UNITED STATES PUBLIC,
HEALTH SERVICE.

Due to the present unsettled con-
dition Of the city government, and the
failure of the previous regime to ap-
propriate funds for the maintenance
of the work of the U. S. Public Health
Service, the service has been forced to
discontinue its activities in all
branches except those maintained by
government funds. The free dispen-
sary for anti-typhoid inoculations will
be maintained as usual in the office of
DR.. Sharp, opposite the postofflce in
Pascagoula, and sanitary inspections
of food shops and premises will be
continued aa before. All sanitary
privy work and malarial drainage oper-
ations, however, will of necessity be
discontinued until such time as the
service receives assurance from the
city that sufficient funds will be forth
coming to insure the successful pros
ecution of the work.
To date, over ten miles of drainage
bitches have been cut in the district
embraced by Pascagoula and Moss
Point at a total cost of about five and
one-half cents per foot. Six hundred
and thirty-four sanitary inspections OF
premises have been made in Pascagou
la alone, and the sanitary inspection
of premises at Moss Point will be com
pleted during the course of the week
Over eight thousand complete treat
ments for typhoid immunizaton were
given in the two towns, and the num-
ber is steadily increasing.
1t is hoped that the new city gov
ernment will see fit to proceed at once
to appropriate sufficient funds to en-
able the Service to resume work, and
thus forestall the publication of an un-
favorable report which otherwise must
be made to Washington. which would
undoubtedably prevent further con
tracts from being awarded to ship
building concerns located in the city

STEEL CONTRACT HELD UP.

The Dierks Blodgett Shipbuilding
Co. have received orders from Wash
ington to stop all work on their steel
ship plant, wherein they had contract
ed to build ten 5000 ton steamers for
the government.
The reason assigned for the order
was shortage of steel, poor local sani-
tary conditions, lack of houses,
proper places of amusement for work
men and poor streets. The acute steel
shortage was probably the compelling
reason, the housing, sanitary con-
ditions, etc, are capable of correction.
1t is hoped that later there will be
some relief in the steel situation and
the city, in cooperation with the COM
pany, expects to overcome the other
objections within short time. when
this is accomplished it is thought pos
sible the contract will be renewed.
