In only one manhole was a complete take of 16 oz. of
poisoned bait recorded.
From the statistics obtained during the two treatments carried
out this year, it does appear advisble to inspect the record of
poison bait takes, and thus ensure the best results from the sewer
treatments.
As in past years, the Public Health Department and the
Borough Engineer's Department co-operated in carrying out the
sewer treatments.
