The worth of the new city health de-
partment, under the direction of DR..
j. ]. Durrett, and its application as
protector OF the public health IN r
manner similar to the use of the city

currence in a large manufacturer plant.
II also illustrates the public's lack OF
knowledge regarding the use to which
the city health department can be put.
This manufacturing concern has an
annually been troubled by the appear
ance of mosquitoes at certain time

peared and created CONSERVATION in the

that he could be helped

ROAD WORK GETS
SPECIAL ENGINES
Frisco Will Aid in Road Build
ing Program Under Way in
Crittenden County.

Three locomotives are to be assigned
TO the exclusive use Of the road COM
iuissioners OF Crittenden county. Ark,

movement of the los open-top cars re-
Gently purchased by the commissioners.
This vii! insure an adequate and unin-
terrupted movement of gravel and road
building materials to hasten work on
the construction of the county's 1855
miles OF road paving now under way,
according to arrangements Just perfect
ed'by the Morgan Engineering company,
OF Memphis, engineers for the road dis
trtcts. and officials Of the Frisco rail-
road.
Sixty eight of the cars have been de-
nvered and others are on the way.
Widespread attention was attracted by
the announcement that the highway Of
ficials had bought railway equipment
on such large scale, when construction
on the 100000 highway project OF
the county faced a complete tieup be-
enough cars. to keep the work going,
and considerable interest has been
manifested in the plans of the engi-
neers for utilizing the equipment.
1t Is planned to operate the county's
cars in solid, through trains between
sas, and Crittenden county, the entire
haul being on the Frisco lines. The
round trip time, including loading and
unloading will require three days. The
cars will be divided into three trains,
which will make possible the delivery
of solid train Of gravel every day.
The cars are built of steel, 81 feet
long, and have a capacity of $4,000
pounds. They dump automatically by
compressed air on either side of the
track, and the unloading of the entire
train is handled by one man from the
cab of the locomotive.
Elevated spur tracks for unloading,
of sufficient length to accommodate an
entire train at one time, have already
been put in at Clarkdale, Gilmore,
James Mill, Deweys Mill and Marked
Tree, Ark. Ten big cranes, that cost
the road districts $4,000 each, are To-
Gated at these stations. A fleet OF
40 motor trucks will assist.
1t is understood that the regular
freight rates will apply on the move
ment of gravel in the county's cars,
but that the railroads will pay the rental
charge for the use of the equipment
The los cars represent an investment
of approximately 100000 on the part
of the road districts, payable cash upon
delivery.
The Missouri Pacific and Rock Island
railroads are also heartily cooperating
in the work. These lines will be de-
pended upon largely for the movement
of materials other than gravel.
