100 years ago…

August 20, 1906 – Tampa’s Sanitary Chief E. D. Hobbs makes house-to-house checks to insure that the city’s citizens are living up to the new sanitary laws. Hobbs, in emphasizing the importance of the new mandate, said that “if you are violating sanitary laws you are as guilty before the law as the keeper of a bawdy house, a gambling dive, or open saloons on Sunday.
