wish to thank you very sincerely for the courtesy you have shown 

 to Mr. Gould and to myself. 



Dr. Headl,ee; — The gentleman from Toledo has omitted a 

 most interesting point which I think the Association would be 

 glad to hear. It seems in a section of Toledo there is a large 

 sewer some eight feet in diameter which is only partially filled 

 by a swiftly running stream. This sewer penetrates the best 

 residential section of the city, and this water comes from the 

 houses and passes from, the city toward the swamps. This 

 residential district has been very seriously troubled by sylvestris. 

 These gentlemen believe that sylvestris bred in the fresh- water 

 swamps and made their way through the overhead portion of 

 the sewer. There is constantly a breeze passing through the 

 sewer upstream and the theory is th^t the sylvestris are drawn 

 by this breeze through the sewer and released in the sewer 

 catch basins in this residential portion of the city. This is a 

 condition of which our work shows no parallel. 



The meeting then adjourned until Friday morning, February 

 1 8th,. 1916, at 9:30 A. M. 



THIRD SESSION. 



Friday Morning, February 18th, 19 16. 



Meeting called to order by President Ralph H. Hunt, M.D., 

 at 9 .-30 A. M. 



The: President — First thing on the program of the business 

 session is reports of officers. We have the report of the Secre- 

 tary-Treasurer, Dr. Headlee. 



Dr. Headi^ee — Mr. Chairman and gentlemen: The principal 

 duty of the Secretary during the past year has been the carrying 

 on of a small amount of correspondence with the membership 

 and the editing of the annual report. He regrets to report to 

 the Association that, owing to- pressure of other duties in con- 

 nection with his regular work, it was not possible for him to get 

 the report out with the promptness that he would have liked.
