DISEASE CLEANUP
IS LED BY GRANT
District Leaders Hope to Rid
Capital of Health
Hazards.

Surg. Gen. Hugh S. Cumming Of the
United States Public Health Service will
be asked to designate an expert to make
survey of the District of Columbia and
locate all possible sources Of mosquitoes
and all other spots where neglect has
permitted insanitary conditions tc
arise"
Such action was the result Of con-
ference held this morning and partici-
pated in by health and park officials
under the leadership of Lieut.. Col. U
S. Grant, Sd. director Of the Office OF
Public Buildings and Parks.
The various executive agencies con-
cerned will then, Of course. cooperate
in eliminating any undesirable Condi-
tons" said an announcement from Col
Grant, following the meeting.
Hopes for Cooperation.
Col Grant said that he hopes to Be-
cure the approval and collaboration OF
the Commissioners Of the District of
Columbia In eliminating such condi-
tons when found to be within their
jurisdiction.
"Of course, the health officer of the
District as we'll as the medical in
structor of public buildings and public
parks have already been intensively
engaged in this work as a part of their
general duties with limited personnel
at their command" Col. Grant ex-
planned, but they are agreed that
such a survey will help bring neglected
sistance Of the experts of the Public
Health Service and Of the Bureau OF
Entomology, the work will be very
facilitated and greater service will be
possible"
Grant Calls Conference.
The conference was called upon the
invitation Of Col. Grant to consider 9
practical way of initiating a campaign
for Kidding the Capital Of mosquitoes
and other sources Of infection.
while the gradual elimination OF
tidal marsh areas and their reclan1a-
ton into park lands has already
brought about very marked improve
ment In this regard during the last
century, Col. Grant considers that more
intensive attention to this subject Is
justified at this time" said a statement
issued by his office.
1.-The acquisition Of considerable new
unimproved areas and their addition
to the park system, has put under his
Jurisdiction many tracts which cannot
yet be actually improved. but the mini
mum necessary to eliminate mosquito

desirable pending the ultimate improve
