Nickel Bounty on
Rats Provided by
Bremerton Mayor
BREMERTON, Feb. 24
Rats, said Mayor Jesse Knabb,
"are almost ea-Jng things up"
in Bremerton.
So the city executive, who has
been unorthodox before, announ
ced today he would do a pied
piper stunts, but not with music,
instead he declared he personal
ly would pay five cents for every
dead rat brought to his office
by Bremerton citizens.
It promised to attract as much
attention as the time Knabb
lumped Into Puget Sound to ful
fill a campaign pled -e, or the
time he challenged a critic to a
public boxing bout.
"I'm going to have a cleaver
in my office and 1 11 chop the
tail off every rat brought in,"
he announced. "That's because
I don't want to have to pay
double. The five cents a head
offer is good until March 1.
By then I expect we'll have rid
the city of 6.000 rats."
