SPARROWS CAUSE DAMAGE.
Take Possession of Pump Station and
Must Be Screened Out.
Sparrows are costing Kansas City about $1,000 for wire screens. Whole colonies of them have taken charge of the upper works of the Turkey creek pumping station, working such havoc that the board of public works has had to advertise for plans and bids to keep the little pests out.
There are 150 great windows in the pump and boiler rooms and every one of these will have to be screened in with heavy half-inch mesh wire.
