cent meeting the members became 30

McManus charges the Board Of Gov
rnors with sitting any possible progress

The trouble which eliminated in Presi-
dent McManus resigning as president OF
the club was over the steward.
Ralph Mckee has been steward Of the
club for years. McManus maintained
that Of late tho steward had not given
the club his proper attention n sug-
gested n new steward be obtained.
On the night on which the selection Of
steward came up Mckee appeared and
said he would meet any bid that was re-
ceived and agreed to put up a bond. This
he failed to do. according to McManus.
and the Board Of Governors went ahead
and accepted him. Twelve members Of

DR.. Emerson Shows Results Of

propriated by City.

DIR. Haven Emerson, Health Commits
sioner. led a party Of civic workers and
newspaper men over the marsh land
bordering Jamaica Bay, commonly called
the Jamaica Bay meadows. yesterday af-
ernoon TO show them how salt water mos
quitoes are being exterminated scientific
ALL. There were more than 100 In the
party. The purpose OF the tour was to
refute recent newspaper stories to the
effect that mosquitoes thrive and multi
ply under the Commissioners extermina-
ton methods. and that the taxpayers
money is being wasted.
DR.. Emerson showed how the mone
is being expended and what results can
be expected and after the trip was
over recalled the act that not one In
the party had been bitten by a mosquito
during the afternoon.
The party assembled Mt Aqueduct, near
Jamaica Bay. At Three Mile Creek
three power ditching machines were seen
at work. There are ten altogether. Or.
Emerson explained hat these machines
cut bitches through the marsh land to
connect with Jamaica Bay. Thus the
entire marsh Is drained. and the rising
and falling OF the tide In the bay pre-
vents the water in the bitches from be-
coming s%tagnant.
As mosquitoes, according to DR.. Emer-
son, can breed only In stagnant water.
| the new crop OF winged biters will be a
complete failure. the Commissioner
hopes, through the draining OF their
| bree ing places. Thus Queens residents

The resignation Of President McManus

The resignation of President McManus
In part says:
AFTER several years Of painstaking
effort In conjunction with a few other
members in an attempt to place among
the best civic and social organizations
In the county Of Richmond. I am COM
PEELED to acknowledge that the task is a
hopeless one. as the automobile owners
OF Staten Island will not support us. the
real reason being that the members re-
ceive absolutely nothing In return for the
payment Of their dues.
The clubhouse IS invariably in dark
ness from one meeting until the next.
1t Is cold In the winter and unlnviting
at all other times. 1t Is only by a most
heroic effort that a quorum can be OBJ
tained to hold the regular meetings, and
while a great deal of good has been ac-
complishcd by the good roads committee.
absolutely nothing else has been done.
The club could nave been helped ma
terially by making a lease with a capable
steward. but despite the opposition OF
the regular workers, those members who
have attended meetings and other func-
tons. at all seasons and In all kinds of
weather. a majority Of the board of gov-
ernors, who never attended n meeting.
who never contribute anything. not even
by their attendance. made n lease over

The street Cleaning Department al
leges that Its order is based upon an In

argued that tho injunction referred to
simply prevented the city from placing
