Various discussions also took place relating to the charges made
to residents for the destruction of rats and mice on their premises.
The Public Health Committee decided to adhere to their previous
policy, i. e. to fix the charge at a sufficiently low level which would
not discourage residents from notifying the presence of rats and mice.
This is obviously a sound policy, and has led to more information
regarding infestation being received than would otherwise have been
the case. The charge for dealing with business premises infested
with rats and mice is made on a work and time basis.
