War on Mosquitoes. 4

Under a recent enactment by the Legis-
lature OF New Y ork, 1t is provided that
when boards Of health discover on private
premises pools or other Accommodations Of
water that breed the larvae Of mosaui-
toes, such pools may be treated rs nui-
aances and nbated at the expense OF the
owners. s
tiBItis provided in the charter OF the city
OF Richmond that IF any ground In the
city shall DO subject to be covered by
stngnallt water, or It the owner or own
ers. occupicr or occupiers thereof. shall
permit any offensive or ,lnwholesorne st,b-
stance to remain or accumulate thereon,
tho Council may cause to be filled up,
raised or drained. or may cause such
substance to be covered or to he removed
'thcrefrom, and may collect the expense
OF SO doing from the said owner or own
.ers. occupier or occuplers. or any OF
them, by distress and sale. In tho manner
In which taxes levied upon real estate
forSthe benefit of said city arJnuthorized
to be collected, provided that reasonable
notice shall have been given to tho said
owners or their agents. 81
There are stagnant pools on the suburbs
of Richmond which are n menace to
health and which breed mosquitoes by
the thousand, TO the great annoyance Of
residents In those sections. II Is to DO
hoped that the new Board OF Health will
take this subject under consideration,
During some seasons OF the year 1t Is
impossible for residents IN tho West End
to sit on their lawns after nlgltfal with
any degree Of comfort, because OF tho
mosquito pest. Persons who are able to
flee to the mountains as soon M the hot
season opens may we'll afford to treat
the MOSQUITO pest with Indifference; not
so with those who must stay here all
the year round. To stay indoors on u
sweltering evening Is unbearahle, but
scarcely less 80 to sit IN the lawn when
the mosquitoes are busy. There il no
doubt that proper attention to tho mos.
quito pools would greatly abate, IL ii
dld not eradicate, tho mosquito pest.
