It Used to be Illegal to Spit on Sidewalks in Grant City

David Witmer, who was the City Marshal of Grant City at the time, published the following notice in the November 20th, 1913 edition of the Worth County Times:

The city ordinance forbids emptying ashes, paper, and other debris on the streets. Also forbids spitting on the sidewalks. These ordinances are being violated. I hereby give notice that hereafter, any person caught violating these ordinances will be arrested.

–David Witmer, City Marshal
