PROCEEDINGS 



OF THE 



Seventh Annual Meeting 



OF THE 



New Jersey Mosquito Extermination Association 



HELD AT 



Chalfonte Hotel, Atlantic City, N. J., February 5-6, 1920 



THURSDAY EVENING SESSION, FEBRUARY 5, 1920 

 (The meeting was called to order at 8.40 P. M. by President Hud- 

 son). 



President Hudson : The meeting will now come to order. It 

 is rather pleasing to find that so many of us were able to brave the 

 storm of the day and get to this place. 



The order of business includes the appointment by the President 

 ■of three committees, and I have endeavored as best I could to 

 appoint those men from the various counties. The Chair would like 

 to suggest the following : 



Committee on Resolutions — Mr. Manchee, of Essex; Mr. Reid Howell, of 

 Bergen; and Mr. Russell Gies, of Union. 



Committee on Nominations — Dr. Darnall, of Atlantic; Mr. Engle, of Ocean; 

 Dr. Brinkerhoff, of Hudson. 



Committee on Auditing — Mr. Porter, of Cape May; Mr. Bogert, of Pas- 

 :saic; and Mr. Wilson, of Morris. 



It seems to us that we have reached a definite, positive position 

 now in our mosquito work. Heretofore it has appeared to many of ^ 

 ns that we were standing somewhere and looking off into the "be- 

 yond" where there is a mosquitoless Jersey. Some of us, perhaps, 

 have been loking rather blindly toward the workirig out of this 

 mosquito problem but at the same time we have realized that we 

 have to guide us learned men of technical knowledge in this particu- 

 lar subject, and have had confidence that, if the plan which they 

 have worked out is followed, it will result in bringing about the con- 

 ditions which we hope for and which we all believe possible. Our 

 immediate problem is to provide means of attaining this end at the 

 earliest possible date. This, I believe, will be the keynote of the 

 meeting, and is the thought I have followed in the paper I have been 

 called upon to present. I am indebted to the gentlemen connected 

 with the association for much of the data which the paper contains.
