MEAT BILL TOO BIG
Anderson Officials Want to Dispose
of Their Alligators.

ANDERSON. Ind. Aug. Il. - Two
small alligatOrs each about three feet
long. but nearly % years old, are
CAUSING the city water department
some concern because Of their meat
bill, although the cost has averaged
not more than $50 a year. The last
bill just presented for meat was $50,
and because that bill was for only one
feed. City Clerk Collins and City Con-
troller Richter were astonished. It
was explained, however, that the alli-
gators had tasted since october last.
1t is regarded doubtful whether the
aligatOrs will again manifest hunger
until next spring but the records show
that perfectly good meat for the two
alliagtors has cost the city about $500
and doubt arises in the minds of the
city officials as TO whether the alli-
gators are worth the meat bill.
There was some talk of liberating
the alligators into White river, but the
aligators have friends, especially
among small boys and girls, and the
alligators will probably continue their
abode i'm a pool at the water works
station and get their regular SIS al
lotment of fresh meat once or twice q
year.
