Convention Extended to This Colony.
Although the vacancy on the Legislative Council is only a temporary one, the period of ser- vice involved is an important one in that during it the Estimates for 1927 will come up for discus- sion and both prior to and at that discussion the member elected will be able to work for the in- clusion in the coming year of works of reform which are badly needed. Most important of all such reforms, in that the need for it is pressing, is that for Co- ordinating the work of public health in this Colony, and in this regard rumour has it that the Government contemplates, carTY--- ing out certain reforms.

The Department has nobody to do its analytical and bacteriologi. cal work except that done by the Government bacteriologist who is heavily overworked even in nor- mal times. As the only way to wipe out infectious diseases is to truce the source it is obvious that either the Sanitary Department should have its own laboratory and its own, bacteriological staff with the Medical Officer of Health.
