Officials Study
Aid Of Wardens
In Drive on Rats
Proposal Has Merit,
Cary Soys;; $50 Bitten
Here Since Jan. I

The use of afraid wardens and
other civilian defense workers in
the drive to rid the city of rats was
being considered today by District
officials as it was revealed that ap-
proximately $50 persons here have
been bitten by rats since January /.
Maj. william Cary, jr., acting di-
rector of the Bureau of Sanitation,
said he believed the plan had def
mite merit. A comprehensive block
to-block survey of the city could be
undertaken by the wardens, who are
|already familiar with their areas,
Maj. Cary pointed out.
Aid in Cleanup Drive.
THAT would help us out a great
deal, since we would know just what
sections and houses need attention. -
he declared. The wardens also could
aid in a cleanup campaign of alleys
and yards, Maj. Cary said.
Rats breed on garbage and filth"
he said. IF the AFRAID wardens
can impress on their neighbors the
necessity of cleanliness it will help
Ia lot"
The large number of rat biting
cases was reported by Paul Peters,
rodent control inspector, who said
that as many as Is cases week have
been referred to him.
Adults, Children Victims.
Adults as well as children are VIC
tins OF the rats, Mr.. Peters pointed
out. In one home three individuals
were bitten within two days, he said.
Although no typhus cases have
developed, IA cases of the pernicious
Wells disease, resulting from rat
bites, have been reported. The dis
ease affects the intestine.
In one instance a child was bitten
by a rat when she stopped to pet
1t, thinking it was a cat.
That shows how large some of
the rats are" commented Mr.. Peters
