fever proof which it is considered possible by the proper

construction of nullahs and channels. The amounts contem-

plated to be expended by the Government in this connection (Conditions J and K) seem to be somewhat large and it is

suggested by the lessees that in order to acquire the desired object it would be sufficient to roughly train the nullahs and channels by filling in between the stones with lime concrete and rendering with cement in a similar manner to the nullah adjoining the P.0,1.0's house on the Barker Road or they may be treated in the like manner to that recently constructed adjoining the "Haystack" at the Peak. If the work is carried out on these lines to the satisfaction of

the Medical Officer of Health, it is submitted that a large portion of the outlay contemplated by the Government would be saved which could be appropriated towards the constraction and maintenance of the roads, lanes and severs referred to in Conditions F. G. and H.
