National Anti-Mosquito Campaign
T. Gardner EllsA^orth, president of the United Civic Associations of the Borough of Queens, is an ardent stii,^lent of resean hea for the proper ci'adlcatlon of the moaqulto pest. Some yeara ago, when the venerable Peter Cooper raade a great donation to Cooper Union for the establishment of the laboratory in the medical de¬ partment, Mr, Ellsworth was a stud¬ ent, and very naturally takes up the leading problematic topic of the day, the extermination of the mosquito. He believes In a law passed by every state in the Union where equal and aggresive work will be begun at one and the same time, ao that each state may be able to eradicate the mo¬ squito.

DISTANCE COVERED BY AVERAGE PEST BECOMES A FACTOR IN PLANS FOR EXTERMINATION —COMMITTEE REPORT TODAY,
Although departments of tho New York City government are uulted in a lirm detormination to show no mercy to the mosiiulto in Queens, the man¬ ner in which the details of extermina¬ tion are to be arranged is greatly in¬ volved. The liealtli department, the Board ot Estimate's committee on as- se.ssnienis and the law department have conflicting views.
Deputy Health Commissioner Haven Emerson is convinced the depart¬ ment should proceed under the new Hoff law, which concerns assessing property owners for draining land in the vicinity of Jamaica Bay. But he can not yet determine just where this work of continuous drainage is to be done.
"It Is very difflcult to say just now which are the most desirable places about Jamaica Bay for this work," said Dr. Emerson. "The law department saya that the lota muat be selected. It we are compelled to do that, one reault might be the levying of asseasment upon property which hardly requires such drain¬ ing. Another result might be a dup¬ lication of the work."
Borough President Mathewson of the Bronx, chairman of the Board of Estimate's committee, declarea the health department need not reaort to costly assessment proceedings, but can invoke Its police power, which authorizes it to abate a public nui¬ sance and make the_ cost a Hen upon the property.
If the assessment idea is followed, the area of asaessment will consist of only those parcels of property drained, an offlcial said. This is be¬ cause of the impossibility of defining, as Is gagie in the ordinary run of cases, just what tbe area of benefit happens to be.
"If swamps and marshes breed mosquitoes," said Assistant Corpora¬ tion Counsel Louis H. Hahlo, "tbe prevention of further breeding might beneflt the entire borough. Who can tell how far tbe mosquito will fly?"
Tbe Estimate Board's committee will make a report at tbe board meeting today.
