Record of remarkable public health in Washington summer
Dr. A I Donaldson credits three factors for low illness and deaths in Washington this summer including sanitation of garbage disposal, fly control with screens, and especially use of filtered river water. He notes only two to three typhoid cases and a very low death rate, contrasting with wider outbreaks in Michigan City and Loogootee. The city plans to condemn surface well water as unsafe for drinking and cooking.
