missions work; the passing intelligently upon the plans, methods 

 and estimates of the individual county commissions; the furnishing 

 of information principally in the way of plans and estimates for 

 contemplated work, and the general correlation of the activities 

 of the individual county commissions. In the past, the funds 

 supplied have always been sufficient not only to do the above work 

 but to do additional actual drainage work on the salt marsh in places 

 where it is most needed. 



The second type of appropriation is the part or the whole of 

 the $750,000.00 which it is estimated are needed from the state to 

 supplement the efforts of the county mosquito extermination com- 

 missions in such a way as to furnish the drainage of the salt marshes 

 within a limited period. 



It was later found that the Department of Conservation and 

 Development had planned to include in its budget a request for 

 $200,000 for salt marsh drainage. In this form the request of the 

 State Experiment Station and the Department of Conservation and 

 Development went to the Governor's Budget Commission. The 

 $15,000.00 request of the State Experiment Station was approved 

 and during the session of the Legislature was inserted in the Ap- 

 propriation Bill. The $200,000.00 request of the Department of 

 Conservation and Development was eliminated by the Governor's 

 Budget Commission, and neither it nor any part of it was inserted 

 in the Appropriation Bill during the Legislature's session. 



By correspondence the executive committee authorized the secre- 

 tary to prepare the program for the coming annual meeting and later 

 approved this program. 



In the second session, the committee considered two matters 

 w^hich were presented to it by the field executives of the various 

 mosquito extermination commissions, both matters took the form 

 of resolutions and are submitted in this report in the way in which 

 they were presented by the field executives. 



"Whereas problems in anti-mosquito work arise from time to time which 

 affect all the mosquito extermination commissions collectively, the prompt 

 solution of which is important to the successful prosecution of control opera-
