B|SBEE's HEALTH REGULATIONS
 ANCIENT
Mayor Cayen Is Giving Matter of New Ordinance on Matter His Attention-Many Other Projects.

Probably at no time in the history of the city have 50 many matters of importance to the municipality been under consideration as at the present, and yet others of equal importance are arising daily. Some of the mat ters, such as the selling of the sewer bonds: the taking over of the sub way; the building of retaining walls along the Naco road and Opera Drive, and the proper lighting of the city, are well under way, while others are as yet in embryo. such as the building of a new pest house: the framing of health regulations. and the improve ment of the city roads.
 In the matter of improving the city's highwayA. probably the first to receive attention will be Naco road. as 1t Is in worse condition than any other. and Is travelled to a great er. tent. At tho last meeting of tho City Council Mayor CaveH brought to the attention of the council the fact that Naco road was in a deplorable eondi. ton. and urged that steps be taken at once to remedy tho defects. The council was unanimous in endorsing what the mayor stated and it was SUE. gested that tho Board of Supervisors be asked to cooperate with the city Ia improving tho only highway bo- tween Bisbee and Lowell.
 When seen about the matter by Review reporter ]. J. Bowen, member of the Board of Supervisors. stated that the county would undoubtedly do it's share towards improving the road. 1T the city would make similar i'm. provements within the municipal boundaries. The eouneiimen were in accord with this suggestion, and at the next meeting of tho Board of Super. yisors. a committee from the council will advise with that body as to the plans to pursue.
 According to the plans at present under consideration. it ia probable that several culverts will be placed at points In the road. whore the stream which goes down th. cnnyon in case Of n heavy storm washes out the road. These culverts viii cost approximately sis09.
 in regard to the matter of framing. health regulations. very little attention has been given to it to date on SO count of the pressure of other bus- ness. That this ia a most important measure. and Is locked npon sa such, Is apparent from remarks made by Dr. Cayen. when interviewed by a fsa- view reporter on the matter yesterday. At that time the mayor asid
 T do not thlag that any one ac. quaInted with the circumstances VIII say that Bisbea'a health regulations are even modern. nst to say anything of being Of she standard thRt should Do observed in a community wilh the wealth and adyaHooment which we hsvs in Bfsboa.
 ''whiis ! have reaitsed for some lime that this matter needed astan, ffon, have been hampered from time 10 time. and have been unable to get the necessary data together "a the form in which would like te present it 10 the City Ceaneli. However, uf. iess something unforeseen occurs will take lt up in the council la tise very neay future. md have no doubt that aii Of ihs coanciimen win soc tho nscefisty of making fadicai changes,
 @For instance. st fl.e freeent time we have no regulation requiring pns dssfakefs to have a ieais certificate signed hy fhs attending physician ba. fore body is buried, and doifbt f ycn can And another city Of Biebes's Eizc in the United States where snch rule is not in force. it is true lhsf there is a territorial law covering this matter 10 a certain extent. but an of the opinion that this matter shouie come under the supervision of the city authorities as is contemplated h our charter. Under the present system q body can be buried even under the most suspicious circumstances. and no one wifi know the cause of death.
 Another master is the maintain cnce Of a proper quarantine in case of contagious diseases. and Inc pun ishment of any one who violates tho
