City Health Officer
Apjohn and Council
Make Good Move
(From the Daily Examiner)

Several days ago DR.. Henri ApJohn
city health officer, appeared before
the council and stated that certain
conditions in Yuma had reached their
limit and that if the council would
back him up that he would at once Oe.
gin crusade against these conditions
that would bring about cleanliness,
but that in spite of the fact that the
law gives him all kinds of authority,
he must have the moral support of the
council in order to bring about the
needed reforms and needed cleanli-
hess.
He was told by the council to go
ahead according to law, and so far, be
it said to the credit of the council,
there have been no weak kneed sisters
or kneeling politicians who have
thrown straw in his path, but rath-
er every member of the council has
striven to do his duty, and to back up
the health officer in every move he
has made. This is right and as it
should be and for this the council, the
health officer and City Marshal Levy
all deserve credit.
TIE first nuisance the health Off
Ger went after was the chicken coops
behind the restauI ants, some of them
full of filth and smell of years
standing, perhaps longer. Not only
was this condition found behind the
restaurants, but behind the meat mar
kets and other places. All we're order
ed to remove these evil smelling and
health disturbing catch-basins from
the rear of the places of business.
City Marshal Henry Levy served the
notice and set the last minute for their
removal as tomorrow afternoon.
Some of the chickens were removed |
yesterday afternoon, but the pens still
remained to day with all their filth |
md evil smell.
O-uoJ siI hO'tu Ii. <hlOcIlh was oOCh
by the Examiner and when in conve--
5ation with HIM Councilman A. L. Yer
hugo happened along and in the pres
erce Of the Examiner and Cour china
Verdugo, Dr. ApJohn stated that if the
pens and chickens were not removed
cefore to morrow afternoon between
he hours of 300 and 400 p. m, that
he would Immediately cause warrants
o be issued, and the guilty parties ar
'ested and brought before the proper
authorities to. be tried according to
he law.
This is exactly as it should be, a.
is certainly to be hoped that if any
all to comply with the notice and fail
o abate the nuisance, that they are
iven the full penalty of the law, re-
ardless of who they may be, or how
luch or little political prestige they
nay have.
DR.. ApJohn is making an ideal
ealth officer and in doing his duty, ,
e should be given the moral support
{ every decent, law-abiding citizen iE
he whole community And not only
nat, but he should have the support
every member of the city council,
agariless.
