Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 80, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 March 1909 — HEALTH BOARD NOTICE. [ARTICLE]

HEALTH BOARD NOTICE.

There has been some response to the request for cleaning out vaults, and a good deal of work has already been done, but there is a disposition on the. part of some to put it off and to think a collection of from one to a few years amounts to nothing. The less there is the less the expense of cleaning, and this is a general order and is to hold good all over the town, no difference being made between you and your neighbor. If It is good for one it’s good for all, and as the City Board of Health and County Health Officer have made this a general order there should be a hearty response instead of requesting the scavengers to come around some time later. The men are here now and the work should be done as soon as you can secure them. Please don’t resort to excuses, but clean .them all out. You will be prouder of your town then, and it will be a much healthier place in which to live. CITY BOARD OF HEALTH.
