Those reading papers under the heading of "Symposium" 

 will be allowed lo minutes. 



Those reading papers in the regular program will be allowed 

 a reasonable length of time not exceeding 20 minutes. 



If this rule is followed by those presenting papers there will 

 be no necessity for the presiding officer ringing the bell on any- 

 one. Previous experience has shown that much time has been 

 consumed by those reading papers and the discussors thereof, 

 and that when we reached the last session of the convention 

 some papers have been read by title and printed in full in the 

 transactions. Such a condition should not be allowed to exist, 

 for when a man prepares a paper he should certainly be allowed 

 to read it and have it discussed. 



In arranging this program all this has been figured out, and 

 if strictly followed each one will have ample time tO' present his 

 paper and allow' for a full and free discussion. In order that 

 there may be no delay I would try to impress upon you the fact 

 that all sessions should start promptly. Several meetings have 

 been held by the Executive Committee during the past year. At 

 one of our sessions, held in Trenton, we appeared before the 

 Budget Committee of the Legislature in order to try to prove to 

 them the necessity of an increased appropriation for the State Ex- 

 periment Station. Whether our efforts were successful or not 

 will be shown only by the action of the Legislature in miaking 

 their appropriations for the coming year. 



As far as we have been able to learn all of the counties doing 

 mosquito work have reported good results, and that the mos- 

 quito is gradually becoming a rarity. All of the counties have 

 not the same problems confronting themi, but a continuance of 

 the good work well and faithfully done by all engaged will pro- 

 duce what we are all longing for — a mosquitoless state. 



Mr. Engle has ,had the greatest difficulty in his part of the 

 state to make the people believe that the mosquitO' can be con- 

 trolled, but he said this morning that they were now becoming 

 converted. 



At a meeing held in the rooms of the Essex County Com- 

 mission the latter part of October there were present repre-
