1 have your 1 ecting an aggressive state-wide campaign in New 



Jersey to exterminate the mosquito, and our State Board of Agriculture would

 at that time I believe it will want to adopt a strong resolution in line with 

 your suggestion. 



Very truly yours,

EX-PROSECUTOR MOORE 



Mr. Samuel P. Leeds, President, 



Chamber of Commerce. 

 Dear Sir : 



I overlooked sending you a letter approving the continuation of the

PUBLICITY BUREAU APPROVES MOVEMENT IN THIS 

 RESOLUTION 



Whereas, The mosquito, an enemy of comfort and a menace to public 

 health in many communities, is declared by experts in whom this body has 

 confidence to be retarding the commercial, industrial and agricultural develop- 

 ment, not only of the coast counties of New Jersey, but of other large areas 

 of the state, and 



Whereas, It has been demonstrated by the experience of Atlantic County 

 that this pest can be controlled and ultimately eradicated through methods of 

 systematic extermination upon lines approved by the New Jersey Mosquito 

 Extermination Association, and 



Whereas, The Atlantic City Publicity Bureau is convinced that the time 

 has come for citizens of New Jersey to insist, through their state government, 

 that the elimination of the mosquito is not only a county, but also a state-wide 

 proposition,
