County Health Organization

About hfty-hve members Of the
municipal Boards of Health, consist
ing mostly of Township Committee
men, met at the Country Club House,
on Elsinboro Shore last Saturday, to
talk over health conditions and crgan-
ize for mutual cooperation. After a
substantial luncheon given by the wei
fare women, in Salem, William H.
Chew called the meeting to order and
related some of the experiences he had
met with while president of the State
Board of Health for twelve years.
Some years ago n in Elmer was
taken with typhoid fever, also some Of
the neighbors. The State Health au-
thority called attention to the well
water. 1t was clear as crystal and
considered so excellent that the neigh
bors came after it for drinking pur-
poses. Those who did had typhoid
like the resident.
Water may be clear and pure but
disease germs may be in it. Many
may drink it and not be infected while
others will drink the death germs.
Mr.. Chew related a case where milk
had been left while the family was
away. On their return the milk was
apparently sweet and drinkable. The
State Health chemists found that it had
been treated with formaldehyde, a
chemical used to embalm bodies.
Not only the bad but the good germs
had been killed.
He told of cattle having died with
anthrax and the Importance of prop
erly disposing of diseased dead ami
mails. If left on the ground, the an
thrax germs sink into the soil, are
brought up by the grass and the cattle
which eat the grass 7 likely to be-
come infected. Hence we should be-
come interested in the good health of
the people and animals in u neigh
boring township because the disease
germs are carried unaware from one
locality to another.
D. c. Bowen, of the State Board Of
Health, said typhoid had been reduced
in the State, yet there were carriers Of
typhoid which must be guarded
against. The Boards of Health in the
municipalities of Gloucester County
had formed a County organization
and he hoped the same would be done
in Salem County.
DR.. l. w. Knight, the State Inspec-
tor. who resides at Woodbury., and has
charge of Camden, Gloucester and Sa-
lem Counties showed a comparative
death rate for 40 years in the State and
in Salem County. From 1879 to 1914
the rate was lower in Salem County
than in the State. Since then It has
been higher.
The increased care of water supply
and sewage has reduced the death rate
in cities below many country districts.
1t is important for the health of the
family to see that no concentrating
substance nor small animals get into
the drinking water.
Temporary officers were elected as
follows: e
Chairman, William H. Chew, of
Salem. j..
Secretary, Clarence S. Bailey, of
Carneys Point.
Treasurer, S. R. Christy, of Woods
town.

States Government, but was oblig-
ed tC act thru the State Engineer.
The State Engineer agreed with the
Town to act as its agent in this re-
spect. The project statement was
submitted by him and was approved.
Plans and specifications for the con
struction OF a BituIithic pavement
were then submitted TO the Secre-
ta.y of Agriculture and disapproved
en- the ground that no competition
f tynes was provided for. The State
Engineer then suggested the plan of
himself advertising for bids, which
plan was consented to by the Town
Of Winslow and bids were caIled for,
with the results that several bids on
competing types were received
Among the bids SO received were.
one by Warren Brothers Company
tor Bitu1ithic, one for Modified To-
peka type, and two for concrete One
of the bids for concrete-that of
Dan LaRue-was somewhat lower
than the other bids This bid, how
ever, contained reservation that
would leave it open to the contract
or to escape entering into the con-
tract or to require a higher price
To comply with the Improvement
Act of 1912, the Town of Winslow
alb called for bids on Bitulithic,
that being the only type of paving
authorized by it's existing proceed
ings, and after once rejecting all
bids and again advertising for bids.
finally awarded the contract to War

ton that Federal Aid be obtained.
The State Engineer, after The bid of

contract to Warren Brothers Com

that it preferred Bitulithic at the

held meeting at WinsIow for the
purpose of convincing the Council
and property owners of Winslow
that it would be to their interest to
abandon the present proceedings
and adopt new proceedings for con-

SANTA FE PRESIDENT APPEALS
TO EMPLOYEES

CHICAGO. Ills, Oct. 81, 1911
Fellow employees of the Santa Fe:
The Santa Fe is once more facing
a crisis, the leaders of the various
Brotherhoods. have told us through
the newspapers that a strike is to
begin on our road November first
next.
We are as yet unadvised as to the
classes of employees that will be in
volved except that the word is de-
finite as to the train and engine
brotherhoods In order that you
may know the attitude of your COM
pany in the. important matter the
following announcement is made.
The Santa Fe has for many years
had agreements with the four train
and enginemens brotherhoods. 1t
has in times past had agreements
with other employees and it has at
all times endeavored to carry out to
the letter every provision of those
agreements. Minor differences of
opinion have arisen from time to
time, but we have always been glad
to meet and talk them over and
have succeeded in living together in
peace and harmony. While the road
was in the possession of the gov
ernment agreements were made by
the Administration with practically
all of the organizations of railroad
employees and these agreements be-
ing nationwide in extent were ap
piled to the Santa Fe when the rail
roads came back the Labor Board
which had been formed to prevent
differences from threatening the
transportation of the country de-
creed that the agreements as made
by the Government Administration
should continue, until changed by
