THE SECRETARY OF STATE to THE GOVERNOR.
(No. 239.) SIR,
Downing Street, 22nd September, 1916.
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 261, of the 16th August,* forwarding reports on the ankylostomiasis campaign in Antigua, which I have perused with interest.
2. I am glad to note that your Government recognizes the importance of securing the observance of the local sanitary regulations if the present campaign is to have any permanent value, and in this connexion I approve of the expenditure of a sum not exceeding £30 on cleaning villages and making latrines.
3. I have to observe, with reference to my despatch No. 186, of the 14th July,t regarding the appointment of Mr. A. E. Charles as Sanitary Inspector, that para- graph 3 was written under a misapprehension, and that, if Mr. Charles's duties will be those of enforcing the sanitary regulations of the Antigua Government, his salary will, of course, form a charge on Antigua funds.
I have, &c.,
A. BONAR LAW.
2. There is a marked reduction in Nos. 2 and 3, the two districts which have passed through the hands of the International Health Bureau:-
The East Bank, from March, 1914 March, 1915.
The West Bank, from January, 1915-September, 1915.
3. These results are not to be attributed to the work of the International Health Bureau alone, since during 1914, 1915, and the present year, active work has been carried on in the same area by both the Public Health Department and by the Baby-Saving League.
