Worlt of Exterminating Mosquitoes is Show¬ ing Good Progress
Active extermination work lias been carried on throuKbout Itie coun¬ ty during the Bumiuer. The salt narstieH all along ttie southern bor¬ der of ANassau County are ideal jplaces lor mosQuito breeding. Thousands ot acrea of these niarsheB are covered by the periodic high tides which oc¬ cur about every nionth, leaving wa¬ ter to stagnate on the meadows.
In order to prevent this water from becoming stagnant, ditches are Ijeing cut in all these meadows. Over two millions of feet tiave already been installed. A contract for one million additional feet hus been awarded the firm of Eaton, Brown & Simpson, of New foilt City. Work is to be started on this immediately in the vicinity of Fieeport and Mer- riclt.
The heavy laius in July following the high tides have made th^s month the worst breeding uiiie in several years. The mosquitoes from the uu- drained marshes east of Kreeport mi- | grated from July 14 to July 17 to all surrounding villages, including tho.se in the middle of the island. Had it iiot been for the drainage of

marshes near the Rockaway Penin- Kh^],., of Port Washington- John B sula the mosquitoes would h^vc been (-hristofel. of Merrick; Fr«nk m u„i the worst in several year.s such as' ¦"'" ^^^""^ "• ""''
has been the case in Suffolk tCounty. especially Yaphank, where it has been necessary lor some to leave work because of the large nunibers of mosquitoes.
Extensive anti-mosquito work is al¬ so being carried on on the North Shore. The salt marshes along the Sound are the source of a large num¬ ber of the mosquitoes. A contract has recently been awarded the firm of Kiiton, Drown & Simpson for the cut¬ ting of 40,(100 feet of ditching on the uidrained marshcH. Operations have already been started on the marshes at the northern end of the Great Neck Peninsula and near the I^ong, Island Railroad station at Oyster Bay. The mosquitoes that hret-d on these meadows have migrated to all the north shore- and been a source of annoyance. Some cojnmunities have also been affected by mosqui¬ toes from the south shore meadows, which are now being ditched.
Property owners have shown add¬ ed inierest in the work and are in many oases co-operating with the Commission aud bearing the expense on their own property. .Mr. Payne Whitnf.v, of Manhas.sct, is doing con¬ siderable ditching south of the large pond, on his estate. This has been known to be a'.source of mosquitoes. Mr. Hcrtry Batterman. of Mill Neck, ¦has also recently dltcliod several bad areas where mosquitoes were found breeding.
Kxtensivv plans are being laid for the (leaning of the large mill ponrts In Olen Cove. -The stirveys made ¦have shown these places to be sources of miK-h mosquito breeding.

.Nnioiig the several thousand con- ,uruction men now workiii;^ at Vap- liank an unusual opportunity for i. -M. C. A. service is offered. This of¬ fer is gfadly accepted and the respon- .sibility for a large program is will¬ ingly assumed. The Thompson-Star- rett Company, Contractors, knowing, the value of constructive moral, re¬ ligious and social work with their employees, are generou.-iiy co-operat¬ ing with the Association in the pro¬ motion of the task. Seven secreta¬ ries w:.l soon be on the ground v»ith all necessary equipment to provide entertainment and for such activities as will conserve the health and in¬ crease the good will of the laborers.
The Editor of the Nassau Post has received the following communi¬ cation from one of its prominent Fieeport readers, who was privi- ledged to attend the recent meeting of the Suffolk County Underwriters Association, at Sayville. on July 26. So descriptive was it of the ev*nt. that -we print it herewith, believing it to be of interest to many of the people in this section. "Editor The Nassau Post: — "The writer considered himself honored as well as pleased to be in¬ vited to share in the festivities and fellowship with the Suffolk County Underwriters Association at the Tide Water Inn, Sayville, on Thursday, July 26.
"Nature joined in the gladness for it was an ideal day. It seemed as though not only Suffolk County, but prominent men from the other parts •f New York State anil neighboring States joined with thefr Suffolk County friends to make the day a joyous one.
"Jesse S. Phillips- Supt, of Insur¬ ance of New York State was present, also Henry E, Hess, Pres. of New- York Suburban Exchange, Vice Presi¬ dents, Secretaries and Special Agents of some of the largest Insurance Companies in the World, lent their nresence to the occasion. There was scr^^rcely an Insurance Company do¬ ing business in New York Stale but was represented there; hardly a vil¬ lage in Suffolk County where there is an insurance ag<>ncy but had a re¬ presentative at the ^therlng.
"If I knew 1 woiild\ike to tell the Slim of money controlled by Ihe com¬ panies represented there, but il would be an amount almost to make you dizzy.
".Mr. Henry H. Preston. Pres. of the Association, a Veteran of the Civil War, was there leaning on his criirchcs. evidence of his unfailing loyalty to his Underwriters Asocia- lion. but he had with him his genial smile and (lieerfiil greeiin,,. both of whi<-b aided in tho joy of fhe occa¬ sion.
",\lr, A. C. l->lw aids one of .^ajville's iiifist prominent men, \'ice-l'r<-s, of the Asso(-iation. (-arried a very l:irg.- ¦iliare of the weight of the gathering. He seemed to be everywhere at the same time. FoiKetting himself en- lir- ly liis one uiiii seemed to he to make everyone as happy and com¬ fortable as possible.
"The dinner was all that one could desire.
"Hon. Henry A. .Murphy, who has .served Suffolk County so acceptably in the Assembly and who is in line for high honors was toastmaster,. Evei y expression of his was an ap- )ronriate happy one, contributing its full share to the joy of the occasion "The speaking was especially good and appropriate to the occasion. 11 was a happy dnv. Suffolk County should bc proud of its Assoi;iat:on, proud of itt; officers, proud of the suc- (-ess of the day.
Thank you genilemen for the pri¬ vilege of gathering with you and re¬ newing old acquaintances."
