Streed of Kenilworth, whose terms recently expired, have been re-appointed by County Judge Edmund K. ] arecki, and the trustees re-organized by re-electing the following officers : Arthur Stringer, prestJent; F. L. Streed, secretary, and Paul A. Hoffman, treasurer.

The report to Director Ra,,·]ings continues: "\Vith the limited funds at hand, · the trustees decided first, on a program of mosquito control throughout the district; and, second, to undertake such permanent control measures as were economically feasible, and thus to reduce necessary expenditures for mosquito control in future years For the most part. permanent work took th~ form of drainage, and, to a lesser extent, filling. Sanitary District Helps "Aid from the Sanitary District of Chicago was enlisted and that bodY. acting- on plans formulated under its own direction, was instrumental in the elimination, by drainage, of much mosquito breeding territory. If the Sanitary District elects to complete its drainage program early in the spring of 1929, the effect of the work already done will be more pronounced." The report covers every phase of the work from the time of opening headquarters in the Forest Preserve, north of Glencoe. throughout the summer's activities of drainage. oiling and inspection work, and the passing of ordinances providing co-operation by the north shore villages.
