With the sys- tenn of hydrants that are distributed along the street at close intervals and the hose and labor supply that are available. the roadway is kept well watered while the fronts of business houses also reap benefit by reason of the cooling water that they may in- yite and get. The cost of arranging for the system, the tapping of the wa ter pipes from the mines from which the water supply is secured free of charge. and the installation of the hy- drants was $500 This amount has been subscribed and nearly all paid in

 Health and sanitary conditions in the town are reported by physicians
 to be unusually good for this season If the year. There has so far been bat few cases of typhoid and other complaints that are usually contend ! cd with during the summer season gre almost entirely missing. More
 care has been taken this season by people of the town in the matter of 1 keeping their places clean than has ever before been exercised by them and the attendant results are highly
 satisfactory. Tn the matter of clean, liRess the suburb can give Bisbee a
 good many pointers, being in far cleaner and better sanitary condition
 than the parent town. The entire ab- | sence of dry closets and the presence
 of vaults on all properties is largely
 Irresponsible for the better condition
 of affairs.
