Better sanitary conditions in all parts of the city and cleaner streets in the business section were deter mined upon by the members of the City Council at a special meeting of the City Council held yesterday after noon at o'clock.
 Sanitary Officer Spaulding was told to search out those who are en- dangering the public health. notify them that they must take care of their sewerage, and if they do not to at once proceed against them in the courts under existing city ordinances.
 Inquiring if he would have the back ing of the Council should he take dIasdc steps. Spauiding was informed tEat he could not go to any extreme within reason that might be necessary to improve the city's condition but he would have the support of the Council members
 If it Is necessary" said Mayor Caven. q will appear as a witness against those who are now risking the Ewes of their neighbors by not prop erly taking care of slops from their kitchens and refuse of all kinds"
 Mayor Caven's sentiment was echoed by other members of the Council, several of whom have within the past few days visited all parts of the city, learning that in number. of Instances sewerage is being allowed to run down hillsides, becoming breed. ing places for fever germs. -
 Hot weather approaching, which a of hn the sanitary condition of the city must be looked after more closely than during any other season, has led members of the Council to turn their attention to cleaning up the city.
 It is believed that if the proper steps are taken now, sickness in Bis bee during the coming summer will be small in proportion to what it has been during past years. Even now the city Is in better shape than it ever has been, but the members of the Council are determined to still fur ther improve it.
 Attention was called to one partic- ularly dangerous place. It is the narrow gulch that leads from School Hill, by Mary Teck's place and into the alley in the rear of Frankenberg Bros. & Newman. In the lower end a board walk has been laid, under which the accumulated sewerage from a number of residences in that part Of the city run, and find their way into the subway.
 Officer Spaulding was instructed to at once make a thorough examination and determine just who is at fault for this condition. As soon as he learns they will either have 70 con meet with the sewer pipe in the sub way or be liable to arrest.
 Alderman Morris stated that in his opinion part of the water that Is run- ming under the board walk comes from some distance above He believes that some of it is oozing out of the bank below the residence Of Frank J. Graf. reaching that point from several of the gulches above.
 Attention was called to several other parts of the city, where nc cess pools have been provided and the re fuse Is all handled above ground. These places will be investigated ard a remedy applied as soon as possible.
 It was decided to purchase paper cart for sS0 and employ at least two men. who will be kept constantly on Main street and Berwery avenue and other paved streets to gather up the refuse during the day. It will be swept into piles anJ carted away at all hours of the day and night.
 Alderman Allen stated that in con yersaIion with Mir. Walter Douglas. the latter had stated to him that ar raugemenc can he made whereby the city will be given room for sidewalk on the plaza in front of the company offices. and along the street. It would mean a connecting walk between the Main street and Brewery avenue busi- ness centers.
 Suggestions were made regarding the widening of Naco road between the depot and slag dump.
