In its Sunday edition, February 14
The Greensboro Daily News prints an
interesting editorial entitled
Rambling Discourse on Municipal
Sanitation." Instead of rambling how
ever, this editorial is very much to
the point. Taking Asheville as a mod
el of sanitation, the pioneer work of
this city along these lines is de
scribed in detail. The article is grati
fying to those who have given so
much time and enthusiasm to making
this city a wholesome and delightful
place to live.
The News says:
"The bulletin of the health depart
ment of Asheville, for January, comes
to hand, a little more leaborate than
usual, and presenting a compilation
of all the ordinances of the town hav
ing to do directly with the field of
sanitation. These ordinances, it may
be said, aim in a general way at the
maintenance of pure water, certified
milk, tubercular tested cows, closely
inspected dairies, pure foods, abattoir,
meat and restaurant inspection, flush
ed streets, the scientific handling of
eomunioable disease, and cleanliness
and order in general.
"Specifically, the standings of 28
restaurants, as scored by United
States government standards, are pub
lished, as usual. This scoring Is upon
equipment and methods, and ranges
from a final score of 98 (equipment
98 and methods 98) down to 47
(equipment 4G and methods
Milk tests for 25 retail dairies are
given, the range being as follows:
bacteria, per cubic centimeter, 9,000;
butter fat, 5; specific gravity 1,033;
total 14.4: to bacteria. 63.000; butter
fat, 5.2: specific gravity 1,028; total
solids, 13.6. It is explainer! that an
average count of over 50,000 bacteria
'would indicate careless ' methods,'
that the legal minimum of butter fat
is 3.25 and the legal minimum of
total solids is 11.75 "samples below
standard would indicate adultera
tions.' "Kighteen wholesale dairies are al
so reported in the same way. The
best of the wholesale dairies is not
nearly so clean as the best of the re
tail dairies; but the dirtiest of the
wholesalers is cleaner than the dir
tiest of the retailers. Out of all these
dairies, there are only three showing
bacteria in excess of 50.000 an ex
cellent commentary on the result of
the work as a whole. The bacterial
count Is made up from averages from
several samples from each dairy dur
ing tne month.

in really serious way there, the dairies
were amongst the dirtiest to be found
anywhere, which is saying a good
deal, for dairies not under surveil

streets that are washed from pressure ,
tanks. There was considerable diffi-1
culty with the dairymen at the verj ,
first, but the worst of this was qulcn-1
ly over, ana it was a comparatively
short time after the initiation of the
work before substantial results were
forthcoming.
"Asheville has been mentioned as
the state's model in sanitation, but
as a matter of fact it is one of the
pioneers of the entire world in mod
ern scientific sanitation, for Asheville
had the good fortune to get right in
on the ground floor. Modern sani
tation really may be said to date
from the time, seven of eight years
seven, we think when in the city
of New York a hypothesis was form
ed and worked out as to the relation
ship between the distribution of the
housefly, the prevalence of certain
sorts of filth, and the occurrence of
intestinal diseases. In making this as
sertion we are not unmindful of the
lessons of sanitation drawn from the
Spanish-American and- Kusso-Japan-ese
wars, and the applications in
Havana, New Orleans and Panama.
The housefly studies and conclusions
merely served to make the science
practically complete. Asheville began
to rap on Mr. Fly at the very time
serious indictment was first brought
against him .
"There is not a town in the state
that cannot do successfully most of
the things that have been done suc
cessfully in Asheville. Water from
virgin timber sources and uneroded
areas is at present an impossibility
throughout most of the state, but we
are firmly of the opinion that muni
cipalities will sooner or later turn at
tention to the building up of water
sheds covered entirely with vegeta
tion and excluded from trespass ex
cept of the most restricted sort. The
thoroughly scientific and economic
municipal system is found nowhere
outside Germany, where those towns
that meet this description own conta
gious forest lands that furnish a large
part of their revenue. It will perhaps
be so in this country, at some distant
day. The town will own its forest,
utilizing the timber as it comes to
maturity; and that forest will be the
source of the water supply. There
will be absolutely no drainage over
eroded surfaces. The forest will serve
as a pleasure ground for the people
with quick access from surroundings
of brick and mortar and black dust;
only there will not be nearly so much
black dust, for the streets will be
kept washed and those who burn soft
coal. Including the railroads, will be
forced to burn it with a minimum of
smoke. The streams In these munici
pal, forests will be as clean and clear
as they were when red savages stalk
ed the deer along their banks, and In
numerable songbirds will find home
and refuge there again.
"These things are some little ways
beyond the curtain, no doubt, but
there are many excellent things In
the way of sanitation open now to
all the towns. It Is largely a matter
of cost. Nowadays It is a mighty poor
doctor who does not understand san
itation. And there are good doctors
