Mr. Engi^e;^ — Mr. President, in connection with that memr 

 bership, it seems to me that the way that memberships are best 

 obtained is by personal contact. Those of us who are here and 

 enthusiastic about this Association are talking a good deal about 

 it to everybody we meet, and it seems to me if we had blanks 

 made out and printed for that purpose, an application for mem-

 membership up faster than in any other way.

The next committee to report is the Publicity Committee, Mr. 

 Engle.

 publication of the "New Jersey Mosquitoless," which it believes 

 to be the best short publication that has been issued on the 

 mosquito problem anywhere. Each member of the Association 

 has been furnished with a copy and knows the nature of the 

 publication. 



A large amount of publicity work was done during the fall, the 

 best piece of which seemed to follow a general inspection of the 

 salt marsh and fresh water work in the counties of Passaic, Ber- 

 gen, Hudson, Essex and Union, in which commissioners, private 

 citizens, representatives of the New York Board of Health, in-
