•31 Austin Street. Both Ptiores.
(By Georgt Wavorley BrlggtO
AUSTIN. Tex., Oct. 10.—The adoption
even by a small minority of tho Comrnls
stoners Courts of the State of the udvt- .
aory health code which will soon b«> pro- j
mulgated by tho State Hoard of Health, |
will mark, perhaps, the longest stride
I toward that ideal condition for which
! sanitarians have been working in Texas
j.ii s< \eral yeara.
There were but one or two sections of j
the code as drawn thai wen- objected
to by the conference of health officers
which met in Austin Inst ww-k, and as a
vast majority of the 100 or more phy-
sic-tans who expressed themselves as to
Its susceptibility to enforcement mani-
fested confidence in it. there is reason
to believe that the code will find favor
with a great many Commissioners Courts
and be incorporated in the ordinances of
incorporated cities and towns In so far as
It presents regulations that are not now
in force by municipal edict.
PROVISIONS OF THE CODE.
In view of the fart that the advisory
code as a whole will In all probability
have the effect of law in many counties
of Texas by virtue of its adoption by
Commissioners Courts, a brief glance at
its provisions, seriatim, may be of in-
tercut.
The code consists of eight divisions and
the rules thereunder are more frequently
gciH'ial. or advisory, as the name impl.es, |
than specific. In other words, the board
of health suggests general principles that
should be applied by looal authorities, but
it also makes specific requirements where
principles merely will not suffice.
The first section of the code is devoted
to disinfectants and disinfection, and
enumerates a list of standard disin-
fectants which shall be used. It mentions
bichloride solutions for bathing patients,
m utraliznig secretions, disinfecting linen, ,
for scrubbing floors and furniture, and
designates the variable quantities of bi-
chloride of mercury and water that shall
] be used for each purpose.
! Four per cent solutions of bichloride of
I lime are recommended for disinfecting re-
i ceptacles used in the sick chamber of
i persons sulfering from infectious or con-
i tagious diseases, while chloride of lime in
1 powder can be used for cesspools, drains,
sinks and the like. Quicklime is recom-
mended as one of the cheapest disinfect-
ants. Five per cent carbolic acid solu-
tions are suggested also for cuspidors
nnd other containers of supposedly in-
fectious matter. Such coal tar products
hh may meet the approval of the SLate
htalth authorities may be used. For
| aerial disinfection formaldehyde gas and
sulphur fumes are recommended. Sul-
phur fumes furnish the best insecticide.
BUKN THE GARBAGE.
A crematory or a dumping ground fo1'
i garbage must be provided anci must be
, kept continuously In sanitary condition
1 A number i f rules are provided for re-
lated purposes. Premises must be thor-
| otighly drained and all containers of
i water within 300 feet of a residence shall
j be protected ugainsi mosquitoes.
Under the head "Interment and Disln-
' ferment of the Head" the code com-
mands the immediate burial of bodies
dead of plague, smallpox, typhus fever
or cholera, Transportation of such bod-
ies except by hearse or undertaker's wag-
on is forbidden.
Unless permission is obtained from tho
health officer, no grave shall be opened
within a year if the fcody was that of
an adult, or six months, if it was that
of a child.
WASH SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
Proper attention is paid to the sanita-
tion of slaughter houses. The walls arid
floors shall be washed aim painted or
whitewashed at regular intervals; rooms
where animals are killed or meat is
handled must be screened; receptacles
and utensils must be kept clean and ster-
ile of infection; clothing of workmen
must be clean; pens and enclosures must
be sanitary and no hogs or other animals
shall be kept in 100 feet of the slaughter
house. Inspection of animals and meat
is required.
Meat carts must he constructed so as
to protect the contents from contamina-
tion, and no meat shall bo conveyed
through the streets unless properly
j wrapped.
Meat markets shall be subjected to
strict sanitary laws. All tainted meat
shall be removed immediately. Refriger-
ators must be scrubbed and scoured
weekly.
CARE OF MILK.
The "care and management of dairies
and sale of milk" furnishes the subject
for extensive provisions. Dairy cows
must be properly stabled and well groom-
ed. Care Is taken that no contaminating
place shall be in dangerous proximity to
the barn. Refuse shall be removed daily.
The udders shall be washed before milk-
ing, and the pails or milk cans shall be
kept in a thoroughly saYiltary condition.
I Milk rooms shall be screened and the
milk strained through sterilized strainers.
No person suffering from reportable dis-
ease or who has come In recent contact
with such a disease, shall be allowed to
ei«gagc In the production, storage or
transportation of milk.
