RvEYF|NDSL LACK
OF MEDICAL CARE
Rural Communities Receive
Inadequate Attention, Says
Wilbur Group.

Proof that the poor of rural COM
munities receive inadequate medical
care Is contained in survey Of a
fairly typical" State made public to-
day by the Committee on the Costs Of
Medical Care.
Lack of medical attention, especially
preventive work and dental treatment,
coupled with a tendency to spend too
much money on Standardization. is re-
vealed by the survey Of medical facil-
tiles in Vermont.
The committee, under the chairman.
ship Of DR.. Ray Wilbur. Secretary of
the Interior. chose Vermont as the
scene Of IT'S thirteenth study because
that State was considered representa-
tive of New England and other his
torically mature communities.
Despite the fact that many practi-
TONERS have insufficient work. the re-
port points out, rural communities con-
tinue to suffer from lack of medical
care because the inhabitants are too
poor or too thrifty to spend money for
doctors.
Many outlying communities, the re-
port said, must pay mileage charges
when doctors are summoned from a
considerable distance, and there is no
T1ed1lS Ol CllSt1 1UAtAle uACl0So4 AoC11lI1Co
according to the needs Of the people.
Preventive medicine is sorely neglect
ed" the report continued. There is a
great disproportion between the expend-
iture for public health work. 81 cents
per capita annually, and for nervous,
mentally unsound and feeble-minded
persons, SEAS per capita"
With regard to dental care, the report
pointed out that ITO per cent OF the
people studied had no dental care what
ever during the year"
In addition, there is enormous
economies and human loss illustrated
by the fact that 80 per cent Of the
total expenditure for the care of illness
is practically wasted because spent for
Standardization or inferior types Of
practitioners"
The survey embraced study Of 1900
rural families and disclosed that II
per cent Of them paid 81 per cent Of
the total cost incurred by the entire
gloup.
The series of studies undertaken by
the Committee on the Costs of Medical
Care will be completed in the Fall of
1882, when the findings and recon-
mendations Of five years of intensive
research will be announced 1t Is
hoped that the general survey will help
solve the problem Of the delivery Of
adequate, scientific medical service to
all the people, rich or poor. at a cost
which can be reasonably met by them
in their respective stations in life"

VAN SWER|NGENS
MAP NEW MERGER
C. & o. to Take Over Ale
gheny Corp. Holdings of
$500, 900.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 1.-THE Van
Sweringen brothers Of Cleveland have
taken another important step forward
in their plans to pave the way for the
formation of a major railroad trunk
line system, 1t has been learned in Wall
Street.
A transaction has been completed
whereby the Allegheny Corporation. i'm.
portant holding company formed by the
Van Sweringens, will transfer some Of
Pere Marquette common stocks to the
Chesapeake g. Ohio. The entire deal
involves approximately $5500,0O0.
Under the plan C. g. o. will acquire
from the holding company As 900 shares
OF Pere Marquette common stock at S11
per share, a total of S5O8 900, and
four-year option to purchase 215, 900
shares Of Erie common and 167,300
shares Of Nickel Plate at s13.25 a share
each. On this basis the cost of the Erie
stock would be s2,846,750 and the Nickel
Plate S2,216,715.
It is understood that the transaction
will provide the Allegheny corporation
with sufficient cash to retire its bank
indebtedness entirely. The company
recently shifted the collateral pledged
behind two of its bond issues in such
a way as to strengthen the position Of
the bonds and the new transaction, it
was said, further benefits the COM
panys securities by improving Ale
gherys cash position.
While the option prices set for the
Erie and Nickel Plate common stocks
are about points above the present
market, it was understood that the
Chesapeake & Ohio management was
entirely satisfied with the proposal. 1t
was said that an effort to purchase
large blocks Of the stocks in the pres
ent movement would send their quo
tations substantially higher.

VIRGINIA OFFICER
RESUMES DUTIES
Motor Vehicle Inspector Was Sus-
pended for Assault on
Photographer.
By a stan Correspondent of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
RICHMOND. Va, February 17-Mo-
tor Vehicle Inspector T. F. Stafford is
back at work after suspension of 10
days for an assault on Joe Roberts
Washington Times photographer, dur
ing the funeral Of Mrs. Spencer Ilsley
at Middleburg on January IS, it was
learned today.
Stafford had already been suspended
by T. Mccall Frazier, director of the
division Of motor vehicles. At the time
the former made his report on the case
to Gov. John Garland Pollard, on jan
uary 26, but the fact was not made
public because Frazier believed that
part Of the affair concerned only his
department and Stafford he said.
A report that Stafford's suspension
had been ordered by Gov. Pollard was
declared to be untrue. since the sus-
pension had already taken place at the
time the report was made
In his report to Gov. Pollard Frazier
stated that he believed Stafford's arrest
of Roberts and several other photcg-
raphers was justified, but that the as
sault could not be justified, under any
conditions and that the necessary
punishment would be meted out
Frazier believed that the suspension
without pay was sufficient punishment
without the added embarrassment Of
publicity.

POST OFFICE ANNEX.
BIDS ADVERTISED
Offers for Huge Addition to
Be Opened by Treasury
on March 20.

The new annex to the Washington
City Post Once advanced one step
nearer today when the Treasury De-
partment advertised for bids to be
opened March 20 for construction of
this large building.
Congress has authorized a total OF
$4,000,000 for It's construction and
present post office. and will be located
on the vacant lot to the north. The
contractor will be given 720 calendar
days to complete the job.
The Treasury, 1t was also learned to-
day, has decided to split into two sep
arate contracts the Superst-ucture work
on four huge buildings in the Federal
triangle, located between Twelfth and
Fourteenth streets, Pennsylvania and
Constitution avenues.

sion. Department Of Labor and Govern
ment auditorium, all three of which will
run along Constitution avenue like one
huge structure. from Twelfth to Four
teenth street, will be thrown together
into one contract for the superstructure
Bids for this will be asked in about
three weeks.
The Post Once Department, which
will run southwark between Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets to connect with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
Building. will be put into another con-
tract. It is expected that bids for the
Post Once Department will be asked
little later
Excavation and foundation work now
Is under way for all four of the build
ings, and good progress Is being made.
Serious consideration had been given
to putting all four of the buildings into
one contract, and it had virtually been
decided to do this. Owing, however,
to the fact that foundations for the
Post ONCE Department are about three
months behind the other buildings, 1t
was decided to split the contract.

MONTGOMERY BOND
ISSUE IS DELAYED
Commissioners Fail to Receive Bid
for $4,000 for Roads
and Schools.
By a Stan Correspondent of The Star.

By q Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md. February 17.-No
bids were received yesterday by Mont
gomery County commissioners for the
$500 900 general road and school bond
issue.
1t was said to be the first time In
recent years that a county issue had
failed to produce bid. County officials
expressed the belief that there were no
bidders because Of the existing national
and international financial depression
which has adversely affected the mar
ket for State, municipal and county
bonds.
The money expected from the bond
sale is not needed to complete any
projects now under way or contracted
for, Lacy Shaw. president Of the board
OF commissioners, stated. II the bonds
can be sold at any time within the next
80 days the school and road projects
they are to cover can still be done this
season and If not the Improvements
will have to be delayed until next year,
he said
OF the bond issue total, SAIL 900 is to
60 to schools. including new construc-
ton. additions to present buildings and
purchase of school Sites, and the re-
mainder into road work. The bonds
may also be sold at private sale, Mr..
Shaw pointed out. If sold privately the
State law requires that they bring not
less than 80, he said.
