Health Commissioner James Bosley Is
preparing to have introduced In the city
council next week an ordinance that will
give him power to wage war on mosquitoes.
which insects he holds are responsible to
a great extent for the spread OF infectious
and contagious diseases. Dr.. Bosley's idea
ia to make 1t violation of law for any
property owner to permit breeding place
for mosquitoes to exist on his premises
with such a law In force the health ward
ems and police will be employed to see that
1t Is carried out. The health Wardens Will
make careful inspections from time to time
and whenever they find mosquito breed
ing place they viii notify the owner Of the
premises who will be required to abate the
nuisance If this notice Ii not promptly
complied with the offending property owner
will be arrested. Mosquitoes breed prin-
cipally in cesspools and stagnant water.
says Dr. SBosley. and II each Baltimorean
is required by law to attend to the mos
quito breeding places on his own property,
the cost to no one property owner would be
very great. He likewise believes that II
each owner is held personally responsible
for mosquito breeding places on his own
property. better results can be secured
than If the city attempts, on q wholesale
scale. to get rid of mosquitoes. ]. M. D.
