TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1921. CAMPAIGN AGAINST RATS.
The fact that there is plague in Queensland* and that rats and plague are ever associated, is causing some anxiefty in the Dominion. At the Pukekohe Borough Council meeting last evening a letter from the Health Department urged a municipal, campaign against rats, and urged that householders be warned to barn all food scraps, etc., about their homes, it was also suggested that all drains should be (trapped and everything done to rid the district of this very undesirable pest. The thought of the dread plague should be sufficient to arouse everyone to set about destroying rats, and every Town Board •and Borough in the country should carry out the advice /tendered by the Health Department, and not rest until this disease-carrier has become extinct in their areas.
“We nothing extenuate, nor aught set down in malice.”
