T I i PLAGUE OF RATS UP T0 COUNCIL, Dump Piotured in The Bee Last Fall Again Breaks Into the Limelight. T0 TRY TO EXTERMINATE RATS A plague of rats threatens lho‘ veighbrohood surrounding an old dumping place near Thirty-first and Cuming streets.

One of | the city’s boulevards runs alongside of the dump. Commissioner Jardine brought the matter to the attention of the city council in a serious manner. He re- ferred to the various attempts by city cfficials to abate this nuisance. “Only yesterday I saw a load of gar- bage dumped at this place. Tt was real garbage, not réfuse,” stated Mr. Jardine. He belleves this is the most serious rat situation the city has had to meet and {he is anxious that the animals be killed where they are, rather than turned loose ‘ipon the city. Disgrace to City. ‘“This place is a disgrace to the eity and should be abated. I would urge vig- orous methods. You never saw so many vata fn your life. T have seen rats in my fime, but never saw so many in one place,” continued the commissioner. Commissioner Drexel suggested that cel but several commissioners wanted w what would become of the rats after thelr feeding and breeding grounds had been despolied. Would it be fair to the residents of that community to turn thousands of rats loose? was one of the questions the commissioners asked them- The diseass-apreading n‘-wn of rats was mentioned and that phase coneld- ] ‘Mm Because Kaiser Vetoes His To Exterminate Rodents. ‘commissioners were told that some rats already have infested homes nelghborhood and have become as rats do when In large num- was agreed that a rat-killing ordered.

The eessential difference between the house and senate billa lies in the pro- visions as to the regular army. The house measure proposes to add new organizations to the existing establish- ment to give a total peace strength of 150,000 fighting troops. The proportions of artillery and cavalry to the whole army would be changed to produce a well-balanced organisation.
