be afforded protection if they are to do the work for which they 

 are intended. 



4. The only machinery by which this can be efficiently done is 

 a Publicity Organization or Bureau, and it is the duty of this com- 

 mittee to create such an organization. 



In accordance with these conclusions the problem of how such 

 an organization could be completed was attacked. After several 

 session concerned with the details of this problem, it was decided 

 that the best results were likely to follow the institution of an 

 educational organization under the auspices of the New Jersey 

 Mosquito Extermination Association to operate under the control 

 of a special commattee consisting of one member from each county 

 who should be appointed by the mosquito commission operating 

 within that county, the President of the New Jersey Mosquito Ex- 

 termination Association, the Entomologist of the New Jersey Agri- 

 cultural Experiment Station, the Director of the Department of 

 Conservation and Development and the Director of the Department 

 of Charities and Corrections. It was further decided that the 

 funds could probably best be raised by a percentage assessment 

 on the appropriation received by each of the different counties, 

 the said assessment being sufficiently large to raise a sum annually 

 of about $4,000. This report was finally submitted to the Executive 

 Committee for its consideration. 



The Publicity Committee, further through the Agricultural Ex- 

 perimient Station, has provided for the preparation of a circular 

 in cooperation with M. S. P. Leeds, President of the Atlantic City 

 Chamber of Commerce, that shall give a brief for that phase of 

 the mosquito movement in New Jersey^, which is concerned with 

 the completion of the initial drainage of the entire salt marsh, and 

 shall include endorsements of the same from organizations and 

 individuals in all parts of the state. It is expected that this cir- 

 cular will be printed in sufficient numbers for broad-cast distribution, 

 to the end that the volume of endorsements may be continuously 

 increased until the whole of the state has been covered. 



The Publicity Committee wishes to call the attention of the asso- 

 ciation to the fact that Mr. Robert F. Engle, the President, has 

 gotten out a small folder covering the problemi of completing the 

 initial drainage of the salt marsh, and that the same has been 

 widely distributed over the state, creating a favorable impression
