Asked of Citizens

Following the heavy rains OF the
past few days. Brownsville res
idents are urged by II. G. Graham,
city sanitarian, and other men,
bers Of the health department 10
join once more in a drive against
mosquitoes by emptying and remov-
ing any containers about the prem
ises which hold water and offer q
breeding place for the pests.
Graham states that the depart
ment has a corps OF men oiling
pools Of water. and taking other
steps TO eliminate breeding places,
but 1t is impossible for them TO
visit each home and make inspec-
tons. In view Of this fact. they are
urgently requesting each house
holder to see that this Is done on
his own place. as a few cans or
other vessels can harbor numerous
mosquitoes.
