Proceedings of Seventh Annual Meeting 85 



will take up the reports of special committees. We will hear the 

 report of the special committee which was appointed to prepare 

 resolutions to be presented today. 



Mr. Reid Howell : This, as you gentlemen will recall, is the 

 committee that was appointed to consider a nation-wide movement 

 of mosquito control, and this is the resolution which was presented. 



Whereas it is the sense of the New Jersey Mosquito Extermination Asso- 

 ciation in convention assembled at Atlantic City this 6th day of February, 

 1920, that the time has arrived for some initial action to be taken looking 

 toward a more extensive and nation-wide movement for mosquito control, 

 one reason being that even in the South where the principal injurious rela- 

 tionship is found in the carriage of malaria, people do not appreciate the work 

 done unless it involves the control of all other species. 



Therefore, be it Resolved, That the secretary of this association be and 

 he is hereby instructed to bring the sense of this assemblage upon this matter 

 to the attention of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, 

 or to any other national society or association that he may deem might be in- 

 terested, and that he suggest to such society or associations that they, one or 

 both or all, invite delegates from this and other similar mosquito-extermina- 

 tion associations and other public bodies, or men, having a personal interest in 

 such matters, to appear and be present at their next national conference that 

 a proper discussion of the needs for such a nation-wide undertaking may be 

 used. 



And Further, be it Resolved, That in event of an invitation being extended 

 to this association for such a conference as outlined, the Executive Commit- 

 tee of this association be and are hereby empowered to send one or more 

 delegates, at its discretion. 



President Hudson : Is there any one who would like to be heard 

 on this resolution? The matter was discussed at length last night. 

 A Member: I move we adopt the resolution. 

 (After discussion, the motion was carried). 



Mr. Porter: Mr. President, the Auditing Committee is now 

 ready, sir. 



I, William Porter, chairman of the Auditing Committee of the New Jersey 

 Mosquito Extermination Association, do hereby certify that the receipts and 

 expenditures, the bank deposits, checks and bills payable have been properly 

 audited to date and found correct. 



Dated this 6th day of February, 1920. 



William Porter, 

 Chairman of Auditing Committee.
