In order to promote the health and comfort of the public, mosquito breeding must be prevented as far as practicable in many parts of the United States. Mosquitoes breed in standing or quiescent water. In the summer of 1910, a pest of common house mosquitoes invaded a city. These mosquitoes bred chiefly in the water standing in the sewer catch-basins during the summer drought. During periods of dry weather, these catch-basins are now regularly oiled, and the mosquito pest has been largely reduced. When these basins are flushed by heavy rain-storms, mosquitoes are not produced for about 10 days. Can a practical type of sewer catch-basin be constructed so that it will not breed mosquitoes?
