Annual Health Report.
The annual health report of City
Health Officer Louis e. Foulkes, made
public yesterday, shows the lowest
typhoid rate ever recorded here.
there being but one local case during
the past year. The record is ac-
companied by a comparison Of the
typhoid cases in the city during the
six years past which shows that in
1918, there were 200 cases; in 1919,
there was a drop to eighty cases;
In 1920, forty cases; In 1921, thirty
four cases; in 1922, seven cases, and
In 1923. only one case.
The report further shows that the
general health of the city is i'm
proving, due. probably, to the more
effective sanitation and inspection
system which has been in operation.
One case of small pox was reported
during the year.
Five stills. three houseboats, 100
gallons of corn whisky and large
(quantity of mash have been destroy
ed recently in the dyke, several miles
below the city, according to reports
made by prohibition agents. All prop
erty was destroyed. The agents made
the hauls in five different localities
after. at times, wading through icy
water which reached their waists.

PROBE OF CANNED OLIVES
ORDERED AT CARTERET

CARTERET, July 25-An immedi-
ate examination of all cans and bot
ties of ripe olives carried by the deal
ers of the borough will be made by
Health Inspector Frank e. Born, fol-
lowing the receipt of an order from
Bureau of Chemists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The examination of each individ-
ual container containing the olives
is necessary to check a fatal out
break of botulism. This poisonous
cases have led the government Off
cials to believe that the potential
danger involved Is so great as to
warrant the survey of olives whether
they are packed in tins or glasses.
Inspector Born is advised that 1t

has been the experience of late that
some or three cans or bottles out OF
an entire shipment may be infected
with the bacillus botimulus.
A representative of the pure food
bureau of the government will assist
Mr.. Born in the task. I'm view of
the seriousness of this situation the
survey has to be made without fur
ther delay" the government report
states.
The inspection is for the purpose
of removing from the channels OF
commerce the olives that may be
dangerous. A series of deaths have
been recorded lately, which has
prompted the government officials
to take the drastic action.
1t is explained that this step is not
to discourage the consumption of OIL
ives, but merely to safeguard the
people from the bad stock, which
may be found among the merchan-
disc.

PLAN FIRST CLASS
CAMP GROUNDS
City May Leave It to Marsh Bros.
Who Plan to Devote Entire
Time to the Business

OF the various proposals con
ccrning the city's camp ground, the
one which is receiving the most
consideration is the plan to place
the whole matter III the hands oi
the March Bros, who have beer
laying plans To establish II camp
with all modern facilities.
The Commercial Club camp
gound committee, appointed at
the recent club dinner and com
posed OF j. G. Wadsworth, l.. NJ
Appel, and Harry D. Steele, has re,
viewed several plans outlined for
the conduct OF the camp ground
and though the committee has not
made any definite decision, it is
looking with considerable favor up
on the Marsh Bros, proposal
This plan, in brief is. to place the
whole matter OF camp ground
management in the hands of the
Marsh Bros. who would establish
the camp on the Santa Fc Trail
near the old sugar factory The
location has many natural adyan-
tagcs which would appeal to tour
lists. The Marsh Bros, would e.
quip the grounds with all modern
conveniences and provide protec-
tion for those using the place.
This would be available to tourists
at II small cost.
The various views on the ques.
tion OF whether the city should
conduct free or a pay camp
ground have brought out much
which has tended to cast
into disfavor any proposal to have
TIE city manage the camp.

Allow Bills and Discuss Important
Matters, But Transact Little
Business

The Board OF Trustees m, in
Office Monday evening, Nav 5th.
All members OF the board were
present. Aside from passing pom

but confined itself to quisl ard

concerning the city's welfare.
Councilman Smith advanced
lotion, which was seconded by
Councilman Woods, directing that
the work of trimming trees along
the sidewalks on important streets
be completed The motion was
carried. On many of the streets Of
the city the rank growth OF low
hanging tree branches causes con
siderable annoyance to pedestrians,
and the city has been removing
them. This work has been done

The question OF providing light
