Skipworth Can- ' nell to use the money that she raised by a ball last summer for mosquito ex- 1 termination work. ' Owing to the fact that the meadows 1 nearby are being drained in order to ' exterminate these pests and because of 1 the fact that some rain water that ac- ' cumulates on the beach near Sewell's 1 Point has become stagnant and is breed- ' ing mosquitoes the Board has asked for * the use of this sum that amounts to ap- ' proximately $200. ' This sum will be sufficient to cover 1 the entire section of New Cape May and ' a considerable area in the built up sec- 1 tion that needs attention. TO HOLD BAZAAR !
