YES! WE HAVE SOME MOSQUITOES.
In your issue of yesterday I read that . Mr. David H. Graham, research officer of the - Mosquito Committee of the Auckland Museum, experienced considerable difficulty in obtaining sufficient specimens of mosquitoes in Devonport for laboratory purposes. The reason is - simple. The mosquitoes have all migrated to ', Takapuna, where, so far as I have noticed ' - during my twelve months' residence in the ? borough, the wily insect leads an unmolested ' life. - The Devonport Borough Council is to ha commended for its timely clean-up campaign, and in the light of my personal experience . during last summer, when one could not have • a decent night's rest except under a mosquito net, it behoves the Takapuna Borough Council' - to tackle the menace in a systematic manner while there is yet time to prevent a recurrence of last year's plague.
