The Mosquito Must Go 2? 



The Plan to Rid New Jersey of its Salt-Marsh Mosquitoes in 5 

 Years Has Been Endorsed By: 



Chambers of commerce and boards of trade, Senator Edge, 

 the State Board of Agriculture, the State Experiment Station, 

 the Department of Conservation and Development, civic associa- 

 tions, the New Jersey Mosquito Extermination Association, med- 

 ical societies, representative business and professional men, man- 

 ufacturers and hotel owners. 



A DECLARATION OF EXTERMINATION 



Adopted by the Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce and submitted to the 

 municipal bodies, the county boards, the civic bodies and the fraternal 

 organizations of New Jersey for approval to the end that this state may 

 be freed of a pest retarding its growth. 



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 de- 

 velopment 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 Chamber of Commerce is convinced that 

 the time has come for citizens of New Jersey to insist, through its state 

 government, that the elimination of the mosquito is not only a county, but also 

 a state-wide proposition, 



Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce 

 proposes to New Jersey the adoption of this slogan — "THE MOSQUITO 

 MUST GO"— and 



Therefore Be It Resolved, that the Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce 

 invites all municipal governments, chambers of commerce, trade and civic 

 organizations of progressive citizens in New Jersey, without further delay, 

 to enter upon an active and aggressive state-wide campaign to make this 

 great commonwealth a mosquitoless state in the shortest possible time; and 

 that they adopt at once a similar resolution and put themselves squarely on 

 record as backing up mosquito extermination, ont of the important big 

 movements to be accomplished.

MEDICAL SOCIETY OF ATLANTIC COUNTY IS COMMITTED 



TO CAUSE 



Whereas, The Atlantic County Medical Society is fully convinced of the 

 benefit accruing to this city and county in the extermination of the mosquito 

 pest, both from a health and commercial standpoint, and, 



Whereas, We understand that five and one-half million feet of ditches 

 have already been dug on the marshes around and adjacent to Atlantic City 

 and that we have observed already a considerable reduction in the prevalence 

 of mosquitoes by reason of this work, therefore, be it
