Colony The Sanitary Authorities might bring notices of the kind above referred to
under the special consideration of the Sanitary Inspectors and subordinate staff, and should request them to use every effort to ensure the carrying out of the measures recommended for the prevention of malaria. It should be observed that the De- partment has already taken action in that sense over 18 months ago, and that the reorganisation and increase of the staff which is indispensable would materially assist in permitting the application and supervision of these measures.
(g.) This recommendation should be carried out by making the necessary alter- ations, and the required improvements to the buildings of the Barkly Asylum, the Lunatic Asylum, the Prisons, and the Reformatory, where the experiment, or rather demonstration, could be carried out with the help of an intelligent and competent staff.
(h.) This suggestion might be extended as indicated in my remarks on (b). The mosquito wire gauze netting should be rendered available at the minimum cost to encourage its purchase and extensive use.
(i.) The advice is excellent, but does not concern this Department, as we have no occasion to make such recommendations.
