DR.. CHAPLIN MAKES
REPORT ON THE
RAT NUISANCE

Some weeks ago a petition was pre-
sented 10 the city council by several we'll
known business men. asking that body
20 take some steps looking TO the ex-
termina ion OF the rats. which for long
time has been a nuisance.
Tho petition was referred 10 the COM
mittee on health. and II was in turn re-
ferred TO the superintendent OF health.
That official has looked into the matter,
and at the meeting OF the board OF alder
men this afternoon made the following
report:
The petition referred 10 me indicates
that the rat nuisance certainly exists
and indeed is a matter OF common knowl-
edge that in the central sections OF the
city rats are very common. and do a con-
siderable amount Of mischief. Whether
the nuisance is sufficient TO warrant any
action on the part OF the city could prob
ably hest be determined by such a COM
mittee as is suggested by the action or
the city council
As regards danger 20 health there is
no evidence that rats are n factor In
the causation OF any disease except bu-
bonic plague. The danger from this dis
ease in Providence IS 40 remote that no
action on that score would at the present
time be warranted Neither IS IL for a
moment TO De supposed that the city s
in any degree liable for the prevalence
OF rats. Nevertheless, II this. or any
other serious nuisance can be abated. or
greatly diminished BY reasonable munich
pay action IL l. certnly proper for the
city TO take such action
IL is my impression from the atten-
ton that / have been able 10 give TO the
matter that IL would be difficult. IL not
impossible for the city. at any reasonable
expense. 10 do much towards the abate-
ment OF the rat nuisance Nevertheless
no reason suggests itself why this whole
subject should not be Investigated by n
committee OF the city council. as is pro-
posed in the resolution passed by the
council Concurrence in the resolution
would relieve the board OF responsibility
and insure full consideration OF the In
terests OF the petitioners.

It TO be his belief that the bill should be