Stringent rules are laid down to pre-
vent the use of dairy cows suffering with
tuberculosis. Examination is required and
if the tuberculin test establishes the pres-
ence of the contagion the infected cow
shall be isolated, and, If in the opinion of
the health officer it should be killed, it
becomes the duty of the County Judge
or the mayor to issue an order warrant-
ing Its killing.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
'Sanitation and disinfection of public
buildings" receives much attention. Pub-
lic buildings are defined to be any build-
ing owned by the State, or any county
or city school, dance hall, music hall,
picture show, fire hall, skating rink, thea-
ter, pavilion, circus, office building, ho-
tel, lodging house, restaurant, lecture
hall, place of worship or any building for
the congregation, occupatlou, entertain-
ment or amusement of the public. Such
places shall be well lighted and ventil-
ated; the drinking water must be pure
and wholesome; sanitary sweeping shall
be applied daily when In use; feather
dusting is tabooed; absorbent coverings
for floors or stairways cannot be used;
spitting on the floors or walls Is prohib-
ited; sanitarv cuspidors shall be pro-
vided for all such buildings except places
of worsnlp; floors of boarding or lodging
places shall be scrubbed twice a week
with soap and water and formaldehyde
or some other approved disinfectant;
sleeping and eating apartments and
places where food is prepared shall be
screened; the site of public buildings shall
be drained and water containers shall be
screened; ice boxes and refrigerators
shall be scopred with boiling water and
aired at leas* once a week; ipe must
be washed before being put into boxes
and must be handled with tongs; walls
and floors or kitchen shall be kept in
good repair; rats shall be excluded; ade-
quate arrangements for the removal of
garbage shall be made; all public build-
ings shall be disinfected under the su-
pervision of the local health authority
with formaldehyde or other approved dis-
infectant whenever any dangerous com-
municable disease Is discovered therein.
Da.ly Express Austin Bureau.
AI BTlN, Tex.. (Jet. IU.-A situation
v. h cli is causing some concern In edu-
(ui.onul circles is thai brought about by
letusals of certain financial and bond
blowers to buy the bonds of Texas In-
dependent school districts.
With IJttle money m t.ie permanent
school fund being used for buying inde-
pendent school district bonds the Texas
districts depended on outside capital to
tuae their bonds and thereby provide
luuds for better school buildings and
iiim.i'iU equipment.
i tie Attorney ueneral s department and
the L/epartmeni of education have re-
ceived a nuinter of iioiuiu anications re-
cently from ofttcials of school district a
complaining that they cannot piace their
bonds m the East, in nearly «\ery ln«
stance it seems that the mc ney lenders
l.ave secured opinions from their lawyers j
which d.uer them from purchasing. These :
(/pinions are to be d.ssected and answered
by j. T. Sluder, Office Assistant Attor-
ney General, who makes a specialty of
bond matters and has charge of all bond
matters coining before the Attorney Gen-
eral. It is not Mr. Sluder s duty to an-
swer them, but owing to the seriousness
of i he situation—the failure to sell Texas
school sccurit.es and the lack of funds
for school progress—hs will prepare a
paper covering the situation In a thor-
ough manner and allay the suspicions
in the East.
WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES.
It develops that a great number of the
objections grow out of the decision of
Juoge Wear at Hillsboro In the Itasca j
Schi ol U strict case in which lie held ;
ti e school tax amendment not carried ho- \
cause it did not receive a majority of ,
all the votes cast in the general election.
'I nls decision has undoubtedly prevented
the sale ol many issues of Texas school
c.lstrlct bonds representing thousands of
dt liars.
Other objections are based on the old
Mertens district decision where the bonds |
were held invalid because of the absence .
oi the specific amount of the tax on the ;
ballot In the electa n at which the tax
was voted. This has been cured by a
provision providing that the specific tax
is not necessary. There are other ob-
jections to the school bonds urged from
erroneous viewpoints, principally where
the laws have been perfected or changed.
The adverse opinions are based on the
old statutes and Mr. Sluder will point cut
the changes in his statement and general-
ly show the nealthy condition of Texas
bend laws and their operation.
STRANGE TO SOME MARKETS.
Schcol district bonds are a new class
of security in some bond markets. They
are not tlio stable paper like bonds of the
State, of the county and of the city.
For this reason the school district bonds
are shied at ,1ust a little bit, which ex-
plains the study given them by lawyers
representing bond buyers and their quick
Ir.cllnatlm to reject them. In other
words they arn afraid of school bonds,
and the several decisions in Texas have
caused that fear to seriously interfere
with the sale of our school district bonds
Judge S'uder hopes to make it so plain
th-.t confidence will hr fully restored and
there will be less trouble In the future
in the sale of the bonds of Texas Inde-
1 endent and common school districts.
