cation and practical application Of the
mosquito determination plans, has
been completed, and besides 100 men
put on as extras to clean cutters by the
city, $50 men are working as part of
the system Of sanitation. Citizens are
being organized in wards, and these
ward clubs will form precinct clubs
and a house to house canvass will be
made to assure the screening of every
cistern and the oiling Of every cesspool
and water pond. The business men
have provided the funds for this work,
and as the people are now reused to
the necessity of action, there will be
no let-up. Yielding to the sentiment of
the community the state board of
health Monday adopted new regula
] tons for the fruit ships, providing
that they should remain six days at
sea between the last port and New Or
leans, and requiring fumig alton at port
Of departure and fumigation here after
the discharge Of the cargo. The people
are convinced that the Infection was
brought here by the fruit steamers
and If it became necessary to make the
regulations SO stringent as to drive
them away, in the present feeling,
such regulations would be enforced.
