The report of the Commission appointed in March to inquire into the cause of the prevalence of yellow fever in the Colony refers to the District of Taiping Shan as follows.
In Conclusion we beg to observe that there can be no doubt that the sanitary condition of Taipingshan is such as to require the most-active supervision. It is filthy.
Marble Street is filthy in the extreme. The drain is more defective, if indeed it can properly be said that any drainage exists at all; houses, into which rays of the sun can never penetrate, are huddled together back to back. In children of all ages, pigs, poultry, and men, women live together in the same dark, unventilated rooms in apparent misery and filth, and it is not surprising that such a disease as we have been instructed to investigate should be traced to a District of this City, the sanitary condition of which is beyond all question the worst.
