* nutter at the Poet Of Her. at Rea I ala — * Monquito Extermination Thf statement ot Dr. T. J. Headier. State Eatoaologi*:. at the County Chamber of Commerce meeting last week, in which he stated only a little money stands between a mosquito!es* Cape May County and what we have today. tnuM be mtt airly and squarely, with no side-stepping, by we who are so vitally interested in the rvtennmaOon of that pest. •‘A mosquitolr** Car May County"teems dream too good to be true, yet Dr. Headier, authority, state* without hesitation that when the remaining eight million of the eleven million feet of ditching i> completed the mosquito will be so Wider control that we will never know lie existed’. He my* he has inspected the control work done in this county from time to time and that it is effective at far a* it ha* gone, but lack of funds ha* halted it* progress. The cost ot ditching, according to Dr. Headke. it one half rent a foot, which mean* only forty thousand dollar* is needed to finish the job. Is there any way $40,001! can be spent to greater advantage in Cape May County than to exterminate the mosquito? If it could hr proven the mosquito cannot he exterminated the work *houid, of oourte. be; stopped. If the mosquito can be wiped out and Dr. Headier and members of the County Mosquito CommisMon say that it ran. it is sheer tolly to dilly-dally with the important project. It should be pushed to a rapid conclusion and a paltry $40,000 (for that is what such a sum is if it will accomplish such a wonder work) should errtamly not be permitted to stand in the way. It » time to nop playing with the project and get down to business. Either drop it or speedily forge

' ahead.

There is no pest more objectionable to those who spend thei r mi mm rs in Cape May County than the mosquito. Certainly the county am do nothing with forty thousand dollars that w ill bring greater returns than to exterminate the mosquito. Dr. Headlre pointed out in bis add res* that the assessed .aluation of Atlantic and Cape May Countir* is $41K).(J00.000. and that there i* room for assessed valuations ot $3,000,000,000. “Give your mosquito cornmissum money to ditch and you will have it back in increased real estate values

mighty quickly." hr declares.

Forty thousand spent in putting the pr»t out of business would return to the county many, many

s extermination.

That Proposed $ 1 Fishing Fee \ There is considerable opposition to the Senate { Bill, which if passed, will establish a Stare Marine Laboratory to study and protect sail water fish. If will be equipped and maintained by funds from a license fee of $1 to be paid by all salt water fishermen, whether their quest of the finny tribe is for pleasure or profit. Objectors to the bill Haim that the $1 li fee would be a nuisance and drive fishermen away from the shore resort*, that “snoopers" would male life miserable for fishermen and that only a small portion of the money collected would he used for laboratory work. Mo*t of h. they say . will go for the collection of fees and inspectors*

salaries.

Tho*r favoring the bill claim that folk* better | be driven away by the fee than by the absence of fids, as they will if protective measures are not '■

adopted and enforced.

The bill has been endorsed by tbe State Fish and Game Commission, rite New Jersey Fish and Conservation league and the Middle Atlantic

Fisheries Association.

Iweek we advocated the bill, stating it >houM meet with the approval of every true qwrtsman and commercial fisherman. It should, mlcss it be an actual fact that but a small portion of the money Would go to protective channels. No true sportsman will object to paying tbe iollar fee. The trouble with that word "sports

too often misused. A sportsman

slays the game according to the rules, refusing to take unfair advaitagr of an opponent. If every ythcalled sportsman had the qualities that make for sportsmanship there would be little need for ent^rcement “snoopers." as they are often uniusrlv

Slled.

Something 'must be done and done quick to save! hr salt w»te* h*h. The aim ot the disputed bill
