The first organized effort toward establishing a "rat day" for the extermination of rodents in this city will be attempted soon in city council by Councilmen Wessel and Thatcher. It Is believed that this movement will take well with the citizens of Richmond, as rats are known to be more formidable foes to health than flies and other disease carrying insects. "I believe that rats are more dangerous to the community than any other peBt we have to contend with," said J. E. Thatcher, councilman-at-large. "Physicians have told me that while rats are not at all times germ carriers, when they are infected with a disease the rodents are much more dangerous than any one imagines. Movement a Good One. "I believe that the citizens should follow the example of the residents of other cities and set aside a day on which everyone should endeavor to rid their homes and barns of rats and mice. The plan has been tried and it has been found that, with a systematic method of work, the number of rats and mice can be reduced considerably in one day. "If the plan of introducing a 'rat day' to the citizens of Richmond works out ae it should, a committee from council will write to other cities which have a 'rat day and learn the methods used towards the extermination of rats and mice." Councilman Harry Wessel, another advocate of the inauguration of "rat flay," declared that he will do all he Is able to create interest in the proproposed movement. "The rats are not only germ carriers but are thieveB as well," he said. "During the past summer I have entirely rid my .neighborhood of rats and my house of mice, thereby saving much destruction of property and loss of horse feed. Rats killed some of my poultry during the winter." Physicians also declare for the movement against rats and mice and a member of the Wayne County Society for the Prevention and Cure of Tuberculosis stated that among rats, there is a form of animal tuberculosis prevalent which, if transfused to the human system, causes dangerous results. Horses and other animals may also be subject to the disease.

Dr. T. Henry Davis, health officer.

will assist in the movement, he stated this morning. "The rats are the carriers of deadly diseases," he stated. "These rodents were directly responsible for the famous Bubonic plague, which caused the loss of thousands of lives and presented an almost unparalelled problem to the medical association." Indiana Has Anti-Rat Law. At the 1913 session of the state legislature, Representative Ratt introduced a "rat" law, consisting of an appropriation to aid in the extermination of rats and to finance investigations for the best plans to rid the state of the pests. Sanitary Inspector George Young declares that there are only a few rats in the city and says that Richmond is particularly fortunate in this respect. However, Dairy Inspector Flook stated that there are a large number of rodents in Richmond and that some business blocks in the center of the city are known to be undermined with rat runways, extending for squares in length and containing colonies of thousands of rats, which increase rapidly. Grocers, feed salesmen, confectioners and restaurant keepers suffer mostly from them, the total loss from this source being estimated at many thousand dollars annually.
