started today. He stated that the de-

or suggestions from the survey and
would cooperate in every way possible
to eliminate anything which stood in
the way of better health conditions for
the people of Oklahoma City.
One matter which the sanitary in
spcCtor wants get the opinion OF the
survey is the best way of taking care
of the numerous ponds that have re-
suited from heavy rains in the past few
week. Mr. Vance states that there are
at least 100 of these ponds on private
property in low spots They have be-
come of sucl depths that it will be sew
cral weeks before they dry up, even il
no more rains occur, he said.
If some steps are not taken to climi-
nate them or surface them with oil,
they will become breeding places for
numerous insects
Mr. Vance does not favor surfacing
them with oil as this is only a temper
AIRY relief, he says The best wav
would be to provide for the draining Of
