FIVE CENTS EACH
FOR DEAD RATS

Because Of the increasing number
OF rats In the village. the council OF
Highland Park has authorized Roy
al Ford. village clerk, TO pay 1--WE
cents for every rat brought in, dead
or alive. The council passed a reso-

payment.
The measure was passed through

that a number of the diseases prev.
alent In the village, are due to the
inssnitary conditions in some places
where rats and mice are numerous.
