North C.arolina Board of Health 17 laws, and a fairly satisfactory compliance with the laws regarding the reporting of communicable diseases was brought about. The Bureau of Venereal Diseases, paid for by the Federal appropriation, was established in September under the directorship of Dr. James A. Keiger. Mr. Warren H. Booker, for the last seven years the efficient director of the Bureau of Engineering and Education, left in September for Red Cross work in France, the work of his bureau being continued, with the exception of the engineering work, by Mr. Ronald B. Wilson, who had been employed earlier in the year to succeed Miss Herring in assisting Mr. Booker with the journalistic work. Miss Herring having been engaged by the War Department for educational work. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the health work during the year 1918 was the epidemic of influenza. The epidemic began early in October and caused in October alone 6,056 deaths; in November 2,133 deaths, and in December 1,497 deaths, a total during the last three months of 9,686 deaths. The annual appropriation for the State Board of Health for 1918 was $73,210.38. The annual appropriation for the State Laboratory of Hygiene was $12,500. The Laboratory, during this year, collected $8,532.48 in fees for special work, so that the total income of the Laboratory for this year was $21,032.48. 1919. The General Assembly passed the following important health legislation: Chapter 71, entitled ''An act to prevent the spread of disease from insanitary privies"; Chapter 192 entitled "An act to provide for the physical examination and treatment of the school children of the state at regular intervals"; Chapter 206 entitled "An act for the prevention of venereal diseases"; Chapter 213, entitled "An act to require the provision of adequate sanitary equipment for public schools"; Chapter 214, entitled "An act to obtain reports of persons infected with venereal diseases"; Chapter 215, entitled "An act to amend Chapter 671, Public-Local Laws of 1913, relating to the injunction and abatement of certain nuisances." The Bureau of Engineering and Inspection was organized in April. The engineering work of the Board had been suspended with the resignation of Mr. Warren H. Booker in September, 1918, Mr. Booker having gone to France to engage in tuberculosis work under the direction of the Red Cross. Between September, 1918, and April, 1919, the engineering problems coming before the Board had been referred and very kindly and effectively taken care of by Col. J. L. Ludlow of Winston-Salem, the engineer member of the Board. Mr. H. E. Miller, an engineer and a graduate of the University of Michigan, was placed in charge of the new bureau, and his brother, Dr. K. E. Miller, of the United States Public
