to the various county commissions for their good reports, and to the boards 

 of freeholders of their respective counties for the appropriations by means 

 of which the work of the commissions has been carried forward ; that we ex- 

 press our thanks to all those enthusiastic spirits who have contributed their 

 bit to make this convention one of enviable record; and further that we re- 

 ord our appreciation of the helpfulness of the newspapers of the state and 

 to their representatives who have been with us to report our sessions, and 

 for their co-operation in informing the public upon the activities of this as- 

 sociation in its efforts looking toward the ultimate cleaning up in the state of 

 its mosquito-breeding areas ; and that we also extend to the management of 

 the Hotel Chalfonte our thanks for the courteous and generous hospitality we 

 have received. 



2. Resolved, That this association hereby recommends that the several coun- 

 ty extermination commissions convey to the board of freeholders of their 

 respective counties a brief report of the work of this convention with appro- 

 priate thanks for their interest in having representatives present. 



3. Resolved, That the various county commissions be and are hereby urged 

 to use their best influence in getting financial co-operation from municipal 

 governing bodies in which municipal work is being done, and also from pri- 

 vate and corporate interests in localities where work is being done as is prac- 

 ticed by the commissions in Bergen, Union and Essex, thereby securing 

 greater local interest in mosquito-control work and larger resources in funds 

 for the extension of it. 



4. Resolved, That the secretary of this association be and is hereby author- 

 ized to have copies of the Proceedings of the first six annual meetings of this 

 association bound together in single volumes and placed for disposal at the 

 discretion of the Executive Committee. 



5. Resolved, That the members of the Executive Committee, together with 

 other men they may call upon, are hereby requested to appear before the 

 State Appropriations Committee and again urge the Legislature to appropri- 

 ate annually $150,000.00 to extend and speed up the efforts to rid New Jersey 

 of all of its mosquito-breeding areas. 



6. Resolved, That we hereby recommend for the consideration of the Exec- 

 utive Committee the advisability of holding the next annual meeting of this 

 association at Trenton. 



7. Resolved, That the Executive Committee be requested again to attack the 

 problem of organized state-wide publicity as a means of obtaining more effi- 

 cient co-operation of local, county and state organizations and officials and of 

 private industrial managements, through educating the tax-payer and voter to 

 the value of anti-mosquito work as carried on in this state. 



8. Resolved, That the secretary be instructed to communicate to Mr. Wil- 

 liam Delaney, superintendent of the Hudson County Commission, that the 

 association in convention at Atlantic City, has learned with sincere regret his 

 inability to be present by reason of illness, and to express to him the strong 

 hope that his health may be speedily restored and thus insure the continu- 

 ance of his long and valiant anti-mosquito fight in the state. 



Respectfully submitted by the Committee on Resolutions.
