Drafts of Ordinances
For Ratproofing of
Buildings Completed
Drafts of proposed new city
ordinances calling for rat proofing
of buildings have gone to Health
Officer George C. Ruhland, Maj.
William H. Cary, jr., acting director
of the Bureau of Sanitation of the
Health Department, said last night.
Health officials have been working
some time on revamping present
regulations dealing with rats. After
the new ordinances, which are based
on suggestions made by the United
States Public Health Service, have
been passed on'by Dr. Ruhland, they
will go to the Commissioners.
Officials hope to attain authority
to require new’ buildings to be rat
proof in construction and present
buildings to be altered sufficiently to
make them ratproof. Plans cover
homes, business and industrial
establishments.
If the city gains authority for the
program, funds will be required to
carry it out. It is proposed to set up
a revolving fund, with which the
city could ratproof buildings not
altered by private concerns, eith the
cost being assessed against the
owners.
Rodent-control workers are now
receiving an average of 250 com
plaints a week on rats, which is
considerably more than the present
eight-man crew can handle. The
crew is now' being used to work in
blocks or areas rather than at any
individual building.
A request has been made in the
1945 budget, now before the House
Appropriations Committee, for an
additional crew.
