 antimosquito measures, special bye-laws were enacted. 



In 1905 a bye-law for the cleansing of tanks without, however, 

 special reference to larvfje, was issued. 



In 1907 bye-laws relating to the screening of vats, etc., as a 

 preventive against mosquitos were promulgated under the title 

 "Mosquito Prevention Bye- Laws, 1907," as follows : 



BYE-LAWS RELATING TO THE SCREENING OF VATS, ETC., 

 AS A PREVENTIVE AGAINST MOSQUITOS 



1. These bye-laws may be cited as the Mos(iuito Prevention 

 Bye-Laws, 1907. 



2, All vats, tanks, or other vessels shall be screened with 

 mosquito-proof wire-netting or other suitable material so as to 

 prevent the entrance into or exit of mosquitos from such vats or 

 tanks or other vessels.
