Dr. Hunt — It was felt at the meeting of the Executive Com- 

 mittee that in the interest of the public and the need of pub^ 

 hcity, it would be well to extend the membership of the society 

 as largely and in as general a way as possible; and the Chair 

 appointed a committee with that end in view. The committee 

 has not accomplished as much as it might have done had it gone 

 at the thing- in perhaps a more spirited way, but I will say from 

 the figures that there has been a considerable increase and in the 

 coming year we may extend it considerably more. 



Report of Membership Committee. 



On November 6th the Membership Committee came together 

 at the home of the chairman for the purpose of considering what 

 might be done in the way of increasing the membership of the 

 Association. O'wing to illness, Mr. A. J. Rider was unable to 

 attend. It was decided to send a form of return post card to 

 each of the active mosquito commissions of the State, with the 

 suggestion that the same be issued as a basis for making up a 

 communication to be sent tO' one thousand or less of the promi- 

 nent citizens, inviting them to sustain a closer relation to the 

 miosquito extermination work by becoming members of the 

 State Association. On one side of the return card came, of 

 course, the name and address of the person tO' whom it was to 

 be sent, while on the reverse side was the following statement: 



The Mosquito Must Go. 



Dear Sir or Madam : 



The anti-mosquito work now going on in and other 



counties in New Jersey has reached a point where those in 

 charge believe you can materially help in making New Jersey a 

 "mosquitoless State" by becoming a member of the New Jersey 

 Mosquito Extermination Association, and thus lending your 

 moral support to the cause. 



Enrollment constitutes membership. Neither dues nor assess- 

 ments are required. We want 10,000 members. 



Very truly yours, 

 Ralph H. Hunt, M.D., East Orange, N. J., 

 A. J. Rider, Hammonton, N. J., 

 T. J. Headi.ee, Ph.D., New Brunswick, N. J., 



Committee on Membership.
