with the disappearance OF small
poX, Bristol is now faced with an
other epidemic, this time in the form
of the English starting, the member
OF the feat hercd tribe which caused
so much annoyance to residents in
various sections of the city last year.
in spite of the harsh treatment ae-
corded the birds last summer by the
fire and health departments, they
have returned again in nocks of
thousands and during the past few
days have admirably succeeded in
making Il nuisance of themselves.
As was the case last year. Il large
number of the birds have selected
the large maple trees in front OF
the residence of superintendent of
i'uhllc Works Oscar Anderson Oh
Church avenue. Iorestyille, for their
nightly habitat, much TO the clagrin
of Mr.. Anderson and pedestrians
who have occasion to pass the spot
in question. l.aSt wear Mr. Anderson
placed a large COW bell in the trees,
attaching a cord which reached to
the ground underneath the tree. This
year. however. a larger bell has been
placed high up in one of the trees
and the cord heightened so that the
bell may be rung from the porch
at the front of the Anderson resi-
dence. shortly before dusk last eve
ming, after the birds had settled for
the night the bell was toIlcd by Mr.
several thousand birds took wing
This performance will be continued
until some other polpt is selected for
their nightly abode.
Last year the Summer and West
street sections of the city were in
tested With there birds and the fir.
department was called upon on sew
eral occasions to spray the trees
with water. This remedy proved
highly successful and similar meth
DDS will be rcsorted to this year il
necessary.
