 Approved April 20, 1906. 



Amended act approved March 28, 1927. 



Of the various legal acts passed by the New Jersey Legislature rela- 

 tive to mosquito control the outstanding and active ones are Chapter 

 104, Laws of 1912 and Chapter 143, Laws of 1927. It appears that 

 the powers granted in these acts provide for the prosecution of practi- 

 cal mosquito control work by county units which are financed from 

 public funds and the activities of which are supervised by the New 

 Jersey State Agricultural Experiment Station. Furthermore, research 

 procedure and leadership are also provided. Experience indicates that 

 the provisions of these two acts leave little to be desired from the stand' 

 point of the efficient prosecution of mosquito control.
