500 MILE RAT WALL
ABOUT CITY GIVEN UP
Not Enough Concrete to Build
1t, Says Copeland.

The Department of Health has aban-
doned Its idea of compelling owners Of
property within 600 feet Of the city's
water front to build concrete walls to
all Easements as a means of keeping
out of the city plague carrying rats
brought In by ships. The change of at
titude became. known yesterday when
DR.. Royal S. Copeland, Commissioner Of
Health. appeared before the Board of
Standards and Appeals at public hear
ing on the proposed amendment to the
building code and offered a substitute
and milder amendment
DR.. Copeland said he had concluded
there is not enough of concrete avail
able for the project and the expense of
building what would amount virtually
to a wall along the city's five hundred
miles of water front would be too great
a burden on the property owners. Both
the Department of Health and the Board
of Standards and Appeals had received
protests against the original proposal.
DIR. Copeland's substitute provides for
ratproofing regulations only for new
construction and will not affect present
buildings. The use of screen wire Is
made imperative. but the use of i'm
pervious material other than concrete Is
left optional with the builder.
DR.. Copeland said he thought the pres
ent sanitary code can be made to pro-
vide sufficient protection against rats In
the present buildings.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
ADVERTISEMENTS
The National Thrift Movement


body, but especially for the
employer.
l am trying to get you to join in
the National Thrift Movement if
for no other reason tn an to bring
a period of prosperity and peace
to industry. There is also moral
and humane side to it, which / will
not touch upon now.
I hope some of the many people
who have spent their lives in chari-
table and philanthropic work will
come forward and show how if
we had campaigned hard enough
for Thrift a generation ago most
of our charitable and philanthropic
work would not have been needed
in this generation and how if we will
do so now many of our otherwise
future objects of charity will be-
come thrifty and useful citizens
also hope some one will come
forward and tell in convincing
way how much pleasanter and
easier it would be to campaign now
to put money in mems pockets,
money in their bank account and
securities in their strong boxes
rather than to 60 out on many
campaigns in the future and beg
scme thrifty citizen to take money
out of his pocket or his bank ac-
count to provide for those who
have become charity objects
through lack of thrift.
In this letter I will stick strictly
to the selfish reasons why the
Thrift and Investment Movement
should have your support. We
all want better business conditions.
In fact, we must have better busi-
ness conditions. AS pure matter
of selfishness entirely aside from
the cruelty of it we can't allow
hundreds Of thousands of men to
remain out of employment.
In a long business career in the
latter period of which and for more
than quarter of a century last past
have had to take all or a greater
part of the responsibility of the en-
terprises I have led my associates
into, have never told them just the
rosy side but have made them rec
ognize first the difficulties which had
to be overcome. I have learned not
to take aboard faint hearted part
ners.
Now, don't let us fool ourselves
as to what the present situation is
which confronts this country.
Hundreds of thousands of men
ere out of employment, and the
number is still growing.
Import and export business is
almost at a standstill.
There was never such need for
vast financing and never suchseem-
ing handicaps to its accomplish
ment
We are still in the period of re-
adjustment and the cost of many
things must be brought down before
industry can fully resume on nor
nal basis.
Many merchants, jobbers and
manufacturers are over-stocked.
We are working under Federal
Revenue Law which is an effective
barrier to many special building and
business activities that might be
undertaken and which law offers
serious obstacles to most of the
everyday fundamental needs of
business.
And last, but not least, many of
our aggressive business men have
been crinped by losses of capital
and their vitality and determination
sapped by worry.
