Brenham aims to be a model sanitation city in Texas
Brenham city officials press a campaign to make the town one of the state’s cleanest and healthiest. The State Board of Health praises Brenham for enforcing fines on premises breeding flies and mosquitoes and adopting a whole time rural sanitation unit with a doctor nurse and sanitary engineer to improve water, waste and school health programs. The plan, supported by the State Board of Health and the International Public Health Service, follows funding enabled by Dr W H Beazley and shows the spread of sanitary communities across Texas counties, including Orange County’s early adoption and noted benefits.
