owing to financial conditions there was
very little money to be spent the COM
ing year for the work. He also stated
why there has not been much done 10
remedy the situation.
DIR. Coggswell said the people of Ra-
valli county are suppressing the spotted
fever conditions. and that five cases
were reported last year. all of them
proving fatal. and that If the people liv-
ing in the affected districts would ar
range for a get-together meeting and
map out plans and confer with the
state board of health, that there was
no reason conditions could not be reme-
died DIR. Coggswell also outlined as the
most effective way to fight the tick is
to burn over the affected districts, and
to use the dipping vat more FREQUENT

sheep business do this. as the sheep are
