NEBRASKA CITY-The Board of Educa tion last evening had a little experience they did not appreciate.

Health Commissioner Connell yesterday sent to the raayot and council a report of vital statistics for 1906, with a com munication setting forth present conditions and needs of ths hea'th department Dr. Connell contends his department should have a larger appropriation that the city of Omaha may be properly protected. The health commissioner's report contains the following; figures: Total deaths during ISttS were IS9, of which 1,192 wore white and 47 colored; 704 males and 686 females: 47B married, 004 sin gle and 167 widowed. Nineteen nationalities were represented in the deaths. August wss the high month, with 1M deaths, and May low, with (L Of 308 deaths from com municable diseases W died of tuberculosis. Classified by ages the report shows t deaths of persons under 6 years Of age, 104 deaths between 70 and 80, 41 deaths between SO and W and 11 deaths between 80 end 100. During 190$ there were S.1A6 births in Omaha. Out of that total LOGO were males, l.Oiio females and 116 still births. Of the births 47 were colored. The births and deaths of colored persons were exactly the same during 190$. Deaths from violent causes were as fol lows: Ptomaine poisoning. 4; railway ac cidents, 9; gunshots, 6; knife wound, 1; fractured skull, 1; throat cut, 1; strychnine poisoning, surgical operation, 1; falls, 6; automobile accident, 1; killed by horse, 1; burns, 1; general accidents, 26; suicide, 16; heat prostrations, 1; drowned, ; street car, 2; opium, 2. Waats Mora Mosey, Dr. Connell's communication states: I deelre to call your attention to the In adequate appropriation made for running the health department. It la utterly Im possible to maintain anything of a sanitary condition in the city with the amount of money appropriated. To show how ridicu lously small the appropriation that has been given this department la, compared with even thirteen years ago, for instance, in IRifl there waa expended for aanitary in spection alone $4,iM). The total expended for sanitary inspection In 1906 was less than $1,200. So the city spent In 1906 for main taining the aanitary condition over $6,700 leas than it did thirteen years ago, when the city was nowhere near the site it now is. It Is absolutely necessary that you In vestigate the needs of the health office and see that there Is a proper appropriation made for It the coming year. If-1 attempt to bring the city ud to anvthlna- like a sanitary condition the funds allotted to me ror tne year 1W7 will be exhausted by Sep tember. The total amount appropriated for the neaun aepanment ror laos waa $9,000, with $376 added from miscellaneous sources in the shape of bakers' license mnnev and money received for disinfecting, etc The iuuhi amount expenaea in 19US was $9,372.87, which I aive In an Itemised atatmn l. where In my report, leaving a balance of $2.13 in the health department. The total amount appropriated n the emergency nospitai lund for 19 was $2,500. The amount exDended wri iimjii hih In an Itemised statement, is riven elsewhere In ,my report. This waa an overlapse of ma. iuu nave appropriated $2,000 to run this department this vear. What h pense will be only time can tell, but there w ub no curuuiment or expense necessary to maintain the Emergency hospital or peethouse, oven If it should run far beyond the amount appropriated for Its mainte nance.

I have asked your honorable body on two different occasions to appoint a veterinar ian to Inspect these, dairies and correct the evils whloh are now existing. Until this Is done It will be Impossible for the health department to bring about the re forms that are absolutely necessary. If you would Uke my suggestions and rear range the Inspection now existing and ap point a veterinarian as a dairy inspector, which would necessitate only an expendi ture of $1,600 more than Is now being spent, some of which Is being virtually thrown away, I could accomplish more In three months for the good of the city than Is now being accomplished during the whole year. This does not Include some extra sanitary Inspectors which I will put on aa soon aa spring opens and give the city a thorough cleaning;. I am not able to give as good an Itemised account of the work done by the milk in spector aa I would like, owing to the way the records have been kept In this depart ment In the past. I have Inaugurated a c system for keeping these records in the future and in my next report will be able to give a complete record of the work done In the milk department. Weed Ralissee. The weed nuisance la under the health department and Is very Important In many ways; they are not only detrimental to health, but an eye-sore to the Inhabitants, and show a dilapidated condition of the town and often are the means of keeping outside capital from Investing In the city. Four years previous to 19u the city spent $2.o0 each year in cutting weeds. In lVKi, with an expenditure of only $490 by the city, there were more weeds cut in the city of Omsha than there had been In the last five preceding years combined. The citlsens, as a whole, are enthusiastic over having this nuisance removed and some ar rangements must be made -very soon by your honorable body to abate this nuisance the coming summer. I would suggest that you make a news paper publication a legal notice, instead of having to serve individual notices, as this would make a legal notice on owners of property who live out of town to have the nuisance abated, aa wall as those resid ing In the city. If there Is a fund set aside known as, the weed fund, then all weeds that were not cut by the time speci fied, the city could cut and pay the expense out of the weed fund and tax It up to the property; as those taxes were paid they could be put Into the weed -fund and It would therefore not be necessary to make an appropriation for this fund more than once.
