 will be presented to the association, speaks for itself. The needs 

 of the anti-mosquito work in the state apparently calls for a com- 

 mittee with wider powers than the one whose duty it is to develop 

 a ditch cleaning machine. It would seem wise, in view of the urgent 

 need for satisfactory machinery both for drainage and mainten-

 whose business it is to devise such machinery as the same is most 

 appointment of such a committee be authorized at the present 

 urgently needed and the Secretary would like to suggest that the 

 session. 



By the authorization of the Executive Committee the program 

 which is now before you has been prepared. The present meeting 

 has been arranged for and the publicity attendant upon .the same 

 has been provided.
