120 MALARIA 



adult stage, the presence of Culicines, except in large 

 numbers, was not considered as a matter requiring 

 unusual efforts to exterminate them. 



The good results of the campaign were many and 

 may be summarized as follows : — 



i. A further reduction of malaria almost to the 

 point of actual elimination. 



2. The appointment of an able and efficient Board 

 of Health, which has the confidence of the people, and 

 does its duty. 



3. The passage of ordinances against mosquitoes 

 and house flies, which in the hands of the present 

 Board of Health will bring results. 



4. The improvement of garbage removal and dis- 

 posal. 



5. An increased knowledge of sanitation on the 

 part of the citizens, and a strong sentiment on their 

 part for the further extension of public health measures 

 in their city, together with a general improvement of 

 the sanitary condition of the city made by each citizen 

 taking proper care of his own premises. 



6. A demand for the continuance of the campaign in 

 1912. 



The campaign cost about #1500 for eight months, 

 of which about #600 was supplied by the city govern- 

 ment and about #300 by the Anti-mosquito League 

 through subscription ; the remainder was spent by 

 different individuals and companies for corrections and 

 improvements.
