FIGHTING MOSQUITOES. What Is Being Done In Ocean City v With State Money. v With the present chilly blasts, and c •frequent flurries of enow, it is difficult ■ think of a mosquito in any light ex- | cept as. a dim shadow of an impending | joy -destroyer, which will mobilixe and I attack the city just as surely as the I good old summer times arrivee. a To most people the idea of forming < and putting into execution a plan to | meet and repeal that terrible army of | the pest is uhtenable. But to the i traied mosquito fighter, who makes i work of this kind his business it is a i very practical thought. The tendency « of the times is toward preparedness. I Says the mosquito foe, every move we i make now while the weather Is cold and 1 our enemies are hibernating, -strength- ■ ens our position and enhances our i chance of ultimate victory. And so a i division of General Headlee't "Mosquito Fighting Army"' has ben shifted in ( Ocean City to get in the trendies and , resist the enemy. To those entirely unfamiliar with , anti-mosquito work, it might be well | to offer a word of explanation. Mosquitoes breed only in water, and especially i in water which has been Allowed to i stand. In the case of Ocean City, sit- | uated as it is, the bulk of the pests came frm the surrounding meadows and j were of the species" known as the aedes i sollicitans. These mosquitoes were bred on the surface of the salt marsh , in the pools and poekets which the incoming tides brought into the meadows and which the receding tides failed to , drain off. To get rid of mosquito breeding on a salt marsh area, it is necessary to keep the water in circulation and prevent any collection of stagnant pools on , the meadow surface. To do this a series of parallel ditches ahoct 200 feet apart will be placed on the marsh immediately adjoining Ocean City and running to from Eighteenth Street as far to the south as available funds will permit. These ditches will be ten inches in width and thirty inches deep. This depth has been determined as the depth of the meadow sod and necessary to assure complete drainage. The width of ten inches is used as the smallest unit which will remain open without undue maintenance. The ditching will all be done under contract and the most improved and up-to-date ditching machine will be made use of-fo"<^a.rry on l he work. About 200, OpO lineal feet of (his ten inches by thirty inches ditching will be placed. Also it is hoped in addition that some means of draining the pockets between Eighth and Ninth Streets and Thirteenth and Fourteenth j > Streets will be found and carried into j | execution. The work is being done under the I direct supervision of an engineer from j Dr. Headlce's office in New Brunswick and is receiving the benefit of experienced and trained oversight. When j completed it should serve a- an exam- | pie of a well -constructed bit of anti- . mosquito Work second to none in the State. But the question arises, even granted that the work does all that is claimed, and drains thoroughly the meadows immediately contiguous to Ocean City, does that mean that during the summer of 1916 Ocean City" will be entirely free from mosquitoes? Certainly not. It is but the beginning of more extended work that must follow. Atlantic City has been ditching for four ' years. The State is doing this work now with the hope that Cape May county will see the possibilities of work of this kind and take it up in earnest and push it through to a successful finish. Oape May City is already actively interested. The benefit to this part of the State accruing from a mosquitolees condition is inestimable. Watch this work and boost.
