VENTNOR ENLISTS FOR WAR ON MOSQUITOES 



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 Ventnor City Board of Trade 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 a state-wide 

 proposition, 



Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Ventnor City Board of Trade ap- 

 proves the adoption of the slogan "The Mosquito Must Go" and 



Be It Further Resolved, That the Ventnor City Board of Trade invites 

 all municipal governments, chambers of commerce, trade and civic organiza- 

 tions, of progressive citizens in New Jersey to unite their forces with the 

 object that New Jersey shall, without further delay, 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 mos- 

 quito extermination, one of the important big movements to be accomplished. 



By the Ventnor City Board of Trade at a regular meeting held April 

 30, 1918.

 Acting Secretary. 



WILDWOOD BOARD OF TRADE TAKES ACTION 



That, Whereas the Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce has inaugurated 

 a campaign for the extermination of mosquitoes in the State of New Jersey, 

 and 



Whereas, it is the purpose of said campaign that the citizens of the 

 whole state insist upon the elimination being aided largely by the state govern- 

 ment, 



Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Board of Trade of Wildwood go on 

 record as being heartily in accord with the said campaign, and willing to lend 

 its energies in every way possible to the ultimate obtaining of the extermina- 

 tion of the mosquito in the State of New Jersey. 



By the Board of Trade of Wildwood, New Jersey.

ANOTHER BOOST FOR WAR UPON MOSQUITOES 



Doing Fine Work, Says Garfield Board of Trade, and We'll Help 



Chamber of Commerce : 



Atlantic City, N. J. 



Gentlemen : 



The work being done by your Chamber of Commerce towards mosquito 

 extermination is wonderful and commendable. I have kept in touch with it 

 through your bulletins and otherwise. Bergen and Passaic counties are 

 taking a deep interest in the movement and the future, towards extermination, 

 looks brighter each year. Keep up the good work and may your efforts win 

 success. 



Yours very sincerelv, 

 MILES C. WHITEHEAD.
