Mr. "Taylor mad a report on the
work that 'had been aone thus far.
He added that three trained nurses
-were now on hand for relief work
aa that a fourth probably would he
hers - today. - ? - .
"My suggestion is." eaid Mr. Taylor,
"that the 'congested area outside
that which was destroyed by fire be
divided, into four sections, and that a
trained nurse h placed In charge; of
each section. She would be given in
structions to make a thorough survey
of each house at- least four times .a
week to see that the sanitation laws
wtre kept.", , " . -Major
Erwin, who arrtved here yes
terday afternoon and:, who .will be-in
charge of " health and - sanitation.
stated that he had made a partial sur
vey. . of the devastated, area and ithe
surrounding district. ' . .
"We have two- tasks confronting
ua," said the Major. ."We've got . to
clean up that area which has been
destroyed and we must take the great
, est precautions in that district which
is - now. snjreBted and to ; which - -the
refugees have moved. We need labor
to go Aver thfe' . fire- area,' gather up
- refuse and fill up .vaults. ; I saw a
thousand colored men yesterday who
did not eem' -to be -. doing anything.
Thev should be Cut to work.
Mr. Taylor stated that; meal tickets
had been , printed and - that other
tickets .also. .had been printed, which i
were - given i-, to those refugees who
were too sick to do any work. All otu-'
era were expected to do their share In
the relief work. . '
It Was also brought out fit the' meet
ing that, some of the refugees have
asked remission -to tootc hack to the
; lot'-which -they foccupIed before the
fire destroyed theif, homes. They are
willing , to live ..in -tents ' or -portable
houses and have , .asked r Lleutehant
Kurt2 to supply them with tents. Ma
jor Erwin stated "that this probably
woulds be permitted", but that 'the lots
would1 first, have, to be cleared."
' " - t
Mayor Clarg was , called into con
sultation and ways and means were
discussed . whereby the : sanitation
needs in the congested and stricken
$rea could be cared' for. Major Erwin
suggested thai . the city, make a sur
vey,1 put In latrines and charge them
up to the property owners.
"The colored section of your'tity
la very Insanitary,", said Major Er
win. '.'I'm surprised that you haven t
had an epidemic before. There arei
surface toilets, for the most part, and
then there are wells close by from
which the residents get-their drink
ing water. Everything possible should
be done to overcome this situation.
Thfe Work" IsnV going td be finished
in a. week or two: it is going to con
tinue the entire winter. We (must
Watch the situation, closely and guard
against an epidemic." -.
: Dr. Miller suggested .that latrines,
such as are-.approved by the State
Health Department,? be put Jn. that
wens' too close to those latrines be
condemned and filled up and that
the landlords of the property be made
to, pay for the work immediately, or
else that it -be assessed against their
property..- This suggestion was. voted
on ; favorably and It is , expected ( that
It Will be carried out. .
; Other subjects pertaining: to; the
sanitation question wer brought up
at the - meeting.- Local relief 'work
ers feel that in' Major Erwin they
have a man who is thoroughly quali
fied to handle the situation. Backed
up by the local Red Cross rganissse
tion and other relief workers, , they
are confident that he will prevent any
epidemic from taking, place. He- has
been given full authority to carry out
any plans which he may think are f dr
the city's good.

10 PLANS
FOR TEACHERS
Jule Warren Explains Signin-
cance of Action Taken by
the Assembly
RALEIGH, N. C, Dec. 6. One of
the most significant actions of the re
cent cession of the North Carolina
Education Association here was the
unanimous endorsement of the cer
tification plan of the state depart
ment of- public - instruction, according
to Jules B. Warren, secretary of the
organization, Who today reviewed the
meeting:
"It is significant," Mr. Warren ex
plained, "because- of the attacks that
have been conducted, especially in the
western part of th state, against the
plaa of Superintendent Brooks. For
some reason, several of the western
North Carolina publications have seen
fit to condemn the plan.
"In order to set at rest the per
sistent rumors that the . teachers
themselves are dissatisfied with the
"plan, 'the association passed unani
mously the following resolution:
'" That, we the delegates to the
assembly representing all the white
teachers in North Carolina, give our
unqualified endorsement io the law
governing the certification of teach
ers and to the administration of the
same by the department of public in
struction and that we condemn tiny
attack upon this law or upon its ad
ministration as an attack upon the
educational policy of the stata and
upon the p-'i-fession which we represent."-
