TO AsPHYXIATE RATS

Asphyxiation for sewer rats Is the
latest scheme in sanitation proposed to
the citizens health committee. X L.
Dunn and T. T. Lane. engineers, met
with the executive committee OF the
general health committee yesterday
morning and proposed a plan whereby
carbon dioxide. carbonic acid gas, could
be forced into sewers in the upper parts
of the city TO drift down toward the
mouth with the flow of sewage, leaving
a trail of dead rats and mice. The plan
would necessitate the construction of
gas generators. 1t would be expensive.
Lane told the committee that at the
Utica mine disaster, when many miners
were killed by the poisonous gas. it
was proven that the gas would drift
on the surface of water. When the
mine was opened up the escaping gas
went for several miles along the river,
killing all forms Of small animal life
along the banks.
DR.. Rupert Blue was not entirely sat
isfied with the outline of the plan as
made, but suggested that the engineers
submit their proposition in writing for
further consideration.
WATER FRONT INSPECTION
The executive committee appointed
DR.. Charles d. Levinson and III. III. Sher-
wood as a special committee on wooden
warehouses; dlOIlB the water lIOHl. LII
Blue, Dr. Langley Porter and DR.. e. II
Rixford were named as the committee
on wharves and water front. That com
mittee, with Health officer Broderick
will begin thorough inspection of the
water front, starting at the Eighth
street sewers outlet into the channel.
A meeting of the presiding officers
| of all fraternal organizations in the
city will be held Sunday in Golden Gate
hall. Sutter street for a discussion
! of the sanitation situation.
An interesting report on the work
accomplished by the citizens health
committee was made public yesterday
| by A. w. Scott, chairman of the educa-
/ tional committee. and L. M. King. secre-
| tary of the general committee. The re.
port shows the activity of the author
