City Pays 20 Million
To Keep Its Rats Fit

If the tabled Pied Piper Of Ham
elm town had footed his flute for
DetroifS SIS 900 rats last year. the
economic result would have been
a saving of over 20 million dollars.
That's the story the board OF
education, through Marion Edman
supervising instructor IN the de-
partment Of language education, is
telling.
In a report on rat control, re-
leased today. II was estimated that
rats ate 1873 900 worth of food
last year Property destruction by
rodents, II was said. amounted to
10 times the eating cost. That's
how they arrived at the 20 million
figure
In other words, says the Edman
report. about 1900 persons IN De-
troit are working each year "a
keep our rat population well and
happy.
So FOOD BILL
The average rat eats So worth
Of food year. That means that,
had the money which could be used
for useful items, been spent in
other ways. 10 would have;
Bought four books, at a cost of
s. each for every child in the
Detroit schools
Paid $50 school ch ers'
salaries.
Built seven new schools for De-
troit, housing a thousand pupils
each.
Constructed houses for 400 FAINT
lies.
Or purchased 5,S11 sub.machine
guns for the marine corps.
This condition exists, il was
pointed out. despite a city ordi-
nance requiring erection of rat
proof walls in new buildings 70
prevent their nesting, proper gar
bsge receptacleS, litter control
alley cleanliness. etc. are features
OF another ordinance which has
been proposed.
