Snakes Alive!
Property owners in eastside Conrad will no doubt be curious as to the charge
for an "SID" appearing on their tax bill this year. This is a
Serpentine Industry District. Large reptiles such as those pictured here will
be housed and fed at taxpayer expense in order to supply snake oil for the
growing world market. While most businesses welcome this project, there will
always be a few naysayers who blame every missing pet or child on the SID.
