Provos problem le not as serious as aome, hut it deserves attention and la securing attention by the present City Commission. 1 believe that the first attack against infection and disease In Provo should be made at dose range end that the distant sources should he controlled later. The Mayor and Commissioners have done this in sponsoring the extension of onr pavements, thus helping to reduce dust and the diseases coming from this source. They have worked to extend the sanitary sewer system Into every section of the city, displacing cess pools, privies, and limiting ground water contamination. At present the Mayor la studying the problem of disposal with a view of better controlling thla source of garbage disease. Provo has been fortunate in not having an epidemic of water borne or sewage diseases for many years. The records of the City rhysfeian show that during the past 10 years there have been only 24 cases of typhoid fever. Five cases were at the State Hospital and Professor Robert Sauer four rases originated outside Provo, leaving 15 cases originating in cases to river were traced of these drinking Provo proper.
