Rat Control Work Starts Analysis
Shows TYphus Infection In This Area

here only a short time and will
take about six months to COM
plete for a city of this size. M
Plemons said. Already two blocks
of the business district have been
eost-estimated for rat stoppage.
Actual construction for rat proof
ing of buildings has not yet
started.
Under terms of the ordinance
setting up the control program in
expensive rat proofing of private
and public buildings are provided
for. with the cost of the material
only charged back to the owner
of the building when the work is
completed. In this way the $4,000
city fund is continually rebuilt.
Mayor John R. Watts also EN-
phasized the importance of the
work in a statement issued this
week.
I'VE have had several cases of
typhus fever in this area" he
said, land indications are that
there is a high infection of rats
also. The rat control work will
largely remedy the situation BY
doing away with conditions in
which the rats live and breed.
Statistics show that damage
done by rats is far greater in cost
than the rat ~proofing necessary
in eliminating them. Therefore
this work, in addition to eli
minating a very dangerous situa-
ton in this area. will actually in
the long run save money for
property owners
