As to Sanitary Conditions.
To the Editor of the ERA:

To the Editor of the ERA;
 The articles in the ERA of recent date in regard to the sanitary condi- tiOn Of Clifton is only too true, and am led to believe that, at least by those unacq tainted with the law, l am held responsible. For the information Of the public I would state that the duties of the County Board of Health are not to clean up each and every individual back yard. This is the duty of the property owner and resident.
 The law provides for the establish mert of local boards of bealth in each city, aud the laws of Arizona make city laws apply to all mining camps of a population of 100 or ovc:: also the law specifically states that this act shall not in any. way interfere with any local board of health already es- tablished.' At the time this law was enacted Clifton had local sanitary commission which was doing fair work, but this seems to have ceased Of late. As Mr CoIquhOun suggested some time ago believe that this commission should continue its otfOrts, or a new commission or local board of health be established.
 have time and again expressed the willingness, of the County Board Of Health to cooperate with any local board in all efforts; but even the best local board can do little without the hearty, earnest endeavor of each resi- dent and property owner lo aid in the good work. This does not mean to complain Of your next door neigh bor when your own back yard or front porch needs ventilation and little wholesome use of soap and water or chloride of lime.
 Let each individual epdeavOr to keep his own home in perfectly clean wholesome condition and there will be little room for complaint and the path of the local sanitary commission will be a comparatively satisfactory one.
