Proceedings of Sixth Annual Meeting 



31 



As an inland county, we are surrounded by others that have large 

 areas of salt marsh that produce numerous broods of Aedes can- 

 tator, which they seem willing to share with us. This unselfishness 

 we do not appreciate. It may be assumed that inland counties 

 are not likely to continue to provide funds for the prevention of 

 local breeding and have the results of that work destroyed by the 

 failure of other counties to prevent, at their source, the migration 

 of salt marsh mosquitoes. 



Plans for Future Work 



In making plans for future mosquito control work, it is neces- 

 sary to review the past so that the mistakes which made failure a 

 possibility may be avoided. 



We have been given an appropriation of sixteen thousand dollars 

 for the work of 1919. 



The plan and method to be followed will be similar to those used 

 in the past which have given the best results and will necessarily 

 be of temporary character. 



President Engle : You have heard that very interesting paper. 

 Has any one any questions to ask ? 



Dr. Williams : I am a member of the Commission from Bergen 

 County, from which most of the mosquitoes go over to Passaic. 

 Bergen County cannot help, under certain conditions, the mosquitoes 

 that go over into Passaic County. 



In 1917, Bergen County was successful in keeping down mos- 

 quitoes in a way that they had never been able to before. In 1918 

 we were not able to. We did not have the personnel, we did not 

 have the money. We did everything that we could and we suffered, 

 and Passaic suffered also. 



President Engle: Any further questions? If not, we will hear 

 from Morris County, Mr. C. Franklin Wilson, Treasurer of that 

 Commission. 



Morris County 



BY C. FRANKLIN WILSON, COMMISSIONER 



Mr. President, you are not going to have any paper from Morris 

 County because, as most of you know, we are the baby member of 

 this association, and we have not even started. We have all the
