Typhoid Carriers
Held Responsible
For Outbreak Here
One Case Occurs Where Disease
Has Been Present
Ten Years

Dr. Charles Halliday, of Balti-
more, State epidemiologist, yester-
day stated that there is no reason
to fear general outbreak of spinal
meningitis in Montgomery county
although two deaths occurred over
the weekend. Meanwhile, three
more cases of typhoid fever have
been reported. Children in the fam
lilies in which the deaths took place
have been placed under quarantine.
while every one WHO came into con-
tact with the victims are to UNDER
go daily examinations for a week.
DR.. Halliday ordered such stems
taken after being sent to Mont
gomery yesterday by the State
Board of Health.
Four cases Of typhoid fever have
been reported from Montgomery
County during the past few weeks
Three of the cases are in the upper
part OF the county and one in the.
lower part. One case has occurred
in a section which has had typhoid
fever almost every year for ten
years or more.
The Health Department SAYS that
healthy carrier of typhoid germs
has caused the cases in this area.
but previous attempts to find the
carrier have not been successful.
"The last of the cases probably rot
her infection from an unprotected
spring and this spring has been
posted by the Health Department a.
unsafe, The spring, however, could
not be regarded as the intimate
source of infection. Someone who
is a typhoid carrier must have in
fected the spring and the finding OF
this carrier is more important from
healtn STANDPOINT than the knOwl-
edge that the spring was the mode
Of transmission"
IAN open spring should not be
regarded as safe source of water
even if the spring is protected from
surface drainage. Different people
using a clean spring, can by dipping
utensils and their hands into the
water, contaminate the spring. Be-
sides, animals can carry infection
from unsanitary toilets and other
places, thus rendering the water un-
safe.
"A good rule in regard to water
OF uncertain quality is to pass it by
and stay thirsty until you can get
some water that you are sure about"

SuppIanfed Sunday BY Bus System
Abandonment Of Street Cars Mark Long Struggle BY
Civic Organizations In Montgomery County-New
Method Held More Modern And Efficient

Saturday marks the last time street
cars will be apt to run between Rock
vile and the District Line. The old
familiar clang of the motorman's bell

considerable increase in the amount
of service between those points.
Existing fares and transfer ar
rangements will not be disturbed by
the change nor will there be any
change in the service on the Mont
gomery Bus Line; the new line to
be operated entirely apart from Mont

for our rail and bus lines in the vici-
nifty of Wisconsin avenue and the Dis
trict Line at a convenient location,
with an enclosed waiting room and
covered platform. In the meantime
we will continue use Of street car

Henry H. Nicon
Named Supervisor
OF State Roads
Windsor Hodges Is Appointed
Assistant; so Laborers Laid
Off In Move

Sweeping changes in the State
Roads Commission maintenance force
in Montgomery County were made
last week as two new supervisors
we're appointed, three supervisors dis
missed and so laborers laid off.
Henry H. Nicol of Kensington,
former pastor of the Cedar Grove
Baptist Church, was named super
visor. with W. Windsor Hodges of
Barnesville as his assistant. Both
strong supporters of the new Repub-
iican administration, they replace
three supervisors appointed during
former Governor Albert C. Ritchie's
reign.
Nicoll and Hodges assumed their
duties Immediately and their first
official act was to make a survey Of
road projects in the suburban area,
after which the former ordered the
release of so laborers. Nicon de-
clared the move was solely in the
interest of economy and said he had
not formulated any definite policy
regarding personnel.
The supervisors who are replaced
are Thomas E. Shaw of Silver
Spring, Andrew M. Newman of
Chevy Chase and W. Frank Ricketts,
of Rockville. They are to be re-
tanned for a short while until Nicoll
and Hodges become familiar with
their new duties.
Ricketts, has been supervisor of
roads in the upper end of the county
since he resigned as a county COM
missioner two years ago, while New
man and Shaw have been supervisors
Of roads in the suburban area for a
like period.
Their salaries were borne jointly
by the State and county until the
new Fusion party bloc, controlling
the county board, recently halted the
county's contribution for this pur-
ios
llcoll and Hodges will come under
the Hyattsville district, for which
Edward G. Duncan is engineer, and
they will direct all construction and
maintenance on State roads, dirt,
secondary and lateral highways.
Eventually it is planned to divide
all of the road work throughout the
State into % county units and dis
pense with the district plan now in
use.
Nicoll was pastor of the Cedar
Grove Baptist Church for several
years, leaving the pulpit to engage
in construction of homes near Ken
Sington.

No Paralysis In
Montgomery County

No cases of infantile paralysis
have been reported from Mont
gomery County up to the present
time this year. While it is i'm
possible to predict whether the
disease will reach the county, there
IS certainly no cause for alarm
and no reason for restraining the
activities of children.
While little is known about the
mode of transmission of this dis
ease, it is will to be on the safe
side and avoid unnecessary trips
to communities in which several
cases have occurred. The taking
OF children to these places is GER
tainly inadvisable.
