RAT PR0OFINC IS
NEARLY FINISHED
Ninety Per Gent of Business Houses
and Sixty Per Cent Of Resi-
dencss Completed.

That the city is cleaner and in bet
ter condition at the present time than
it has been in the past is evidenced
by the report of DIR. r. r. Spencer,
United States health officer in charge
OF the public health service in Pen
sacola.
A copy of the report follows:
The anti-plague headquarters of
the public health service desires to
report that the ratprooffng OF food
depots in Pensacola, is nearly finish,
ed. In fact, out Of the original Ala
groceries, restaurants, warehouses,
bakeries, etc., there are at the present
time only q that have not complied
with the city ordinance. This means
that over 80 per cent Of such struc-
lures have been completed. On the
other hand, only about so per cent of
residence property has been finished.
The public health service also desires
to call the attention of all citizens to
the fact that this is the critical time
of the year for the appearance of bu
bonic plague. II no ! plague occurs
within the next month or so, the city
will surely be safe from an, epidemic
for sometime. It has been more than
month since a plague rodent was
captured, and it is believed that there
cannot possibly more than one or two
infected animals at large.
Since the warm weather began, there
has been tremendous increase of
fleas in all sections of the city. Nj
merous parties have reported their
premises infected with them, and the
live rats which are brought by the
trappers to the laboratory have shown
as high as 100 fleas on each rat.
such increase among the fleas at
fords ideal conditions for the spread
of plague among rodents, and from
rodents to man. But. the fact that
there has been no rodent or human
plague is very good evidence that the
epidemic has been suppressed. How
ever. the danger is not over until sew,
eral months of such ideal conditions
for the propag cation Of plague have
passed, without the occurrence Of
plague.
THE public health service has not.
up to the present time, brought, to
court. property owners who have fall
ed to comply with the city ordinance.
in regard only to the. keeping of rub
Dish and trash on their premises.
I'm Justice to citizens who do, keep
clean premises. everyone is urgently
requested to assist in the campaign by
removing or elevating all rat-harbor-
ing material

women over the state who have been
harboring hard feelings toward Mr.. Tay-

he changes his mind he does not keep
that fact to himself.

afternoon for the unanimous consent of
the members of the house to withdraw
his motion to reconsider the vote by
which the house passed the Davis bill.
There was no objection. and the bill
will now be skidded over to the senate,
asking fer The endorsement of that body.
