PLAGUE MENACE.

CITY PRECAUTIONS.

The first of a series of city manifestos designed to eduoate the people as to the importance of exterminating rats as the best precaution to bo taken to prevent the entry of plague is issued by the Mayor (Dr. Thacker) to-day, and appears on page 6. The manifesto oxplains in popular language the part the rat plays in spreading the disease, and contains also a series of injunctions and exhortations relating to refuse tins and rubbish accumulations. It is stated that uncovered tins allow the rats to procure food and nesting material, and make them less lilcoly to take the poisoned bait spread where required ior their consumption and destruction. vVarnings are issued that prosocutions will follow in all casea where tins are found to bo uncovered, or where ruboish or garbage are allowed to accumulate, and so become a danger and a nuisance. To assist the householder in conforming to the regulations, the City Council will supply at cost price and deliver free standard bins or extra covers, and will moreover for the first fortnight in January remove free from any city premises any accumulation of rubbish, application in all cases to bo made to the Central Yard, 'phone 1304.
