The PRESIDENT stated that the opinion of the Board's Medical Offer on this question had been supplied, as requested by one of the mom Obers. The vote for nullah training was $15,000 in the 1910 estimates. The whole question in the two papers before the mosting was whether the training of the nullah near the Military Hospital was of sufficient importance to take prootence of any other works of the kind in the Colony, and was work so pressing that they should recommand it being undertaken at once, If properly trained, it would cost $3,200, but the Medical Oficer of Healthin his report made an alternative suggestion."

Most of the people who were affected by the nullah at West Point, he understood, wore Government ser- vanta, and they were constantly complaining of the effects of fever. It seemed to him that these complaints Lad been going on now for years, and hesitation in spending, say, 33,000 was affecting not only health, but life, which was surely more important than $3,000.
