The entire territory under the deputy chief is divided into 

 districts, each one of which is under the jurisdiction of a district 

 or supervising inspector. These in turni contain a number of 

 sections of one day's inspection each. At the height of the 

 season when breeding is at its maximum the inspection force 

 is so enlarged as to have each section inspected once in nine or 

 ten days. Thus, if a district contained forty-five sections and 

 each one was to be inspected in nine days, the district inspector 

 would have five assistant inspectors to do the work of his terri- 

 tory. 



In inspection work of this sort, however, certain sections are 

 of such a nature that a nine-day inspection would be superfluous. 

 The better class of residential sections should have to be regu- 

 larly inspected but four or five times in a season. I have in mind 

 some sections in Newark that had no violations for the entire 

 season of 1916. 



Then, too, in the section which contains our own office in 

 Newark there are but two or three yards that could be inspected. 

 The entire spq^ce is taken up with buildings. 



The work in a city is composed largely of simple house-to- 

 house inspection, although in the outlying sections drainage work 

 has to be done. 



At the end of each day each assistant inspector hands to his 

 district inspector a card for each violation that he has found, 

 with remarks as to what he has done or advises to be done. 

 With this information given him the district inspector compiles 

 monthly reports which are used later in tabulating yearly sta- 

 tistics. 



Oiling is done by the assistant inspector under the supervision 

 of the district inspector, who is furnished with some means of 

 transportation of oil. Either motorcycles with side-vans or Ford 

 trucks will be tried this coming season in Essex County. 



This is, in brief, the system of inspection in Newark. My 

 time for this paper is so short that any further explanation is 

 impossible. I will gladly answer any questions privately.
