In 1899 I went home on leave and during my
absence in 1900 a popular agitation was raised against the
Government on account of the continued prevalence of plague and
of the fact that several Europeans had been attacked that year
by this disease.

It was stated "that the Sanitary Department
was inadequately staffed, the system of drainage was unsuitable,
that if plague, malaria and kindred diseases were to be stamped
out money must be spent, the Government must not help sacrificing
its revenue and the wealthy landlords their incomes".
A great bid was made that year for the
establishment of a Municipal Council for the City of Victoria.
The result was that two Commissioners were
appointed, I was recalled from leave and in the Winter of 1901-
1902, on the recommendation of Professor Simpson, a general
cleansing of the City was effected by the Sanitary Staff.
The Staff was increased by the addition of
two Assistant Medical Officers of Health and five Senior Sanitary
Inspectors were obtained from England.
