A PUBLIC OPINION MEETING.
Against Boxing Observation-Disclosures
of Contract system for Care of Poor.


There was an informal meeting at
Hancock han last evening, called by
the mayor. primarily for the purpose
of getting IA public expression on the
question of boxing exhibitions. About
$50 men and women attended. The
fun board Of aldermen was present
Several people spoke against box
ing exhibitions Mrs. Clarence Emery,
president OF the local w. c. T. u,
voiced the protest of thirtyfive mem
bers of that organization. The senti-
ment of the meeting was oYerwh elm
ingIy against the boxing exhibitions
As matter of fact the aldermen
had already voted against the first APP
plieation for the use of the hall for
boxing exhibitions, and in view of the
sentiment shown at the meeting last
evening. it is not likely that the ques-
ton will be revived this year
G. b. Cornish. secretary of the State
board of charities and correction, was
also present at the meeting ,Py invita-
ton Of the mayor, and spoke against
the contract system for care of the
poor. He called attention to some Of
the defects of the contract system
the necessity for the superintendent to
keep within his contract price; the fact
that the difference between the con-
tract price and adequate support must
come out of the poor, and the fact that
demands upon the public in sub
scriptions for partial relief for desti-
tute or distressed families is greater
under the contract system.
There was not one word of criticism
Of superintendent CarHsles manage
ment of the poor farm or his pro-
vision for the poor under his charge.
Mr. Carlisle brought up the point,
plainly well taken to those familiar
with the city farm, that it was not
adequate for superintendent on sal
airy, giving his whole time to it, to
make it self-supporting, but Mr..
Cornish called attention to the fact
that it would not be any mofe neces-
sary for a man,to give his whole time
to the city farm under the salary sys-
tenn than under the contract system.
Mayor Hodgl1ins called attention to
the need of extensive repairs a the
city. farm The buildings had been
neglected year after year each city
government passing it along to the
next to make the necessary eN-
penditures. This, he declared, was
false economy, and unldndness to the
poor.
Before the meeting disbanded, Mayor
Hodellins brought up the need of a
suitable parking place for cars in the
business section, and suggested the

Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1924-04-16

Since Maine entered the registra-
ton area of our country, there has
been so great a diminution in the
number of deaths from typhoid fever
that, if calamitous times could carry
MS back to the original condition,
there would be an increase in the
death-rate from typhoid fever OF
between 500 and 600 per cent. over
what it is now. The lowering of
this special death-rate has come
from the lettering Of public water
supplies, the controlling and i'm
proving of milk supplies, the teach
ing of the owners of wells and
springs of the great danger OF
drainage or percolation into them of
polluting matter, and the educative
work, which was begun in our State
earlier than elsewhere, which en-
phasizes the danger of contact in
fection-the direct transmission of
infection from the sick to those
who associate with them. Ellsworth
looks to the State health department
to look right after" its public water
supply in the early spring. We are
not content that the health of the
community should hang on so slen-
der a thread as a chlorinating plant,
which may some day, through me-
chanical or human dereliction, fail
to function.
