THE HEALTH OF THE STATE.
Information and Snjgestions Contained in
the Report of the Board of Health.
The seTenth annual report of th Stato Board
of Health wai approved by the board and signed
by its member at a mtetinebeld in their rooms
at the Capitol yesterday. Besides its considera
tion, and a few ratine matters, no other, busi
ness was transacted. It sets forth that the
health of the State has been above the average
during the year past There was considerable
typhoid fern following the dry weather of 1SS7,
but 'the mortality was light considering the
number of cases reported, aod there wcra no
serious epidemics of any kind. Cases of small
pox were reported from a few points during
the year, but it was cot allowed
to spread. Sanitary inspections were made
thronchoat the year of the various eleemosy
nary and penal institutions, and they were cen-
erally found in cood condition, with the excep
tion of a few county asyloms, which cannot be
remedied without new buildings beine substi
tuted for thoi e now in use. Complaint is made
that the keepers of many of these asylums are
selected from the lowest bidders, without any
reference to their qualifications and fitness for
such places. It has been the endearor of the
board to secure a good sanitary condition for
every school in the State, and a considerable
cortion of therenort isderoted to answering the
question of wnat constitutes a good school-house.
Diseases among lire-stock have not been
more prevalent than usual during the year past.
There bare been a few cases of glanders among
horses, pleuro-pneumonia and cancer-jaw among
cattle and cholera amone hogs reported, and
some little mortality resulting from each. The
board renews its recommendation for a State
veterinary surgeon, whose services shall be ren
dered free to those needing them, and proposes
that a veterinary circular be prepared for gen
eral circulation. A contention of county, city
and town health officers was held in this city on
the 7th of June last, and saDiects connected
with sanitation wpre thoroughly discussed. Other
conventions of like character are recommended,
and radical amendments to the law eovernicg
the collection of vital statistics are asked.
Among the other specific requests made by
the board are these fur power to destroy
diseased animal.; a law requiring burial per
mits, and providing for the payment of county
health officers by fees or salarie; the placing of
power in the board to remove county health of
ficers for cause, and to increase tbe number of
health reports from 3,000 to 10,CC0; the appro
priation of a contingent epidemic fund for use
in possible emergencies; tbe power to abate city
sewer nuisances; an increase in tbe capacity of
the Deaf and Dumb and the Biiod
Asylums, and the provldmz of regula
tions governing abbatoirs and cattle inspectors.
The State has been divided into five districts,
and the members of the board, Dr. S. R. Sea
right, of Lafayette; Dr. W. A. Fritsch, of Ev
aDsville; Dr. Samuel . Boots, of Greenfield: Dr.
John N. Taylor, of Crawfordsviile, and Dr. C.
X. Metcalf, of Indianapolis, are each in charge
ofadistnet. Thirty States of the Union have
organized boards of health, and have derived
undoubted benefit from their creation. The
abandonment of the national Board of
Health is regarded a3 a mistake, and ita re-establishment,
under the charge of the Interior
Department of the government rather than un
der army management, as lormerly, is
recommended. Under this head a paper contrib
uted by Benj. F. Lee, M. D., entitled, "Should
not the national governmentdefend our national
ports aeainst our national enemy, contagious
diseases!"' is submitted.
One hundred and fifty-five towns and cities in
this State have organized health boards, and
many of them did good work during the past
year. Soveoteeu towns and cities in tho State
now require burial permits.
COMMISSIONS TOO HIGH.
Manufacturers of Threshing Machines Aree
to Observd a Uniform Rite.
Seven gentlemen, representing companies that
manufacture more than two-thirds of the thresh
ice machines and engines built in America,
met at tho Bates House yesterday
to consider matters pertaining to their
line of business. The following
companies were represented: J. J. Case & Co.,
Racine, Wis., by C E Lee; Russell Ss Co.,
Massillon, 0., by A. A. Russell; Gaar, Scott &
Co., Richmond, by W. D. Scott; Aultman& Co.,
Canton, O., by J. A. Lenville; Springfield
Threshing-Machioe Company, Springfield, O.,
by J. B. Cartcell; Advance Company,
Battle Creek, Mich., by B. F. Skinner;
Eagle Machine Company, Indiananolis, by L.
W. Hasleman. The special object was to eon
aider the commissions paid to aeents. Prior to
the last threibinc season a meeting was held in
Chicago, and a "pool," on commissions, was ar
ranged. The commissions were fixed at a certaa
standard, and no comt any was to offer greater
Inducements in selling machines than' was
specified in tho agreement. All the manufact
urers interested, except one or two, signed it.
There was no extra demand for machines
the last season on aeount of a light
wheat crop throughout the country, and
it is claimed that some of the manufacturers in
order to dispose of their stock broke tho agree
ment and offered extraordinary inducements to
gents and purchasers in tho way of commis
sions. The meeting yesterday was called as a
eon of court of inquiry, and to
take steps to prevent, if possible, any breaking
of the agreement in the future, and to indnco
every manufacturer in the country to sien it.
The evidence as to some of tbe members violat
ing the conditions agreed upon was heard,
and & grievance committee was then
appointed, whose dnty it will be
to look after violations that may occur in the
futnre. The committee was also instructed to
prepare a remedy to prevent any difficulties of
the kind. It is claimed that in the past some
of the strongest hare taken advantage of the
weak companies by paying enormons commis
sions. The representatives of several of tbe latter
say that with commissions continued as they
have been in the past they would have to close,
as all the profit goes to tbe middle man.
In all there are abont twenty- manu
facturers of threshing machines in tho
United States, and the majority of
them are located in Ohio, Michigan
and Indiana. A few years ago, when machines
were sold at from C1.S0O to $2, 0C0, there was
considerable profit, but now the average price
has come down to $1,500, tbe manufacturers
state their profits are not large, even if they
can maintain the medinm commission plan.
Southern Prison Affairs.
In the report Warden Patton, of the Prison
South, submitted to the directors of that insti
tution the receipts from earnings are given at
$74,137.71; disbursements at $71,006.29, leaving a
net ba.ance of $2,531.42. There was in the
prison throughout the year an average of 557
convicts, the cost of supporting each being 35.1
cents a day. The total cost of provisions was
$23,1S3.G6, the aversge cost to each man per day
being 1L4 cents. An indebtedness of $28,953.33
was contracted under Howard a administration,
but from this is to be deducted $4,832.23 for the
library and convict fund, for which suit ia
pending against A. J. Howard. There was
charged against the appropriation for mainte
nance and outstanding debts, $78,775 91. The
balance of the indebtedness is $17,b25.77. Seven,
contracts for prison labor are in force with
manufacturers of boots aod shoes, hollow ware
and saddle trees. The prices paid for this labor
are from 50 to CO centa per daj. The directors
ask for an appropriation t meet tbe balance cf
the ouUtandiuj: indebtedness, $6,000 fcr an electric-light
plant and $75,C0O for new buildings.
