Federal Sanitary Engineer
Optimistic Over Improved
Conditions in All Valley
Towns. Must Keep up Fight

That the potential possibilities for a
yellow fever epidemic in the Valley have
been lowered % per cent since May l.,
is the opinion given by 4. +. Allen. as
Sociate sanitary engineer of the United
States public health service. who has
control OF all federal mosquito control
work in the border section. Engineer
Allen was in Brownsville yesterday in
connection with this work.
He expressed himself as pleased with
the progress made IN Brownsville. but
stated that there were more infestation
in Brownsville than in the whole Of Hi
dalso county. Brownsville and Corpus
Christi are the two most serious points
NJ present. he states.
la the first inspection made in
Brownsville. 1900 HOUSES were visited,
and 1000 cisterns and barrels found. and
of these. 900 were infested with the
siegomya mosquito. In the latest in
spection. 2SOO premises were visited, but
only 400 cisterns aud barrels were
found and out of this number. only I6
were found infested. This shows a great
decrease in the number Of containers
found in comparison with the premises
examined and also a great decrease in
the infeStation. 1T l. very encourag
ing states MIR. Allen, Ito note that as
soon a. people realize the danger Of
the open barrel or cistcrn. that they be-
gin TO do away with these contsiners.
Although the progress made in
Brownsville j. remarkable. Mr.. Allen
says that conditions are still much worse
than in other towns he has visited. In

tory on up 10 Sam Fordyce. only 23 in

inspection. and in Hidalgo county alone.

control Of the disease possible.
One thing about the work. that il
often made grounds for criticism. ac-
cording TO Mr.. Allen. is the fact that the
work Of the mosquito eradication may
not cause any perceptible decrease in
the numbers Of the pest. The work Is
concerned principally with the eradica
ton of the Stcgmya msquit- Drain
age and other local efforts 70 reduce
the pest are in another field Of work en-
tirey. People often condemn the work
on the grounds that there are more mos

are of n variety which il not dangerous,
and which the mosquito eradication work
ers cannot entirely control"
