1 Uest School System ' ; < i A PROGRESSIVE RESORT. ABOVE ALL OTHER 1 CITIES, NEEDS IT

i Q If it is expected that this city is going to grow in population, the number of children will also grow, and the failure to provide as needed accommo- " dattons for their schooling is little short of a crime. B From the standpoint of the interests of this city as d resort, nothing is more detrimental to it than to [ fail in maintaining a modern, thoroughly equipped u system of schools. Atlantic City has led the way in progress among all the resorts of America, and f her school system is renowned throughout the country for. its completeness. Incidentally it has grown in less than forty years, from a population ) of 2,000 to a population of 60,000. ■ i • . - . . . . - . . u

THE MOSQUITO. ' IS DOOMED THE CAPE MAY COUNTY MOSQUITO COMMISSION, ASSISTED BY OTHER I EARNEST WORKERS, APT- PLANi ING THE FINISH OF NEW JERSEY'S ONLY PEST. Mr. L. C. Ogden, President of thn Board of Trade of Gape May, in Us determination to break up the moaquite pest, is making a study of the subject and gathering all information possible. The following letter was received recently by Mr. Ogden from Newark. COUNTY MOSQUITO EXTERMINATION COMMISSION 790 Broad Street Newark, N. J., Nov. 24 1916. L. C, Ogden, Preeident Board of Trade, City of Cape May, N. J. Sir: Your favor of November 17th addressed to Hia Honor, Mayor Raymond, of city, was referred to this department foe the information which you deeire. The city of Newark is the pioneer of mosquito extermination work on th* salt meadow; of the State. When th* first ditching on the salt meadows in aa experiments! way was undertaken m 1903 the Common Council upon the recommendation of the Board of Health, appropriated $5,000, for salt marsh ditching on those meadows lying withia the jurisdiction of the city of Newark. 1906 an act "To provide for looating and abolishing mosquito breeding salh meadow areas within the State, for assistance in dealing with certain inland places and appropriating money cany its provisions into effect" waa passed by the Legislature. This bill carried the provision that *350,000 was appropriated for this work, to be expended annually in . amounts set aside by the appropriation committee. In 1907 th* expended part of this appropriation on the salt marsh es oT the city of Newark and since that time there has been more or less work donjon the In 1912 the Legislature passed ,an act creating county moequito extermination commissions and the Essex County Commission took up the work which had been, up to that time, carried on by the Board of Health of thia city. At the present time the entire salt marsh area of 4000 acres situated withia the city limits has been drained and rendered practically free of mosquito The result of this drainage work is successful; but one draw-bade which seriously handicaps this result has been that while the salt marsh of Essex Oounty was "rendered safe salt marshes of adjacent counties which bethe work later and which has not completed as yet in parts of Hudand Bergen Counties (Bergen County only having taken up the work the sumof 1915) , have furnished mosquitoes from time to time which invaded our eounty. Drainage of salt meadows for mosquito control brings larger returns in salt hay values as it has been thoroughly demonstrated a -drained arms will render two crops of salt hay of much better quality than an tin drained I am enclosing reports and other literature on tW» subject and any further information whISi you may desire I will be glad to furnish. As to whether the work has proves effective in actually ridding the County of mosquitoes I might say that aside a period of two weeks in August when excessive rains- so handicapped us mosquitoes were noticeable only in the northern part of the oounty three mosquitoes having oome from .Bergen; and while they have not been entirely exterminated as yet. they have been so reduced that only occasionally are they in any considerable numbers. - Yours very truly, JOHN W. DOBBINS, Chief Inspector.
