Bisbee daily review., 1905-07-13

Relative to the need, of improved sanitary conditions in the city, as demonstrated by the above appalling typhoid record for 1904, the Review is interviewing taxpayers regarding the building of a sewerage system. Wheth- CT for or against sewer, whether TOT or against municipal ownership, the following questions will be found in interviews printed below;
 Are you in favor of an issue of SloO,- 900 in bonds for the purpose Of insfa. l. ing a sewerage system?
 Do you think that this bond issue will cover the amount of expense?
 Do you think that the extra taxation will be justified by resultant improve ment in health conditions in the city,
 Do you think the system should be owned by the city or by private indi- viduals or corporations?
 D you think that by instahing sewerage system the ravages of ty- phoid fever and of all infectious dis eases will be lessened?
 Can you make any suggestions as to a remedy for these conditions if the sewerage system is not installed?
 
 On being seen on the subject of the proposed sewerage bond issue, Frank Bauer said:
 -T would not wish to be quoted on the bond proposition. but I will say that I am most heartily in favor of a sewer and of any means that can be employed to get one.
 q believe that a sewer would be Of very great benefit to the citizens Of Bisbee. and would do away with ty- phoid fever and all other infectious diseases to a certain extent. have no doubt whatever son this question. I believe that it would be a perfect Iife-saver to the people of Bisbee.
 "The only thing that can suggest, if the sewerage system is not put in, 10 better the sanitary condition of the town is the use of more sscavengeT wagons. The scavenger system could be greatly improved. The sewer is the only thing for this town, though, and l hope 10 see it built very short ly"
 c. Znmstctn said that he vas very much in favor of the proposed bond issue for a sewer, as he thought that was the thing most needed by the town at present
 This town will never be healthy until the sewer is installed, and the soon 1t is put in the sooner, in my opinion, the typhoid rate will be low cred and the general health condi- tfons in the city bettered.
 Certainly think it will kill typhoid to some extent. and do away in some degree wit hall infectious diseases.
 q believe that the tax for the put ting in of the sewer is a very just enc, for I am of the opinion that good health is to be more considered at all times than money"
 The only thing that I could sug- gest for the betterment of health con- ditions in the city is the use of more scavenger wagons. The psesent scavenger system is not what it should be by any means. One wagon is not enough for a town of this size, and ]! is not able to do the necessary amount of cleaning up. The addition of one  CT two more wagons would very much improve the system, and in my opin- ion would render the town much more healthy to live in.
 'We certainly need @ sewer said W. E. Tester, land I am in favor of it's installation as soon as possible. believe that with a good sewer tho typhoid rate would be very greatly lowered, that is if there were a suff cient water supply to flush it at al times. If we can have sufficient wa ter to flush the sewer and also sup ply enough for the fire service. ther I am in favor of the installation of . sewer before the city puts in a wa ter plant of it's own. but if this is nor possible. then I believe that the Wa ter system should come first
 'T am in favor. under conditions that I have already stated. of ths Council raising the assessment SC fhaf eewarago gVcfom can he in
