FINED FOR FAILURE
TO CONNECT SEWER
East Side Citizens Explain
ed That Railroad Was
Responsible for 1t

|. Funt, a prominent citizen OF the
East Side, was before Mayor Bowen
this morning charged with neglecting
to make proper sanitary sewer CON
nectlOns on property in the Alta Vista
section. Mr.. Funt had ordered the
plumbing supplies by freight and
showed the mayor the order. He said
that the delay on the railroad was the
cause of the failure to make the sewer
connection. The pipes were ordered
almost three months ago,
After hearing the evidence in the
case Mayor Bowen imposed a fine OF
five dollars for neglect, which was
paid
Mr.. Funt is the first to be arrested
by Sanitary Officer Holden for permit
ting unsanitary conditions to prevail,
Heretofore the property owners OF the
city have responded exceptionally
well to call for better sanitary sewer
connections, but of late quite bit OF
negligence in certain parts Of the city
has been reported. In all such cases,
the violator will be brought before the
city authorities and fined

IS WORMS NAME
Davey Tree Expert Co,
Foreman Tells What Kills
Cedar Trees

Robert Hayhurst, who lives on
Plum Run in the edge of Taylor coun-
ty, reports that the Swing Worms,
as he calls them, have attacked two
cedar trees in his yard and so COM
pletely destroyed them that it was
necessary for them to be cut down.
The worms began operations in the
tops of the trees and gradually work
ed down until the trees were stripped
of their foliage and blighted from top
to bottom. Mr.. Hayhurst gave the
name Swing Worms" to the Crea-
lures because of their habit of sus-
pending themselves from the branch
es by means of slender threads re-
sembling the spiders silk,
This morning The West Virginian
received the following communication
from ]. Cooke White, of 500 CASTOR
avenue which tells Just what this
worm which destroys cedar trees is:
Last evening 1 read with great In
terest your description Of the turtle.
like caterpillar that destroyed the &C.
dar tree for Mr.. Vangilder Of Frost
burg. AS foreman with the Davey Tree
Expert company now working on es-
tates in your city have often had &C.
casion to fight the destructive insect
noticed by Mr.. Vangilder.
without doubt Mr.. Vantiilder's &C.
dar tree was destroyed by the Bag
worm or Basket worm, Thyridopteryx
ephemeraetormis.
Late in the fall the egg filled bas.
kets of the female moth may be seen
hanging from trees and shrubs. Some
of the baskets are empty having been
occupied by the male moths.
UNLESS these baskets are picked of
and destroyed the eggs will hatch dur
ing the following May into swarms OIL
tiny caterpillars. The caterpillars are
pretty we'll grown by the following Sep.
TENDER and carry their baskets with
them as they feed on the foliage. 1t
was in this stage Of their life cycle that
Mr.. vangilder noticed them at their
work.
IF noticed at this time the trees on
which they are working should be
sprayed with arsenate Of lead five
pounds to 50 gallons of water.
"These caterpillars are quite numer-
Gus in Fairmont and may be seen drag.
