ary, and because the sessions of the State Department of Agri- 

 culture come on the 24th, 25th and 26th of that month, neces- 

 sitating a certain amount of absence of local people. Inasmuch 

 as W. C. Gorgas, Surgeon-General of the U. S. Army, H. R. 

 Carter, Assistant Surgeon-General of the Public Health Service, 

 and Dr. L. O. Howard, Chief of the Bureau of Entomology, 

 U. S. Department of Agriculture, had agreed to deliver ad- 

 dresses on the evening of January 25th, it v^as deemed unwise 

 to change the date, and the Committee on Arrangements was 

 directed to see whether proper quarters and accommodations 

 could not be obtained at some hotel other than the Chalfonte. 



The question of possible amendment of the present county 

 mosquito extermination law was then discussed, and the reported 

 intention 4HBHBHHSHBBSI^^^^ effect a change 

 considered. It was the sense of the committee that the work had 

 gone forward in such a fashion that no change in the law was 

 necessary or advisable, and it was decided in case an effort was 

 made to change the law that the same should be discouraged 

 by every proper means. 



The question of the advisability of introducing a law for the 

 purpose of empowering mosquito commissions to take up the 

 problem of fly control was then gone into and discussed at 

 length. It was apparently the sense of the committee that the 

 effort of putting the mosquito extermination work ^n a satis- 

 factory basis was not yet sufficiently complete to justify the 

 commissions in taking up another large problem, such as fly 

 control is sure to prove. 



The meeting adjourned at 8:15 P. M. 



Pre:sidEnt DarnaIvIv — What shall we do with this report, 

 gentlemen ? 



Mr. RidKr — I move the report be received. 

 Mr. Dobbins — I second the motion. 



President Darnai^Iv — Is there any discussion of the report? 

 If not, all in favor say ''aye" ; opposed "no." It is so ordered. 



The next committee report is the Committee on Membership, 

 Dr. Hunt.
