miles from their homes, while the 
latter seldom get farther than 100 
feet away. The inland mosquito has 
a plain brown proboscis, while the 
salt water variety has striped legs and 
white rings around the proboscis. 
Excellent views of each were given. 
It is with the salt water variety that 
* the interest on the North Shore cen- 
ters, for the most part, and a large 
part of the speaker’s time was given 
to explaining and describing a system 
of drainage for marshes. Owing t» 
the difference in the texture of tie 
soil, the distance between the ditches 
_will vary from 150 feet to 200 feet. 
The ditches are made as nearly par- 
allel as is practicable. The pictures 
af the Skinner machines showed the 
methods of using the equipment, as 
well as the equipment itself. Tue 
hand equipment, the speaker thought, 
would be superior to the larger, more 
clumsy machine equipment for use 
upon the North Shore. 
Mr. Harvey gave the following 
rules for individual assistance in ex- 
terminating mosquitoes: 
1. Take care of stagnant water. 
Ditch or fill in the land. Mosquitoes 
also breed in old tin cans, dishes, 
bottles, pails, etc., in anything, in fact, 
that is likely to catch rain water. 
2. If stagnant water cannot ve 
removed, oil it. One cup of crude 
cil will take care of 15 feet of lant. 
. Report breeding places to the 
local board of health, so that it may 
look after them, as it is authorized 
to do by the laws of Massachusetts. 
Following Mr. Harvey’s talk Mr. 
Denégre addressed the audience. The 
substance of Mr. Denégre’s remarks 
was, in brief, a resume of the work he 
and other individual land-holders 
have done on their own estates, and 
an outline of the history of the or- 
ganization of the North Shore Asso- 
ciation for the Extermination of 
Mosquitoes, of which he is the presi- 
dent, and some practical information 
about what may and should be done 
along this line on the Shore. The 
New York company, which is the 
recognized expert in this line of 
work, has estimated the extent of the 
work necessary to protect the whole 
North Shore, and in view of the fact 
that it gives a written guarantee of 
efficiency, reports that the process 
would have to extend from Salem 
through Danvers, Beverly, Beverly 
Farms, Manchester and Magnolia, 
to the Gloucester boundary. The 
cost would be about $29,400, and the 
cost of yearly maintenance $3000 for 
the first two or three years. If the 
cost of the work can be raised, Mr. 
Denégre believes that the subscribers

to the original cost could look to the 
cities and towns of the Shore to raise 
the maintenance fund. “If they will 
stand by us,” he said, “we will do big 
work.” 
SPECIAL Town MEETING. 
A special Town Meeting was held 
in Manchester Wednesday evening to 
take action on the .report of. the 
Standpipe Investigation committee. 
The meeting had been well adver- 
tised and was largely attended. There 
no discussion. The 
printed report of the committee 5 
distributed among the voters was ac- 
cepted and the reconmendation to 
bring suit against Simpson Bros. 
Corp. to recover on the bond was 
passed over, The matter of making 
repairs on the standpipe was laid oa 
table to the March meeting. 
R. C. Allen, engineer to the water, 
board at the time the standpipe was 
erected, presented a most comprehen- 
sive report of the whole situation. 
We will be pleased to print Mr. 
Allen’s report in full next week--
