EIGHT SPRAYING
GANGS WERE
At WORK
Their Efforts Wire Confined En-
tiTeIy to the Original la
feGted District.

Mayor Bliss had eight spraying
gangs at work yesterday. Six Of these
were in the northeast quarter of the
city which includes the Foriginal in
fected district, ana which has been
the part of the city where the largest
number of cases have developed The
mayor has concentrated the spraying
force in this district for several days,
and while he scouts the idea OF
having destroyed nearly all the infect
&c mosquitoes. yet he is proud of the
fact that only one case of yellow fever
has developed in this district in the
past three days, together with two
other cases on the extreme limits OF
the district
There are two spraying gangs that
do special duty and they are sent to
answer calls in the other three-quar-
tiers of the city. All special calls
could not be filled yesterday.
A large number of citizens bought
spTayers yesterday and called on the
city for liquid and thus the spraying
force has been largely increased by
volunteer force.
The liquid used is a prepared disin-
fectant that is manufactured from pine
tar by the -Tetort process and which is
made soluble in water. The liquid is
diluted at the ratio Of so to thus
one gallon makes fifty gallons of
spraying material The liquid is not
disagreeable and does not soil any
thing and the mosquitoes are soon dis
patched.
