A. P. Hanehett of this city, who Is chair
man of the Iowa 'State Coard of Health.
Dr. Hanehett further expresses the
opinion that It Is the duty of the local

Dr. Hanehett suggest that Lafayette

of the state board of health, be asked to
come to Cemictl Bluffs and advise with the
local bcirt "nf health as to the cause of
the trouble and the best measures to be
adopted for Its correction or suppreslon.

have not been at any ne time more than
thirty to forty cases of the disease In the
city, and it has not been so prevalent as
to bs termed an epidemic. It Is true
typhoid, although most of the cases have
been of a mild type.
(Jawsaal 1st Wlater. S
"There are enough cases to make the
situation serious. We always expect more
or less typhoid in the lata summer and
fall, but it is unusual for It to persist
through the winter a It has done here.
Prom our experience I shrfuld say that
the water supply Is the source of the
disease In Council Bluffs. I see Dr. Tubbe
states that practically all his cases have
been of people working or living In
Omaha. This has not been our experi
ence. Nearly all. if not all of our case.
have been Council Bluffs people, and an
unusual proportion of them have been
children. Our cases have been in el'
parts of the city, no part seeming to b
especially affected. In most of them,
think, eity water was used. In others
the patients had attended school where
they drank city water. . but there nave
bee some cases where city water was
not nsed so far as I know. The condi
tions here and the fart that the same sit
uation exists in Omaha, which also se
cures its water supply from the Missouri
Hver. would indicate to me thai the
trouble is with the water supply.
"The province of the state board of
health in such matters is largely aavis
ory. The local boards must deal directly
with the trot'bte. and I am glad to see
that the Counoll Bluffs board Is Uklng
hnM of the matter."
Dr. Hanehett expressed the hope that
some means would be found to check the
spread of the dlseass before warm weither,
but said he was not sufficiently acquainted

with the law to say what powers the local
Board of Health had in the matter.
City Solicitor Kimball, to whom the mat
ter was referred yesterday by members
of the city council who constitute the mem
bership of the Board of Health, made an
examination of the statute to ascertain
what powers the local Board of Heslth
would have to enforoe measures for the
purification of the water supply should it
bs determined by tho state,, chemist, after
making a baoterlologlcal analysis as di
rected by the city council Thursday, that
it was Impure. v
"There Is no provision giving the local
Board of Health specifics authority In this
particular matter," said Mr. Kimball, "but
It is my Judgment that the general powers
conferred on such boards would apply In
this case. Of course the city could not
require the waterworks company to build
yw reservoirs er go to unreasonable ex
pense. Any reasonable requirement could,
I think, be enforced." I

The selection of the four candidates on

garded aa an especially strong one.
Mr. KUlpack Is one of the' membre-"of
the board whose term expires this spring.
He had announced that he would not be a
candidate for renominatlon and finally
yielded to the importunities of his frknd
and consented to allow the caucus to name
him.
J. P. Hess was suggested as one of the
nominees, but his name was withdrawn
when it was learned that he was not will
ing to accept the nomination. There was
some discussion of selecting a party candi
date for city assessor, but nothing wss
done as It wss suggested that the caucus

named at the city republican convention,
which will probably be held some day next
