204 N. J. Agricultural Experiment Station, Bulletin 348 



At a meeting of the Conference Committee on Mosquito Extermi- 

 nation, held on May 19, 1904, the Legislative Committee reported 

 that the anti-mosquito clause had been passed by the Legislature, 

 and was now a law and a part of the General Health Act. 



The following gentlemen composed the original Conference Com- 

 mittee on Mosquito Extermination: 



New Brunswick, Dr. John B. Smith. 



Orange, Herbert Richards ; Wil-liam Schleuer. 



Harrison, John Malone; John J. Scanlon. 



Summit, T. J. Scott. 



Springfield, J. L. Denman ; Dr. Stiles. 



Bloomfield, Seymour P. Gilbert. 



Newark, Dr. F. W. Becker; D. D. Chandler. 



Arlington, John B. Thompson. 



South Orange, Spencer Miller, C. E. 



Irvington, J. K. Clickenger ; Hugh Winkler. 



Montclair, Horatio F. Parker. 



East Orange, E. M. Brewster; Dr. T. N. Gray. 



Belleville, Dr. John F. Condon. 



Vailsburg, Dr. P. R. Davenport. 



West Orange, Mr. Grady. 



Glen Ridge, John A. Brown ; John B. Smith. 



Plainfield, L. R. Thurlow. 



Kearny, John B. Thompson. 



Elizabeth, Louis J. Richards. 



On October 8, 1905, Dr. T. N. Gray took the presidency, succeed- 

 ing Dr. Becker. 



In 1910, the name of the association was changed to the North 

 Jersey Mosquito Extermination League. Dr. N. Elliot was secre- 

 tary, but his minutes have been lost. He resigned on May 20, 191 2, 

 Louis J. Richards taking his place. 



Anti-Mosquito Work of the North Shore Improvement Association of Long 



Island 



This association with offices at 49 Wall Street, New York City, 

 published on October i, 1902, an account of anti-mosquito work done 

 in the association's territory by Frank E. Lutz and William W. Cham- 

 bers, in which it was shown that a vast amount of interest had been 

 stimulated and that the mosquito problem in that section of Long 

 Island had received a pretty thorough investigation. The work of 

 this association appears to have lagged as the years went by until 

 1 91 4, when a bill was enacted by the Legislature of the State of 

 New York creating the Nassau County Mosquito Extermination 

 Commission.
