this he explained some rec
concentrations he would make. Being
friendly with the foreign part of the
town would help; building a library
which would also be meeting place
for the working class would be a
] fine chance to do social service;
making the Y. M. G.. A. a place for
everybody, and providing school for
those 12 per cent. who now only go
part time were some of the things

mended visiting nurse, the forming
of social service group in each of
the churches, and the starting of a
| publicity campaign to build Up the
work
G. B. st. John, who conducted the
! investigation was the first speaker
He showed a number of charts from
the exhibit which demonstrated the
growth in the population, the causes
for arrests, etc.
:, DR.. G.azebrook defended the board
of health saying the hospitals and
the number of out-oftown people who
came here for health and died boosted
the death rate, and Superintendent
| Wiley explained that the estimate of
three out of ten graduating from the
eighth grade was based on his fig
ures but there were more pupils in
the first grade now than there were
in the eighth grade when it was the
first grade.
Frank e. Stults commended Mr.
Stelzle and said he was sure the prob
lens would be worked out. The Y
M. c. A. he said was going to be
ready to help the boys on Flaglel
street more than it has, although
twenty boys are now working theil
way through the association.
i Rev. r. B. Urmy, pastor of the
Methodist church also thanked the
service bureau and said he was GLAD
the work had started in the church
He said there were 5 per cent. OF
the Y. M. SC. A members Jews and {
per cent. Italians now, showing they
were welcomed. He spoke of higf
school with "a gymnasium and a large
auditorium as means of helping ou
the working class.
Rev. w. R. Bennett, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, said there
was always a dividing line in any
new movement, the sides being inter
est and Indifference, but the meat O
investigation was not to disgrac,
Morristown, but to help it. He ex
. pressed a desire that it might Leaf
to better Morristown.

NEW COLOR FOR TROLLEY CAR
Dark Olive Vehicle Presents a Pleas
ing Appearance.

People who are familiar with the
Public Service trolley cars used be-
tween Newark and Trenton might
think one of them had strayed from
its regular course if they should espy
car No. 378 of the Morris County
Traction company. The company has
been painting it's cars a dark red but
when No. 37S was sent to the shops
for overhauling it was decided to try
out another color of paint. When tn
car appeared again it bore a dark
olive color much like the Public Ser
vice through cars and it has received
much favorable mention for its spick
and span condition. While in the
shop it was equipped with storage
batteries so that the red lights on
the rear of the car remain lighted
though the trolley pole be off the
wire or the current is shut off.

will be more or less trouble with de
iveries. By placing your order now
1t will also enable you to secure your
car license and drivers permit before
the spring rush at the motor vehicle
registration office. If you wish tc
take advantage of the beautiful
motoring days that the spring sea
son offers, place your order now and
insure against disappointment when
you want your car. A. F. Herdman
manager of the Motor Sales Agency
of Morristown, reports that they
have orders for spring delivery that
were placed as early as the first OF
