City Dollars
for EarWig!
EDITORIAL

CHTY COUNCIL, apparently, is prepared to repeat
~ its disastrous mistake of last year in failing to
appropriate funds for earwig batting.
Two years ago the city and county each appro-
priated $500 and the $4,000 effectively used in
keeping down the pests that were killing off much
of Seattle's vegetation and crawling thru Seattles
homes.
Last year the county commissioners appropriated
$500 for a continuation of the fight The city
Gil failed to meet tand public batting was done.
The result has been that Seattle this summer Is
over-run with earwigs. Not only has the $4,000
spent in 1924 been wasted, but the earwigs
than ever.
Thousands of Seattleites have baited their prop
critics this year, only to find that breeding armies of
the pests have OVERLOADED the neghborhood, after
the poison has disappeared from some vacant lot,
the owner of which not sufficiently interested
to bait.
If the earwig pest is to be driven from Seattle,
city officials must lead the way.
An appropriation must be included in the budget,
to join with funds already offered by the county for
the batting Of vacant lots and other such property
so that the work done by home owners will not be
undone
Payment for the work, where public batting is
necessary should be assessed against the property
owners
