48 NORTH CAROLINA BOARD OF HEALTH. • County; the minimum spent by any county on health is .002, Alleghany Count}, As the State spends .0002 per capita on health, the maximum spent by any county on health is .0902, by Durham, and the minimum spent is .0082, by Alleghany; the average spent by hoth State and county, per capita, is .0254. Estimated on a basis of taxable property instead of per capita, the maximum spent by any count}' is .035 per $100 taxable property, bv Pamlico; the minimum on the same basis, .001 by three counties, Robeson, Burke and Alleghany; the average per county spent for public health per $100 taxable property is .01. As the State spends .0025 per $100 taxable property, the most spent in any county on a basis of taxable property. State and county combined, would be .0375, by Pamlico County; the least spent on the same basis by any county would be .0035, by Robeson, Burke and Alleghany; the average spent on same basis would be .0125. As soon as the data for the other forty-three counties are obtained, a table showing the total public health expenditure of the ditierent counties will be published. On October 20, 1909, Mr. John D. Rockefeller, having investigated the claims of Stiles and others regarding the prevalence and economic importance of hookworm disease, decided to donate one million dollars to be used by a commission for the eradication of this disease- This is the largest public health appropria-lion ever made for the eradication of a single disease, and its importance rests :upon its deeper significance, namely, that philanthropists are beginning to realize the fundamental value of health conservation. This magnificent gift will be appreciated by the Southern people who have the public interest deeply at heart, and it is to be hoped that it will be used so wisely that its results will be so evident that others may follow the example of Mr. Rockefeller. On February 9, 1910, Dr. John A. Ferrell, of Kenansville, County Supeiin-tendent of Health of Duplin County, having been highly recommended to the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission by Dr. Richard II. Lewis and Hon. J. Y. Joyner, was appointed Assistant Secretary of the State Board of Health for the Eradication of Hookworm Disease, subject to the approval of the State Board of Health. Drs. Lewis and Thomas and Col. J. L. Ludlow, composing the Executive Committee of the Board, approved the appointment of Dr. Ferrell, and he was declared elected. Dr. Ferrell will make a report of the work so far accomplished, and the work planned, in the eradication of this disease. During the first part of September, your Secretary visited and inspected the administrative offices of a niimber of Northern public-health organizations. These included the Xew York City Board of Health, the National Tuberculosis Association, the Lederle Laboratories in charge of Dr. Herbert Pease, former director of the Xew York State Laboratory of Hygiene; the Massachusetts State Board of Health, the Rhode Island State Board of Health, ami the Bureau of the Census at Washington. From the officials in charge of all th 'se offices the most cordial treatment was received, and the large number of helpful suggestions more than justified the time and expense of the trip. While in XeAV York, with Sanitary Engineer Ludlow, the Gerard Ozone Process Company was visited, for the purpose-of examining the process of ozonation as a practical method for water purification. This visit was authorized by the August (1909) meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board. We found this method of purification still in the experimental state, and, as
