The magnificent Imyrovemenu by which a vast tract of salt meadows has been reclaimed are praeUcally completed, and the climax of this great undertaking is capped by the beginning of the Government work of the deep water entrance channel between the harbor and the ocean, which stamps it with national reoognlUon as a ha ven of reluge.

A little light u|>on the inner workings of this dosed corporation (?) might reveal something of acharacter beyond the mere social. the proper time a report of 4he y work of the local board will appearand the record will then speak for itself. This suggestion is of interest to all concerned in the welfare of Cape May, and is one which requires Uie united efforts of all resident*, both in Cape May ancl lu vicinity. Foolish enough, perhaps on first appearance, yet serious enough to effect the interests of all who live here or likely to live here or tn the immediate neighborhood. Coming right to the point it st once he seen that if the viva mosquito can in any way be iliminated or its ravages lessened we might be nearer heaven and have better b< snd possibly more money. Our suggestion then is—let us all engage in a lasting campaign against .he mosquito. In detail, to do this it will be neceotary to 1. Drain all stagnant water. 2. Dispense with the time honored rain barrel. 3. Keep the gutters free of water. 4. Streets free from puddles. 5. Keep the grass w dl trimmed in yards, etc. 6. Do away with any receptacle likely to contain or bold t nant water. In places where draining cannot be accomplished the surface of the w nay he covered with crude oil.
