។ 1.
Separately.
With reference to the Duke of Devonshire's
Confidential Circular (2) despatch of the 16th February,
1323, I have the honour to transmit fifteen copies of
the Medical and Sanitary Report for the year 1932.
Draft legislation to replace the Public
2.
Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903, has now been
prepared in connection with Dr. Wellington's proposals for
the reorganisation of the Medical and Sanitary Services
of the Colony. The Bills already drafted include :
An Urban Council Bill.
A Public Health (Sanitation) Bill.
A Public Health (Quarantine and Prevention of
Diseases Bill).
A Public Health (Food)Bill.
'n Adulterated Food and Drugs Bill.
A Buildings Bill.
Copies of these drafts are enclosed.
3.
The ground is now clear for consideration of
the position of the Sanitary Board and of the nature of
the body which is to replace it. The proposals put forward
involve a considerable widening of the present Board's
sphere of activity and the inclusion of such matters as
town planning, open spaces, recreation grounds, street
names, street lighting, and the control of food hawkers, has
been considered.
TIR PIGHT HON UF ABLE.
