State, county, sanitary district, city, village, and park districts are included among the unit s which will be represented at the di scu ssion s. Tt is estimated by Arthur Stringer, as sociate director of Gorgas institute in charge of mosquito abatement plan s. that an army of about 25,000 individuals are engaged, to a greater with the situation this year. While no overwhelming victory may be looked for, Mr. Stringer says, the basic sfructure for a thorough and successful campaign in 1928 is being built in advance and at t'he same time having some effect in keeping down to subnormal the prevalence of the pests this year. . Suggests Organization "Suggestions as to the organization of mosquito control districts under the new Huebsch law, enacted by the state legislature last month," Mr. Stringer said, "include the views that all of Cook county should be made a unit of control; that districts should . be formed in each of the north, "·est and southwest sections, dnd al so one consisting of the city of Chicago: and that a single district should formed be of all the territory in Cook county outside the corporate limits of Chicago. "An expression by the mosquito conference of a preference concerning the composition of the unit after thorough discussion, is the object of the meeting. Show Way to Nation "In our opinion the Chicago are:1 now has an opportunity, through the instrumentality of the new law, to take a position as leader in this nation in the matter of mosquito controt. When all machinery is set in motion the mosquito abatement should be accomplished as quickly and as completely a s it was under military t:ontrol in Havana or the Panama zone. Whe·n the Gorgas plan is applied in the area there will he tw more mosquitoes."
