pasture, the work being done by
the lessons of Barrows pasture
and the forces of the Central Rail-
road and wQald only have to be
opened approx. ately three hun
bred yards from hampton street
to the Central Of Georgia Railroad
by the city.
We find along this course or
ditch 215 houses that are near
enough to be directly effected from
the waters through mosquito
breeding. Estimating five people
to the house, 1,072 individuals or
one-tenth OF the population Of the
city would be affected.
Town creek has eddy places and
some conditions in the bottom of
the creek that need strengthening
out. But with very little work it
could be made safe. Along The
course of Town creek there are
1876 houses enough to be affected
BY Mosquitoes that breed in 5his
stream, OF $50 individuals. Many
small streams empty their waters
and drain into this creek and ditch
mentioned and ii the city will open
this main avenue to its proper
depth and grade we will enueayor
to have the people or individuals,
such as Stapleton, Mailman, Bragg
Council and Sheffield, who have
approximately $500 yards Of
bitches, drain their bitches into
this stream. It is first necessary
to have this stream properly drain-
ed.
Prospect Park has plenty Of
bitches with plenty of fault. just
a little work to smooth banks and
a cleaning of underbrush will make
Prospect Park safe. We find
East of Jackson street and South
of jefferson street, with only one
exception, no natural breeding
place for mosquitoes, the excep-
ton being a stream of water going
from the Seaboard shops towards
the railroad and front of the Agri-
cultural college But west Of
Jackson and north Of jefferson
there are miles of bitches to he
cared for by individuals with only
approximately a fourth Of the
amount to be cared for by the city,
SO that portion of the city be-
tween or east Of Jackson and
south OF jefferson can be cared
for by the individual with an IN
spector to see that all vessels, etc
that hold water, are emptied once
every seven days, and west Of
Jackson and north Of Jefferson will
require, in addition to this drain
age mentioned, the same care for
the man-made water containers.

FILLED IN
All open wells that have bred
mosquitoes and that are known to
the inspector have been filled ex-
cept six. Manufacturers who use
barrels for fire protection have
learned the treatment of the bar
rels to prevent mosquito breeding.
Many, many places, too numerous
to mention, have already been abol-
ished When the sewerage system
was constructed, possibly there
was no idea of mosquito breeding
but we find at the intakes along
the line of corrugated pipes some
places where the grade is not suf-
ficient and the tubs hanging I'M

contain enough water to breed
