Walking Where They Walked-City Ordinances

Here is an interesting article dated April 1892, by this time the Roberts family were living in Rock Springs, Wyoming. 



"Be it ordained by the Town Council of Rock Springs,
Section 1.  It shall be unlawful for any person to draw water from, to open, or to close, or to do anything with or about any fire hydrant in the Town of Rock Springs, unless authorized so to do under the authority of the officials of said Town or of the Water Works Company, and any one (sic) convicted of so doing shall be fined in a sum not to exceed Fifty dollars.
Sec. 2, It shall be unlawful for any person to put any substance of thing into, or to hitch or fasten any horse or other animal to, or to tamper or meddle in any way with, or to wilfully (sic) injure or deface in any manner whatsoever, any fire hydrant in the town of Rock Springs, and any person convicted of so doing shall be fined in a sum not to exceed Fifty Dollars.
Sec. 3, This ordinance shall be in force and take effect from and after its due and legal publication,
