HOSPITAL FOR MONROE

Admiral Ross T. McIntire, surgeon
general of the navy, told house appropria-
tons committee this week that the hospital
situation in Key West is very serious"
He spoke only in regard to the needs
of the navy, but if he had been talking about
Key Vests civil population, the verdict
probably would have been the same-very
serious.
Key West--a city of some 10000
has, as the admiral pointed out one small
private hospital and a Marine hospital
which is crowded to capacity Through an
arrangement intended to take care of the
destitute, the entire county is able to put
five patients in Marine hospital at one time.
with d few more if there is room.
Doctors at the government hospital are
working day and night to keep up with
their present burden; many Monroe county
residents who should have he spital care,
but are not emergency cases, are failing to
get in, and the county keeps on growing
more and more populous.
Eventually, the county is going to find
it necessary to build hospital. And they
might as well start thinking about it now.
County Health Officer DR.. Parramore
listed a hospital for consideration as de-
tense project, which it obviously is, but de-
Tense or no. the county needs and should
xgff hospital.

A SUGGESTION TO THE NAVY

Most assuredly, Key West appreciates
the Importance to this community of Naval
activities and no one can imagine that Key
West falls short, not only in the matter of
appreciation, but also in its hearty willing
ness to cooperate with every department of
activities that is concerned with the well
fare AMI defense of our country.
It also appreciates the, fine attitude of
the officers stationed here toward the civic
life of the city. #.s .si a M
But, to us who are in close touch with
local conditions, it seems that the proposed
plan to evacuate and take over the five
squares surrounding the Court House, is
one that may be viewed from more than one
angle and one that calls for careful consi-
deration by the authorities in whom is vest
ed the power to decide the best policy in
the case in point.
The housing situation in Key West has
already reached the point of 100 per cent
saturation Finding place in which to live,
has become distressing problem to many
of our citizens That this condition would
be greatly intensified by the loss of the
homes in which 200 families now find
shelter, can readily be understood. If this
were the only land available, we would
cheerfully acquiesce in meeting the emer-
gency at whatever cost. IHr
But the Government has much vacant
land in Key West which could be usedMith-
out depicting the already restricted source
from which the city derives the revenue
necessary for its operation. This is especial
w the case with land now in the possession
of the U. S. Army
We respectfully submit for the consi-
deration of Naval facilities that the pos
sibilities of putting this vacant land to use,
be weighed carefully against the hardships
that would result if the residents of the five
squares surrounding the court house are
obliged to pull up stakes and seek for new
quarters where no quarters now exist.
We repeat.If there were no alternative,
there would be no voice raised against the
Navy acquiring this land for the purpose of
meeting its necessities. But; we believe
that there is at least ground for stopping to
consider the effect of the proposed move,
on 200 families; and the fact that there is
vacant land that can be utilized without
hardship to anyone and without further de-
pleting our already seriously depleted tax
roll.
And to the authorities we commend a
careful consideration of these facts.

HEAVY RAINS DAMAGE CROPS
Entire Delmarva Peninsula Affect
ed by Wind and Rain

Recent heavy rainfall and high
winds damaged crops extensively
over the entire Delmarva PENN
sula, reports arriving indicated, as
some areas reported damage to the
higher grades of wheat being har-
vested. Somerset and Caroline
County farmers and agents said
the tremendous rainfall had left to-
mato fields under water in some
cases and that the continued bat
tering from the rain and wind
would create a considerable loss.
Canneries have begun to pack
string beans in some parts of the
peninsula, although the heavy rains
prevented picking of the beans un-
til yesterday when field workers
were able to resume gathering
what is believed may be normal
yield despite the bad weather.
Early cucumbers are bringing good
prices in general and they have
been greatly benefited by the rain
fall, having been retarded behind
usual picking dates by the unsea-
sonably dry and hot weather. The
blackberry season is not expected
to last more than this week, but
the wet weather has not affected
the quality of the incoming berries
as much as it had at first been
feared.

HEALTH SURVEY
MADE IN STATE
State Board of Health Will
Resurvey Many Towns For
Data on Sanitation
HOME TO HOME CHECK

The State Board of Health,
through its Sanitary Engineering
Department, is making resurvey
of many towns in the state to de-
termine what sanitary facilities are
available in incorporated areas and
how much improvement has been
made since the 1885 survey. At
that time, every town in the state
was examined and recommends
tions made by Richard c. Beckett,
sanitary engineer, on the best
means for each town to improve its
sewerage systems in order to safe
guard the health of the people, on
the grounds that there is direct
connection between improper sew
age disposal and the spread of
typhoid fever, because the disease
is frequently carried by flies. Maps
have been made showing this cor
relation in Delaware. Three men
from the Sanitary Engineering De-
partment are now spending the
summer, making house to house
surveys checking the number of
families connected to public water
supplies as compared to those who
are using their own wells, and how
many houses have sewer connec-
tions or sanitary pit privies as
compared to the disease-spreading
open back type. The new survey
shows that Richardson Park and
Claymont areas have radically i'm
proved, due to the installation of
sewerage systems, and that Reho-
both, Georgetown, and Harrington
have added some sewerage con-
struction. Delmar and Clayton
have continued their good sanitary
record. Laurel made some addi-
tion to her sanitary system four
years ago but since has done very
little about it, according to the
records of the resurvey.
