Mbsquito breeders in Americus
who faced Recorder Hollis Fort
were each given fines of $lO ami
warned that a second appearance
before him on similar charges
would mean a fine of just double
that, amount. Among those fined
were both white and negro bu in .
men and residents, on whose prem
ises mosquito breeding places w e
found. There were a number of
these defendants, whose name.' ni
withheld in consonance with The
Times-Recorder's policy to give full
details of the progress of the work
without naming individuals.
Special Officer J. C. (Arrington,
at the conclusion of his third
round, presented Dr. J. W. Cham
bliss, city health officer, with the
evidence of mosquito breeding
places he found. This evidence v. ■
in (he form of bottles filled .with
water captaining the larvae of mos
quitoes, and labeled with the loca
tion. and premises where found.
In every instance, Dr. Chambii
preferred charges against the of
fender, and these were heard Fri
day 'before Recorder Fort.
Dr. Chambliss, speaking of th<
cases today, said he regretted the
necessity'for making cases again t
any resident here, but expressed
gratification at the action of Re
corder Fort in standing squardy
behind 4he health authorities in
their work. Teh practice of mak-I
ing cases' against persons upon
whrtse premises mosquito breeding
places are found, will be continued,
according to Dr. Chambliss.
