The Mosquito Plague of the Connecticut Coast Region and How to Control It (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Mosquito Plague of the Connecticut Coast Region and How to Control It Just what arrangement would be best has not been deter mined, but if the State could bear a part of the expense - per haps one-half, and give the work proper supervision and insist on its maintenance - and the remaining portion be met by the town and the owner, each paying a certain definite percentage, in just proportion to the benefits received, it would seem to be the most desirable solution of the problem. The salt marshes are owned by a large number of free hold ers, some of whom are non-residents. Most of the owners, if they can be found, are willing to have their lands drained, but occasionally an owner objects, and he is thus able to block a work which, if carried through, would be a great benefit to the Whole community or town, including himself. Legislation is therefore essential to provide for the systematic and wholesale draining of the salt marsh areas of the State.
