The type of closets, specifications etc must be approv ed by the Board of Health. The enforcement of this ordi nance is within the hands of the Mayor and council strictly, and the penalty for failure to conform with the ordinance is fixed by this body. For the sake of the good health •of the community rate protect, the city from epidemics of one land and another, and to safe guard the entire community, the Mayor and Council have enacted this ordi nance, and the city fathers are de termined to enforce it strictly. AW sanitary ordinances of the city in conflict with this one has been repealed, but the one enacted Monday night has teeth in it. ar.d the Mayor and Council state they are going to see to its full enforce ment.
