StrOyed in the digestive tracts of other
carrion-feeding ap;mals, as the dog,
cat, hog. chicken, or opoSSum.
1t is true that buZZarols may carry
the germs Of anthrax or other stock
diseases on their plumage, feet, or
bills, and thus distribute them; but all
the other animals just mentioned may
similarly carry disease germs on the
surfaces of their bodies, as may also
flies. domestic pigeons and other poul-
try, horses, mules, and cattle. not to
mention members of the human fam
lily. In fact at the same time that
steps are being taken greatly to re-
duce or eXterminate a wild bird-the
buZZard-which may possibly play a
minor part in the transmission of an
thraX, farmers are hurb0ring several
domestic animals that have far greater
possibilities as spreudcrS of the dis
ease. The fact that anthrax may he
carried by flies is more than sufficient
to explain the most severe cpidemics.

UNABLE TO MEET
BUILDING DEMANDS
Excessive Cost Of Material Deters
Owners From Improving
Property.

The demand for buildings of all
kinds in the District of Columbia dur
ing the past year. which has largely
been brought on because of the war.
was not fully met, according to Morris
Hacker. building inspector Of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Mr.. Hacker stated the excessive cost
Of building material. and. in fact. the
impossibility of securing structural
steel, etc. deferred many owners from
improving their property. While
wear ago II was believed the city had
adequate provision for the then de-
mands of hotels, apartment houses,
dwellings, office buildings. and, in fact,
all kinds of buildings, with the possl-
Bile exception of garages" he said, 1T
is felt now that the demand is greater
than the supply. and that as soon as
there IS Substantial decrease in the
cost of building a big increase in con-
etruction will take place.
He states that by reason of the de-
terrent situation there was falling off
in building construction during the
past fiscal year. The valuation of
buldin.s operations. though. MAS over
$4,000 600 greater than in the previous
year. In the aggregate fewer build
ings were erected. but permits were is
sued for a greater number of large and
more expensive buildings, which ac-
counts for the increased valuation.
