Scientific Killing, With Certain
Results, to Be Used by New

hit the mark. The usual way was TO
squirt the destroying element into q
sewer catch-basin the best way the
man could ge- to 1t and then hope that
it killed all the larvae. But now things
have changed. Never, never again will
the elusive insect be sprayed by faith,

firmly sprung last night by MOSQUITO
determination Commissioner John w,
Dobbins at a notable gathering at the
Essex County Country Club last night.

mosquito determination work. said
the Newark expert, but has not &C.
complished a great deal because, In my
opinion, the work has not been done
right. We spent $500 for spraying oil
in the sewer basins, but found we had
put the oil in one corner and over In
another corner the mosquito larvae, To-
Gated In a feather bed or a baby car
rage, had escaped untouched and the
mosquitoes came out full-f1edged later
on. Now we intend to have our men
lift up h basin lids and find out ex-
actly what is inside
