N. J. Mosquito Extermination Association 



on the salt marshes of New Jersey and other states would have 

 to be made the best of by the workers and soldiers, as the amount of 

 money necessary to drain all salt marsh from Long Island to 

 Florida was too great to allow the government to attempt it. 



This was a sad blow to our hopes of quickly freeing the best 

 part of South Jersey of the mosquito pest. We have but one hope 

 left and that is to have the Legislature at Trenton make the long 

 looked for appropriation for a state wide fight against the mosquito 

 and save the land for the farmers. 



A summary of plan No. 3, which contemplated the completion 

 of the drainage in practically the whole of the South Jersey marshes, 

 is given in the following two tables.
