ri Of gaining recognition from

were fifteen members present. 1t was
at this meeting that it was decided to
vote for Matthew j.. Cahill for chair

The fifth ward members of the
county feel that they have not been
getting what belongs to them and
have formed this organization to fur

this end of the island. They point
out that they have been deprived of
h alderman from this end of the
island and in that and other ways
have no representative in the borough
or county government which this end
of the island should have. The first
turn of the tide was on Monday when

DOOMED EXPERT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 49, The
Stars and Stripes" the newspaper
published for the American Expedi-
tionary Forces in France, recently
printed the following regarding the
work OF former members of the sci
entihc staff of the Biological Survey,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture:
las o may have heard five or
eleven times already, this is a scien-
ti1c war. Whenever an or
an actual n to the army is dis
covered, scientific steps are taken to
annihilate the pest.
Even the cootie is doomed. It is
said that the research work is In
charge of an officer to be designated
as a Cootenant. But this . story is
about rates.
The rat, 1guratively, is about to
be trapped. A year or so ago there
was a mana member of the Bio
logical Survey-who had great suc-
cess in DISCRIMINATING the prairie dogs
out In Kansas and Colorado. When
America came into the war, some
body in the War Department sug-
gested that maybe this scientific ex-
terminator of prairie dogs was so
good at that job he might be able to
solve the rat problem in the trenches.
So they ordered him over here to
give the rats a critical and micro
'scopic look.
HE anne over and went up front
and studied the rodent. He studied
1t by and large, hither and yon, here
and there. and through and through.
He found out what il liked for supper,
and its ~favorite flower and How II
Cared for Its Young And he doped
out a way to lessen its ravages II not
actually to exterminate 1t.
He found out, too, that not all the

part of II is at the base ports, where

clothing waiting to go to the front.
Often the rats go right along with the
food and clothing.
The rat specialist made his report
and recommended that some men be
sent TO assist him. IL is said that his
request has been granted and that a
successful barrage against the rat al
ready has been laid down."

By Special Correspondent
IOrTENVILLE, Sept 1S:-Resi-
dents of Staten Island who have
suffered from the garbage reduction
plant nuisance are to be afforded ar
opportunity to tell of their sufrerings
70 the health authorities of the city
OF New York, at the Borough Hall.
this Saturday. This privilege is one
or the results accomplished by the
Hichmond county grand jury which
nas continued its session since last
June In order to be ready to take any
possible action which might bring re-
ilef to Richmond borough from this
infection.
This grand jury, which must be dis
solved on or before the first Monday
In October, has been at work all sum-
mer seeking first the closing of the
plant or its operation by the u. s.
authorities or by the city. With Dis
tr1ct Attorney Albert c. Each, men,
pers OF the grand jury have had sew
eral interviews with Mayor Hylan and
other city officials and have paid two
visits to Washington.
District Attorney Each paid q final
visit to Washington. last week., and a
small committee of grand Jurors had
another interview with Mayor Nv
Ian. Reports were made at a session
OF the grand jury at the Borough
Han, Wednesday evening.
While no details are available II
has been learned hat the authorities
at Washington have finally decided
that they have no power to take over
ana operate the plant as a war ne
cessity, for the a that there is no
exlsting statute under which such ac-
ton can be taken and no fund for the
purpose is available. The situation IS
further complicated by the fact that
the plant Is now in the hands of a re-
ceiver and Is being operated under
n direction Of the United States Su-
preme Court.
Mayor Hylan. in all of the confer
ences, has shown a strong desire to
give Staten Island relief and the
whole situation has been gone over
with Street Cleaning Commissioned

1t is understood that there has haen
noe consideration a plan to reopen
the garbage reduction plant at Barren
