The main reasons which have led to the introduction of the Bill are the unsatisfactory position of public vaccinators at the present time, the abuses which have been "found to exist in the general system "of vaccination in the Colony, and the -necessity of providing a regular method af vaccination for intending emigrants which will be suitable to the requirements of the countries or colonies to which they are about to proceed. The opportunity has also been taken to introduce a number of other *changes of varying importance, some of which have been adapted from the provisions of the Straits Settlements Quarantine and Prevention of Disease Ordinance, 1915.
