SECTION II.
PUBLIC HEALTH.
GENERAL REMARKS.
One of the most important events of the year from the public health point of view was the drought and the consequent shortage of water. The situation in the Island is such that there is sufficient reserve in the reservoirs to tide the population over a drought of any one year but insufficient when one dry year follows on another.
