Rodent Control Drive
Increasing Cooperation
is Given BY Public; ]
Bounty Plan Criticized

Evidence OF increasing public co
| operation in the fight on rats was
seen by District officials as more
than 300 residents applied at roden,
control headquarters during the
past week for red squill rat poison
Most persons appearing at head
quarters in the Polk School. Sew
enth and p streets NV. carried
home bags full of the poison to pre-
sent to neighbors for use In back
yards and alleys surrounding their
homes.
The poison, which kills rats al
most instantly, was described as
having no ill effect on dogs or cats
It is used most effectively when
mixed with oatmeal, corn meal
bread crumbs or hamburger and
placed in alleys, yards and other
places where rats have runs.
Before the current drive started
an average of 25 to so requests q
week were received for the poison
During the last three weeks more
than 800 requests have been filed.
Proposals that the District sponsor
a bounty plan to kill rats, whereby
citizens would be paid specified
sum for each rat they kill, have met
with a cool reception. from santa
ton officials.
Maj. William Cary, jr., acting sani-
tation director, said the danger that
citizens would become infected from
disease-carrying rats is too great
He said his department soon would
submit plan which will call for the
cooperation of civic groups with his
department in systematic cam
paign to make the city rat-free.
