RESOLUTION OF THE PISHPEK UGORVOENREVKOM AND PISHPEK DISTRICT SANITARY COMMISSION ON COMPLIANCE WITH SANITARY NORMS BY THE POPULATION
Pishpek, July 12, 1920.
Confirming previously announced mandatory resolutions on sanitary measures for the population of the Pishpek district, the Pishpek Sanitary Commission categorically demands that the population of both the city of Pishpek and the district bring their homesteads into sanitary condition within one week from the announcement of this.
1. All citizens and institutions, both civil and military, are obliged to keep premises, yards, halves of streets, and sidewalks in the strictest cleanliness. Manure, ash, garbage, and other waste must be removed to designated places outside the city or settlement.
2. Manure intended for the production of fuel briquettes must be stored in piles, away from irrigation ditches and residential buildings.
3. Each yard must have garbage pits and latrines, which must be cleaned and disinfected when full.
4. Irrigation ditches must be repaired and maintained in strict cleanliness. It is strictly prohibited to wash and rinse laundry, dishes, to water and wash animals, and to let birds near the irrigation ditches.
5. It is strictly prohibited to dam water; to avoid flooding yards and streets, stored water should not be kept in pits and wells in yards, where stagnant water contaminates the soil, water, and air. All unevenness of streets, pits, and potholes must be filled with earth, but definitely not with manure and garbage.
6. It is strictly prohibited to let livestock: pigs, cows, and horses roam the streets, as well as domestic birds.
7. Monitoring the implementation of this resolution is entrusted to the staff of the city and district police, the communal department, volost and rural revolutionary committees, and the heads of both civil and military institutions, as well as the heads of sections at the horse-post stations. Since horse-post stations are maintained in extremely unsanitary conditions, the sanitary commission suggests that the heads of horse-post stations bring them into sanitary condition within one week and maintain the premises of the stations in strict constant cleanliness: wash, clean, and disinfect furniture, keep washbasins clean and have constantly fresh water in them, keep the dishes served to travelers clean, have clean towels for dishes, clean latrines, constantly disinfect them with lime milk, and maintain them in exceptional cleanliness. It is required that the homesteads and the streets adjacent to the post stations be regularly swept and kept clean.
8. If non-compliance with this resolution is observed, the Pishpek Sanitary Commission announces that after the expiration of the one-week period from the announcement of this resolution, those responsible will be held accountable in an administrative manner - fined up to 25,000 rubles or imprisoned in a labor house for up to 3 months and brought before the military-revolutionary tribunal.
Regarding the non-fulfillment of this resolution by employees of all Soviet institutions and the unsanitary conditions of institutions, meetings, schools, barracks, nurseries, medical facilities, etc., the heads of these institutions, both civil and military, will be brought before the military-revolutionary tribunal.
