The sinail quantity of %vater re- tained ini the great îuajority of the stormi sewer catch basinis in the dis-1 trict is sufficient to cause severe mnos- quito infestation even if ail other breeding places were elinîinated, it 'is asserted. How to acconxplishi the job of mos- quito control in thousands of poteni-. tial breeding places. mnaly feet under grouîîd. without extraordinary expenl- ditures of futids was just onte of the problemns facing the district, trustees. .How well. the problem bhas beenl solved is seenin h the advanice report of the 'abatemenlt;district which states that,,tieý elilnination of. breeding ini the.12,000 storni. sewer. catch basins, in 1931, was accomplished with a per- sonnel of ohé mai! and a motorcycle at a total cost. of $880. Science, of course, made. it possible for a loue mai to do the job., After experimients. involving careful checking and, re-checkiing,. it was found that the application of tar. acid oil on -the -ivalls 'of the, catch basii could be counted on to repel inosqui- toes for from fiteen tO twentv-Onle d.ays. 13%' preventing thc mosqui)toes from depositing. their eggs on the water within- the ýba.sin, there co'uld b no breeding. A smnall portion of th tar àcid oi 1, Was also found sufficient1 to k-ill any larvae in the catch basin1 at the timet. Thirteen hundred and, eight,.-tw%%ol gallons of tar, acid ou were used during the 1931 season in conltrolling this type 'of brecding.
