What promises to be the
largest and most important
gathering of municipal officials
and asphalt contractors, pro-
ducers, engineers and chemists
Of the United States and Can
ada that has ever been held, is
scheduled for Washington, D..
c., November s to II next,
under the joint auspices of the
American Society for Municipal
improvements, the Asphalt
Association and the Associa-

The object of the meeting will
be to discuss for mutual benefit
program Of municipal i'm

will make North American cit

GASOLINE IN NEW JERSEY.
philadelphia Ledger.)

The secretary of the New Jersey
League of Municipalities advocates
the financing of the States high
way construction program by
means of tax on gasoline. The
plan is sound and equitable, and it
is surprising that our neighboring
State has so long refrained from
seeking revenue in this manner.
Upwards of $1,000, 100000 year is
being spent in the United States
on road Improvement; the country
has 100000 miles Of paved or sur
faced roads, with 10000 miles be-
ing added annually While this
work is of economic value to the
whole population, the direct bene-
fits are enjoyed by motorists, and
it is no more than just that they
should contribute to the cost. AS
a matter of fact, automobile license
fees and gasoline taxes provide IS
per cent Of the enormous sum
needed.
Pennsylvania and many other
States have long been deriving
great revenues from levies on sales
of motor fuel. The method is con-
sidered fair, because it exacts pay
ments precisely proportionate to

Tells of Mosquito Cure.

| To the Editor:
Dear Sir: People leave plenty
of water in rcceptacles in their
back yards, and then kick about
the mosquito. If you went to breed
mosquitoes, shat is an excellent
way to accomplish the task.
The mosquito leaves its eggs in
stagnant water, where, heated by
the warm sun, they hatch into
'wrigglcrs," which continue to
grow in the water until they change
into our enemy, the mosquito.
These "wrigglers" squirm up and
down in the water, but they must
have fresh air, and breathe. They
do this by means of a tiny tube
which they thrust above the 'sur-
face of the water.
If you want to get rid of the
wriggler, which will be a mosquito
in a day or two, pour a little Oil
on the surface of the water. The
oil will form a film which seals
the surface of the water against
the little air tube of the wriggler.
Failure to get air causes him to
drown
1t would be a surprise to many
Mainland residents if they knew
the large number of mosquitoes
that breed in neighborhood be-
cause of one or two careless home
keepers. Enough to make an en-
tire block miserable will result il
oil is not used on water left in
cans, etc, in the rear of proper
ties.
The Atlantic County Mosquito
Commission aids in getting rid of
the mosquito through inspectors
who are placed on the Mainland.
These inspectors are supposed to
visit each property and give warn
ing when mosquitoes are breeding,
as well as to explain TO hOusekeep-

CHEAPER TO BATTLE.

Another slump in the price
of bathing suits and bath house
hire marks the history of the
bath house keepers plan to
boost the prices in several of
the shore resorts. lnclement
weather together with the in
crease in the number of bathers
who use their cottages to battle
from has brought about the re-
duction in prices. The bath
house proprietors have felt the
loss of business in the resorts
where there is large cottage
community and to meet this
loss many of them put up prices
this year with the hope of the
increased prices making up
their losses. The reverse was
true and there was a further
falling off in business.
Real estate men report an
unusually heavy demand for
cottages for the month of Sep
TENDER. Many owners vacate
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1926-09-03

soon after the first of Septem-
Der, and in vacating before
Labor Day are able to get very
good rental prices. Those who
try to rent after Labor Day find
they are obliged to sacrifice
much in the matter of prices.
September is one of the best
months along the shore. The
water is warmest then, and the
summer glare has gone out OF
the sun. Besides all this, fish
ing is at it's best, and the wo-
men are joining the army OF
fishermen more and more ev-
cry year.
