term In the sense of multiple dwellings, as
oetned In the tenement house act. The
preference for houses OF this kind in the
SUBWAY territory Is not explicable on the
theory that improved transportation has
brought about concentration there of
tenement house building. The preference Is
oHte as distinctly apparent elsewhere. In

Monte Carlo. the gamblers paradise. 1t is
on account of the immense sum left behind

JERSEY MOSQUITOES.
Efforts to Rid State of Nuisance to
Three-Fourths of Population.

Fror the New York Tribune.
New Jersey is famous all the world over
for two things-its good roads and its bad
mosquitoes" says the report of the con-
ference committee mosquito extermina-
ton. ut enjoys its reputation for good
roads because the state extended financial
aid IN building them. About 80 per cent or
the cost of the roads was borne by the state
itself, and the balance by the municipality
and the adjoining property owners. The
whole people of the state have been bene-
fitted by these good roads. and the whole
people of the state will in an equal degree
be benefited by the elimination of the salt
marsh mosquito"
Out of an area of less than five million
acres contained in the state of New Jersey
II is estimated that more than two-nfths ara
affected by the salt marsh mosquito nui-
sance, and these two million acres are in
haoited by more than so per cent OF the
population of the state. With the salt marsh
mosquito nuisance eliminated, the commit
tee estimates that the value of this land
would surely Increase to the amount OF 81
an acre the average: thus there would
be an addition to the value of lands IN the
state of $40, 900. With a tax rate of
per cent this would add to the taxes pay
able within the state 100000 every year
thereafter. The entire cost Of renedy!ns
the conditions now existing Is estimated at
not to exceed $3.50. 900.
Three years ago. when DR.. John b. Smith.
the New Jersey state entomologist stated
that the two distinctive and most abundant
mosquitoes breeding on the salt marshes
never bred In fresh water he was contra
dicted by several entomologists- At tina
present time, however. there is a unanimity
of opinion that with the exception of salt
mosquitoes breeding in The hollow trunks OF
trees, those mosquitoes that breed most nu-
merously In the salt marshes breed nowhere
else. They have the migratory habit they
travel long distances. they bite In the day
Time but rarely enter houses. In contra
distinction to this 1t has been established
that nearly all of the mosquitoes that breed
In fresh waters travel short distances: In
fact unless fresh water breeding places be OF
great extent, they are seldom troublesome
more than half a mile from the place where
they are bred. Most Of these species, how
ever. habitually enter houses, biting chiefly
at night. They may be ciassed as domestic
mosquitoes. The malaria carrier is the most
dangerous OF these. II there were fewer
mosquitoes. says the report, there would be
more Inhabitants and the committee has
adopted a resolution urging the appTopria-
ton OF such sums of money as will most
quickly and most effectively remove the
nuisance, which Affects moro than three,
fourths Of the whole states population.

for them as soon as they are finished.
Among the other improvements made dur
Ing the past year can be mentioned the
erection of four houses on the north side
of M street. near Water by Mr. Charles
b. Pierson: the building of an apartment
house and four dwellings on Az and NJ
streets southwest; the construction of an
apartment house at 10th street and Vir-
gfnia avenue by the Latterner estate; the
putting UP of the Vincetta, an apartment
house, on Maryland avenue, near IA street,
by Mr.. John Waters; the building of an
apartment house on c street, between 18th
and 9Th streets. by st. Johns Church:
and the building of the new bank
building on 7th street, near E, for the
Home Savings Bank. Mr.. t. A Judd. the
druggist. Is now erecting a handsome new
store and apartment house at the corner
or 18th and F streets southwest. which will
be ready for occupancy early in the coming
summer.
The only public building under construc-
ton In the southwest Is the magnificent new
home of the Department of Agriculture al
though the section could claim an interest
in the new National Museum building
which is going upon the borders of the
southwest district.
On the Water Front.
The improvements along the water front
section of the city, practically all of which
are within the confines of the southwest
section, have been numerous The old tum-
bledown wharves and buildings of the old
ferry company have been replaced by mod
ern structures by the Norfolk and Wash
ington Steamboat Company. the Mount Yer
non and Marshall Hall Steamboat Company
has erected new office building and wait
ing room. the new home for the Fire6ghter
and it's crew has been put up by the Dis
trict. Within the next few months II Is
stated, a new house will be erected at
the foot of N street for the Corlnthian Boat
Club. and other improvements are In con-
temptation that will metamorphose the
water front section. The two-story build
ing built at 9Th and / streets southwest
by Johnson g. Wimsatt. and the additions
made to the buildings OF George e. Walker
and Frank Hall are also among the recent
improvements In the southwest.
The future OF the southwest section looks
bright to residents. Tho elimination Of
grade crossings and the stoppage of the use
of the streets by the moving trains the
covering OF the foul James Creek canal
and the other large public works that are
In progress or In contemplation will ma
terially aid In the Improvement OF the Sec
ton. The Identifying OF the Potomac Park,
1t IL believed will have tendency to adj
vance the value OF real estate in the south
west, and property owners will be bene-
flied. Just now there Is q strong and
healthy demand for southwest real estate,
both for rent and sale. and 1t Is safe to
say that there are fewer houses vacant to-
day In the southwest than In any other por-
ton OF the city.

cation which will be known as the Ma,
tional Federation of Postoffice Clerks,
is the first national labor union in
America to be composed exclusively OF
government employees. -
Several other cities, it is said, will be
represented in the movement as soon as
it is fairly launched. All the branches
sending delegates to the convention are
now chartered by the American Fedora
tion Of Labor as local unions and the
movement to start the national fedora,
ton is said to have the approval of
Samuel Gompers and his associates in
the executive council. Formal applica-
tion for a national charter was for
warded to Washington last night.
The new organization is based on
strictly trade union lines and the lead
ers declare that within six months at
least twenty local unions will be
formed, all working in accordance with
the regular labor movement. The OBJ
iect of the federation is said to be to
seek the adjustment of grievances.
