Zoo Costs Rise Across Nation Directors Warn Of Prices
Washington Zoo director Theodore Reed testified before the House Appropriations Committee on escalating animal prices. He cited giraffes doubling since 1956 and leopards rising from 250 to 400, plus rare pythons costing 10 dollars a foot and other species climbing in price due to dwindling wild populations. He highlighted gorilla births and rhino losses, and urged support for a medical investigational unit to study snake diseases and parasites.

Fire damages two story dwelling on Wahconah Street
Firefighters from Morningside and Peck's Road stations fought a two story wooden dwelling fire at 223 225 Wahconah Street early Saturday. Fire officials blamed sparks from wood burning in the kitchen for soot at the chimney base and scorched wainscoting near the stove. The home, owned by Mary Woitkowski, was heavily smoked with the other half occupied by Florian Radgowski.
