SANITARY CAMPAIGN
 WILL BE STARTED BY INSPECTOR PERRY.
SANITARY ORDINANCE SHOULD BE BORNE IN MIND BY THE
 PEOPLE OF BlSBEE

With the approach of summer and hot weather comes the ever.present problem or taKing care Oi Lne ny pest and the sanitary conditions of Bisbee. The flies are already begin ming their seasons campaign against the peace and safety of Bisbee. The greatest aid in the preserving of good health in the city has been the ac- tivity of the city officials, including the city physIcian anu the sanitaiy inspector The latter has worked, since last year, under ordinance No. 1S4, entitled An Ordinance for the Collection and Disposal of Garbage and Refuse and Defining Certain Pub lie Nuisances."
 D. R. Perry, the city sanitary in spector, will immediately take steps toward the enforcement of the ordi- nance. Before going to the limits prescribed in the statute, however, the city officials thought 1t advi- sable to acquaint the public with some of the salient features of the law on the city's books in order that the people of Bisbee may avoid as many conflicts with the law as pos sible.
 Section of Ordinance No. 1Si of this city reads as follows:
 All livery stables and places where animals are kept shall be pro vided by the person conducting or owning the same or having posses sion of the premises, with fly-tight or screened box and all manure and animal eXcrement at such places shall be collected and placed at least every second day in such screened or fly-tight box, and by such person removed or caused to be removed, to the city garage dump, at least once in every four days unless the sanitary inspector shall issue his written permission for it's retention upon 1t appearing to him that the means provided for keeping the same are efficacious to prevent the same from becoming a nuisance or in any respect dangerous to health which permit he may re- yoke at any time upon it appearing to him that these conditions are not maintained"
 Section Of the same Ordinance is as follows:
 No person shall permit or suffer to accumulate upon any pace. or premises possessed or controlled by him, 10 throw or permit to fall or remain upon any of the public streets. sidewalks or places of this city, any manure, stagnant, waste or impure water, garbage, refuse, slops, rinsings, dishwater or filthy material or rubbish.
 Section of same Ordinance is as follows:
 No coop or pen for chickens or fowl where swill is fed shall be maintained nor shall any swine be kept"
 Section of Ordinance No. 16 reads as follows:
 Anything which is injurious to health or is indecent or offensive to the senses, or which obstructs the free use of property, or which in- terferes with the comfortable en- joyment of life or property by an entire community or neighborhood or by considerable number of per sons or which unlawfully obstructs the free passage or use in the GUS tomary manner of any water course, public place, street, alley, or high way in the city of Bisbee, is a pub lie nuisance"
 In speaking of the ordinance and its enforcement Perry said last night:
 "The violation of the above provi- sions is misdemeanor Pm the officer particularly charged with the enforcement of these and other like provisions of the law. While it is not
 necessary that l should notify any person of the existence of these or, dinances, before beginning prosecu ton for their violation, l do so, in order t0 give opportunity to those
 desirious of abiding by the law. to , conform to these provisions. The
 season is now at hand when the
 failure to premises in sanitary con I, dition will increase the risk of dis ease, and 1t is my intention and thai
 Of the Health Department of the city
 to see that the ordinances of the
 city in regard to these matters are
 strictly enforced.
 Yours truly.
