NOTES AND COMMENTS:
It is very satisfactory note the steady decrease in the number of plague cases that has taken place during the last few weeks, and we look forward to being able to record that the disease has once more disappeared from the Colony. We are sorry to learn, however, that the white- wash brigade has ceased work, and that the number of men on plague duty has been decreased. Too much attention cannot be paid to keeping the Chinese quar- ters of the town in as clean A state as possible, and we think it a mla- take that the cleansing work should be Captala R. Cocradi, will be despatched as above stopped, or at all events considerably curtalled, directly the disease shows signs of disappearing. That the city urgently needs cleansing, and keeping clean, is amply demonstrated by the manner In which plague has broken out yearly ever since 1894, and unless steps are taken to improve the condition of the Chinese quarters before next spring we have no doubt that the disease will again break out with as fatal results as ever.
