Editor The News:
Spring has come and so has the fly
and mosquito. Now how are we rent
ers going to protect ourselves and
families from the bite of the
mosquito, which causes so much suf-
fering and many deaths every year in
our city? And the seemingly harm
less house fly that causes the spread
of the dreaded typhoid. We cannot
afford to screen rented houses because
our husbands work and are often
forced to move to be nearer their
work, and if we screen the house we
occupy and move you see we would
lose the cost of screening and have
to move into house full of flies and
mosquitoes.
Now will not our commissioners
help us to solve this problem by i'm
pressing upon the minds of property
owners the great necessity of screen
ing all their houses. They could do
nothing that would be such a great
help with so little expenditure of
money.
