that it was annoying people. He got rather a short
answer back, and I dont think he came to you on the
subject. You would not recommend such a process again ?

We get the Chinese to do the work themselves, and wo
supply then with hot water and Jeyes Fluid, and after
they are cleansed by the Chinese, the idea is to
sprinkle the floor and crevices. It is one table spoon
full to a gallon of crude phenyl. It is a very good
pulicide, kills fleas. It is a corrosive too, and very
oily, and it is preferable to be laid down by the
Sanitary Staff than by the tenants. They have to lay
all their things out, and you dont do it until after
the floor id dried.

But it seems to me that the general complaint about 6476
cleansing in the past is the way it has been done, and
the harsh treatment of the Chinese, Cant, as this is
being done again, a little more supervision be given
over the Inspectors by the M. O, H. even if he neglected
the other work, to curb the Inspectors ?
If I was M. 0. H. I should go round more.

Is there any reason why he should not go round more ?
Except that he is doing the work of two officers.
That brings another point to my mind, that we should 16478
never have less than three Madical Officers of Health
in the Colony at one time.
A.
There are two.

And one in Victoria cannot do all the work ?
