This fact is also borne out by a re port just received ·from Anselmo F. Dappert, assistant sanitarv engineer from the State Board of Health, relative to a ·thorough inspection which he made of the district some time ago. Eradication to I nereaae It is also pointed out that eradication of the mosquito will become more and more pronounced as the district's program develops; as the work of adjacent districts progresses and as the unorganized territory between the present districts either becomes organized in itself or passes under thf jurisdiction of one of those now exi . ting. Assistant Sanitary Engineer Dappcrt in his report on the inspection of the North Shore Mosquito Abatement district said: ThP Rf'port "On the whole, it was found that the C'ontrol wo.r k was . heing- conducted in as s:ttisfactory and efficient mann<'r as pre:,;C'nt circumstanceR will permit. Th>"re \\as a very mark <'d difference noted between the prevalence of mosquitoes within and outside of the district and also hetween the observed mosquito bre eding within ano withnut the district. "The following data noted at the time of the investigation will serve to show by way of comparison the differ<' nce in mosquitr · breeding in the controlled and uncontrolled areas. "1. Dips made from the Skokie creek at Deerfield road, two miles north of the <'ounty line road and out::-ide of the :\{osquito Abatement district g-ave from two hundred to four hundrt·d mosquito larvae per dip. The lar\'ae were prohahly Aedes, aR no eggs could be detected. 1'hat portion of Skokie creek ~ituated outRide of the North Shore "!\fo::-rtuito Abatement district is a very potential mosquito hreeding place, and as long as it remains uncontrolled will give risP. to difficulty in certain portions of the North Shore district. "2. Dips made between the Clavey nnrl Deerfield roads about one and one-helf miles north of the county line, yielded about six per dip. The relative low mosquito production at this point, as compared to the previous !'itation is accounted for by the improved condition of the Skokie channel. "3.

For friendship or business, pleasure or profit, the telephone is indispensable ~o our modem civilization. This year the Bell System is erecting new telephone buildings in more than 200 cities. It is putting in thousands of miles o£ cable, thousands of sections of switchhoard and hundreds of thousands of new telephones. Its expenditure for plant and im provern en ts in service in 1929 will be more than 550 millions of dollars-half again as much as it cost to build the Panama Canal. This program is part of the telephone ideal that anyone, anywhere, shall he able to talk quickly and at reasonable cost with anyone, anywhere else.
