Panama Methods Experimental With
In New Orleans.
Conversion of insanitary districts into
healthful ones and the proofing of the
entire city against rats is contemplated
in the plans made by the health au-
nently stamping out the causes of bu-
bonic plague The methods proposed
are similar in certain respects to those
followed by the federal government at
the Panama canal, while their execu-
ton is as much an engineering prob
lem as it is n medical one. Popular Me
chanics Magazine in an illustrated arti-
Gle says:
"Ordinances designed to handle the
situation provide that all buildings
which rest upon the ground shall have
concrete floors and every structure
shall be proofeG against rats. Other
ordinances abolish henhouses within
the city limits. excepting when they
are thoroughly rat proofed; make strin-
gent rulings concerning the disposal of
garbage and subjects shipping in the
harhor to binding regulations intended
to prevent rats from landing from
boats locked at the wharyes. 1t is
planned that ships shall lie eight feet
from the wharves. have all ha wsers
| fitted with rat guards and have a
guard at the gangplanks whenever
they are lowered"
