REPORT OF THE STATE RECLAMATION BOARD 



At the beginning of the fiscal year 1934, the balance left of the State appro- 

 priation for mosquito control drainage work for unemployment relief amounted 

 to $4,478.98. As there was pressure on all sides for State departments and 

 boards to promote, wherever possible, relief work programs under the Federal 

 Civil Works Administration, and inasmuch as the State Reclamation Board had 

 already accomplished successful results in mosquito ditching under state relief 

 appropriations, a general state project covering the salt marsh areas was pre- 

 sented by the Board, and was immediately approved by the State Civil Works 

 Administration. Two additional projects were approved a little later, and 

 finally there was delegated to the State Reclamation Board the supervision in 

 Massachusetts of a federal pest mosquito project under the Bureau of Ento- 

 mology, U. S. Department of Agriculture.
