MOSQUITO He told the Board that the Pest Control Committee wants a survey done. Mr. CONTROL Smith said that having another survey of the town would be a waste. He said there is plenty of material around from past surveys that is available for study. Dr. Cosgrove said they went through this 30 years ago. People were being bitten by mosquitoes and they put the pressure on the Board of Selectmen, so the spraying was introduced for the Town and it was successful.
