MOSQUITO — I WAR STARTED! 1 ALLIES WANTED AT THE FRONTPROF. HEADLEE AND OTHERS INTERESTED PARTIES GIVEN AN AUDIENCE BEiuRE THE COUNTY BOARD OF FREEHOLDERS. In addition to local breeding species 1 . of mosquitoes cotnmonjto practically all 1 ! states. New Jersey has the_$xft marsh ' 1 forms. There are several species which ■ 1 breed exclusively on tbe salt marsh,, and . most of these at times rise in immense , swarms and make their way far inland. Repeated collections covering a period of several years in all parte Of the State clearly indioate that they may reach points forty miles inland. Before 1 any of the salt marsh was drained a strip forty miles wide and extending 1 long the entire coast line was subject m the attacks of these salt-marA bloodsuckers. So vicious were they that the development of shore property was held . back, and millions of dollars invested in - seashore resorts became almost a dead loss. The prevention of the salt-marsh mosquito breeding has already shown tremendous benefits in increased valuation 1 of shore property. From Jersey City to Sewaren the value has increased 15. per ' or about 82,000,000. Monmouth ' Beach and Rnmson have increased 25 per cent or about 82,000,000. Morgan property has improved 300 per cent or about 8100,000. The shore from Matawan to ' Atlantic Highlands has increased about per cent, or $1500,000. This increase of $5,600,000 in all probability would not have taken place without the pracelimination of the salt-marsh mosquito. Considering the probable advancement of property values along the shore in the still infested region of the State, it likely that the elimination of the salt-marsh mosquitoes by proper drain- c of the balance of the wit marsh ' would mean kn increase in the value of * state property amounting to about $23,- 1 000.000. h Prof. Headlec is of the opinion that 8 the salt marsh mosquito is the worst of 1 the Jersey breeds. While this variety is 0 extremely annoying it is non -poisonous. '' speaker in convincing way, demonstrated to the Freeholders the process which is necessary to exterminate the mosquito. Other speakers called upon Were Wil- S ifstn Porter, L. C. Ogden. Dr. V. M. D. * J. M. E. Hildreth and Sttlwell • .Townsend. The above named gentle- ? are devoting much time to the mos- * quito question, and we believe they will • accomplish much in the battle they have ^ tarted for Cape May County.
