- July 16, 1915, 
A DETERMINED effort is being made by members of 
the Manchester summer colony to rid the community 
of mosquitos. And in that direction certain sections of 
the town, especially lowlands and swampy places, have 
been treated, with most encouraging results. One resident 
of West Manchster who has seldom been able to sit in his 
courtyard at night because of mosquitos, says he now takes 
great comfort in the enjoyment of his grounds at all hours, 
unmolested by the pest ; the mosquitos have entirely disap- 
peared. Walter D. Denégre and Frank P. Frazier have 
interested themselves in the movement to the extent that 
they have had considerable work done. Mr. Denégre has 
sent out the following letter to a hundred or more house- 
holders in Manchester, appealing for funds to carry on 
the work in a systematic way. ‘The letter follows: 
“To rid this neighborhood of the mosquito pest is the 
desire of all house-owners or house-holders. It can be 
done by organized effort, and at no great cost to any one 
perosn; provided all contribute. The work accomplished 
by the United States government in Panama is an object 
lesson. Work done by any individual on his own place 
is of no avail unless his neighbors do similar work; and 
unless all combine to take care of stagnant pools in the 
near back woods, on the rocks, and in the marshes. Mr. 
Fraizer and I have been doing the work on our own lands, 
but found it of no avail until we began employing men to 
look after adjoining lands. Within the last ten days we 
employed William E. Morris, of East Gloucester, who has 
done much of the spraying for gypsy caterpillars on the 
North Shore, and who knows this neighborhood. His 
mosquito work has, so far, been confined to spraying 
breeding places with oil, and placing cans of oil with 
drips at different places. The results in this short time 
have been so satisfactory to us, and to some of our neigi- 
bors, that it evidences the possibility of great relief from 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 21

mosquitos, and in time their extermination, if the work 
is persisted in and carried further. If you care to join in 
the experiment for this summer and early fall, it is Mor- 
ris’ opinion that a contribution of $25 from each house- 
holder, or house-owner, will be effective. I am willing to 
undertake the general supervision of the work to see that 
it is done in accordance with instructions which will be 
sent from the United States government. Those desiring 
to contribute may send their checks to me, and I wil 
endeavor to see that the sum realized brings as good results 
as is possible for the amount collected, and disbursed.”
