[Signed] T. W. JACKSON, _Medical Inspector in Charge of Plague Suppression_. Specimen order issued to Sanitary Inspector assisting in Plague Suppression by Medical Inspector in charge. Sanitary Inspector, Bureau of Health: Please place the gang of workmen under your charge in the square bounded by Calles Velasquez, Moriones, Concha and Manila Bay which is infected with rat plague. Treat the houses and properties there in the same manner in which other plague-infected districts have been treated, viz.: by policing the houses and yards, vacating all basements of light-material houses in which human habitations are illegally present; removing (with the consent of the occupants) all unauthorized basement sleeping places, beds, platforms, etc., and other illegal structures, closing up the open ends of bamboo rafters or timbers of the house with tin or cement. Where the occupants resist this action sanitary orders should be issued in the usual manner and interference should be stopped until the order is served and complied with. There are a number of most insanitary and unsuitable shelters of bamboo, tin, etc., used for houses by a number of families in this square and it is desirable to tear down these huts if permission can be secured. If permission is refused orders should be issued on the usual form. [Signed] T. W. JACKSON, _In Charge of Plague Suppression_. [Illustration: VIEW OF HOUSE AT 447 CALLE CONSERVADOR, TONDO, WHERE INFECTED RATS WERE FOUND (MANILA PLAGUE CAMPAIGN)] Specimen order issued by the Medical Inspector in charge of Plague Suppression. STATION "C," TONDO, May 21, 1913. Redistribution of rat catchers and laborers engaged in antiplague work. Effective May 2, 1913. Sanitary Inspector Kennard and 20 rat catchers will move into Tondo District and trap and poison rats in the district bounded on the west by Manila Bay and on the east by Estero Reina. The work will be begun at the extreme north water boundary of this district and will proceed toward the south. Sanitary Inspector Brantigan with a similar number of rat catchers (20) will work within the same east and west boundaries and will begin trapping and poisoning at Calle Moriones, proceeding north. The poisoning and trapping is to be done in the most thorough manner possible, as this is a dangerously infected district and rat-plague must be controlled and terminated here. The laborers, 60 men, divided into 4 parties of 15 men each under Assistant Sanitary Inspectors Jesús, De la Rosa, Laxamana and Parás, will continue the cleaning operations now under way on both sides of C. Juan Luna south of C. Moriones (plague localities in the same neighborhood), and thoroughly disinfect.
