The method hai been cleared with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the National Audubon society and the U.S. Dept.

of the Interior. Mr. Williams rays he hopes to begin placing the rods on Wednesday and have them all located by the end of the week. The starlings rest each night on wires and ledges of the Per shing building and down both sides ol Main street, creating i health and nuisance hazard. Mr.
