Mosquito Control Up To Date In Cambridge
A Cambridge Citizens Mosquito Control Committee formed by the League of Women Voters raised funds and started a city mosquito program led by William W. Davis. The effort drained land at Cambridge Cemetery and oiling revived at pits and basins across the city, uncovering many breeding sites and prompting residents to empty receptacles. An appropriation totaling $1500 funded two months of work, with a push for continued city effort and an inter-community project to curb Cambridge mosquitoes.
