 Readville, Mass. 



Dear Sir: 



llr. William L. ?/. Field, Chairman of the Mosquito Committee, 

 has asked mo to take charce of collecting a balance of M30 needed 

 to complete tho work undertaken by this Town Committee* The situa- 

 tion in brief is as follows: 



The Metropolitan Park Hoard has ditched and drained their 

 own salt marshes. The city officials of Q,uincy have given assurances 

 that when they receive word from Hilton, they will take up the ques- 

 tion of their own marshes. Only a small area is left to the Town of 

 Milton, which can be done for **975, of which the Committee now has 

 3845. i^ore than half of this has been donated by Kilton residents 

 of the Hilton Hill Jistrict. Ihe Brush Hill - Blue Hill District 

 has a vital interest in this matter, as the Committee each year has 

 collected salt marsh mosquitoes in the south-westerly end of the 

 Township. 



5*or two reasons this matter has been kept from the Warrant 

 Committee and the asking of an appropriation from the Town. 



1. It is thought we have too many town committees and that 

 instead of this Corarai ttee holding over or another being appointed, this 

 small amount night be raised privately and the Committee discharged. 



2, The half that we already have will revert to the Town 

 unless we can complete the fund and the work prior to the "arch meet- 

 ing. 



Will you kindly send pp; William L. w". Field, Canton Ave., 

 Hilton, '10, to complete this work? 



Yours truly,
