roof -breeding problem.. This year, in the latter part of the season, 

 we have had exactly the atmospheric conditions which would lead 

 to extensive roof breeding. I would like to ask Mr. Winship if he 

 had the roof-breeding problem this year and if he did, how he 

 handled it. 



Mr. Winship : That matter, Dr. Headlee, is taken care of by the 

 sanitary force. In our sanitary code there is a section which makes 

 it a misdemeanor to have any. breeding on any private premises, in- 

 cluding the tanks on the roofs. We have a section in the code which 

 requires that the tanks be properly covered. Those places are in- 

 spected by the sanitary inspector of each district and he is responsible 

 for all the local conditions. 



Mr. Miller: Does that come out of your $48,000? 



Mr. Winship: No, sir. 



Mr. Miller: Well, that answers the question as to how you do 

 it so cheaply. You see I am on record in a paper read before the 

 American Society of Civil Engineers that it costs $150,000 per 

 annum to take care of New York properly, and I guess that my cost 

 is not so far off. 



President Hudson : We will now hear from Dr. Frederick 

 Hoffman, of the Prudential Insurance Company.
