SNAKES INFEST VACANT LOT
DISTRICT AUTHORITIES ASKED
TO DRIVE THEM OUT.
Citizens Complain of Conditions on
Premises on Florida Avenue
Northeast.

The Commissioners have been called o.
to drive the snakes out of a vacant 10,
on Florida avenue northeast between

Houok a resident of that neighborhood
has complained bitterly because of gen
eral conditions in and around the lot
describing the place as a disgrace to the
city. He says that SO much concrete anC
torn-up street material have been thrown
on this little piece of ground that the
snakes are just swarming there.
Doyle Found No Reptiles.
Capt. Doyle of the eighth precinct was
informed of Mr.. Houck's complaint and
made three trips to the jungle on this
ot-but found no snakes. On the other
nand, residents of the neighborhood say
they have killed several squirming rep
tiles on the lot and on adjoining prem
Uses.
The engineer of highways received the
complaint few days ago, because 1T was
street material that was harbOring these
-eptiles. His recorded reply is as fol
ows:
This office is unable to associate from
past experience or from rational eXpecta-
ton the presence of this old material as
cause for the observed existence OF
snakes in this vicinity
However, snakes or no snakes, the lot
is going to be cleared of the debris.

1t appears that the gamut of available
candidates for the District commissioner

candidates were. named today for the
positions to be vacated by Mr. West
and Mr.. Mcfarland. There is no abate-
ment in the interest that centers about

dorse and recommend to President Taft
our capable citizen, A. E. l.. Leckie, for
one of the commissionerships, believing
his appointment will reflect credit upon
the administration and give universal sat-

as to whether the central democratic
committee of the District will formally
indorse candidate for one of the places.
The name of William V. Cox, president of
the Second National Bank, and former
president of the Board of Trade, is ia
bly, mentioned in local democratic
circles.
