(SANITATION OF
TOWN OF VALDEZ
(Continued from page 3).
numberless flies. Indeed such
conditions in an unmindful com
munity seem as if it was invent
ed for the very purpose of car
rying infection to ourselves, to
our children, to everything that
lives, by the agency of the fly and
kindred carriers of infection.
Without'an intelligent and con
scientious co-operation of the in
dividual citizen, the power invest
ed in the health officer cannot
work for the full benelit of the
community. While i am awake
to the grave responsibility of
maintaining good sanitation yet
the task would not be so difficult
if every housekeeper is mindful
'of tile principles of sanitation and
of the importance of keeping her
back yard free of decomposing
'vegetable matter, of keeping her
privy fly-proof, of being as zeal
ous of'her surroundings around
I be home as of her parlor or her
(kitchen. She must remember
'that tile house tly has the faculty
of scenting fermenting or foul
smelling material at a great dis
tance and Hint the garbage can is
a clearing house for infection.
From the foregoing remarks
the remedy for such evils sug
gests itself and can he expressed
in two terms; cleanliness and dis
infection. But oil the whole, it is
in Hie removal of garbage and re
fuse and in the disposal of all
manure ihat the fly pest can be
most efficiently abated in our
town, and that the danger of
spreading disease can be reduced
to a minimum. To he more spec
ific Hie following steps should he
Iakeu:
I. Removal ul an manure piles
from (.lie si reels ami alleys ami
open places; removal of manure
from the stables every len days
in summer and careful sprink
ling of the floor with chloride of
lime. . By limiting the intervals to
such short period the manure is
removed wilhin'lhe period of in
cubation and all larvae on the
•floor are killed by the chloride of
lime, which is a powerful mag
got killer. The manure should
be removed or stored in bins in
the stable, which should be so
constructed as to exclude rain
water and should be in all re
spects wafer tight and should be
provided with ii cover so as to
prevent the ingress and egress
of flies.
2. In llie absence oi a sewer
age and water system, a sanitary
privy should be maintained which
should have tight walls and a
tight receptide with a ventilating
pipe and a tight trap door. The
recepticle should he emptied in
the newly built city cesspool and
disinfected with a little chloride
‘of lime. The most important
litem in the construction is that
it he water closet should be per
fectly fly and insect proof. Some
of the now existing ones are not
even cal proof.
3. The garbage barrel or recep
H.icl»- should be provided with
tight cover, lie water proof and
'kept in the wood shed and every
ff>w days a handful of chloride or
'lime is thrown in: the keeping of
garbage boxes or barrels without
covers and allowed |o decompose
and putrify in the sun and dual
ly its contents are scattered by
dogs and cats, is a vicious prac
I ice and will be prohibited.
i. All dish water and sink wa
ter should be conveyed through
a drain into a cesspool well cov
ered in the ground and occasion
ally half a gallon of bleach (half
a pound of chloride of lime dis
solved in one gallon of water;
thrown in the drain pipe.
5. The removal of all peelings,
vegetable mailer, decayed trails
and tin cans from the surround
ings of the home.
<i. The expense of one dollar s
worth of chloride of lime if used
judiciously would secure a fair
degree of sanitation: it is best
used on the ground or on a place
to he disinfected by making a so
lution in the proportion of half a
pound to a gallon of water which
solution is called bleach and used
in a sprinkler. In garbage pails
and barrels or in water closets;
use dry.
