SIR,
Government House, St. Lucia, 19th June, 1916.
I HAVE the honour to state, for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that, after consultation with Your Excellency, I have dissolved the present Local Advisory Committee of the Ankylostomiasis Campaign and vested its functions in the Board of Health for the Colony, which has now, therefore, become the Advisory Committee.

The campaign is being conducted on well defined lines under Dr. Branch, in consultation with the Administrator, and under periodical inspection of the Director for the West Indies. Any extraordinary sanitary measures required by the campaign must necessarily receive the consideration of the Board of Health, and the campaign generally is the subject of interest to, and attention by, that body. An additional Advisory Committee, therefore, seemed redundant, and only added to the amount of the already heavy mass of correspondence passing through the Government Office without proportionate results.
add that I am sending a copy of this despatch to the Director of the West Indies, for his information, and another copy to the headquarters of the Commission in New York.
