TINE IN.
MOSQUITO WAR
Land. Owners Must Dig bitches
Before Spring, 10 Drain Off
Slagnant Water.
SIXTY DAYS HAVE EXPIRED

Today marks the end OF the origi-
nal sixty-day time limit granted to
the owners of marshes containing
mosquito breeding pools by the
health authorities.
AS told at the time In the NEWS
the owners of the marshes In the
western and northern sections of the
city, who are mostly manufacturing
concerns, were given sixty days in
which to dig thirty-inch bitches
through their property so as to drain
it of all stagnant water.
The owners Of the land will not
be prosecuted, however. 1t was
deemed unfair to cause the bitches
to be dug during the winter, when
the ground is hard, and the Board
of Health, at recent meeting,
granted the property owners until
early spring to start the work.
