The principle of allowing for staff on leave is admitted in other Departments and we do not think it necessary to introduce it here.
The increase of Health Districts from Fa to 12 was recommended by the Sanitary Commission and it was objected that com- parisse of tables of statistics and, confu sion in records of survey of houses would result. These objections are not, in our
opinion, strong andugh to bar an improvement if it is useful. But if a contraty opinion is held or if it is considered that allowance shou'd be made for Officers absent on leave, then we recommend that the existing Ja Districts be adhered to but, that the principle of having out lospector solely in charge of each be adopted." This will leave a Inspectors, spare to allow for leave, etc.

Plague Inspectors are abolished and the un- authorised (o far as 1; remember) stockeeper is abolished, the number would be 22. If this post is considered essential and provides full work for a man, it could be retained and one scavenging inspector decreased.

effected in the matter of disinfection "owing to recent changes in disinfecting methods are entirely the outcome of the final report of the Indian Plague Commission which was only published in 1908, and ia, which it was fionlly decided that disinfection of Plague houses could safely be replaced by treatment with some policide. These pulicides are very cheap when compared with the cost of the ordinary dis- infectants and although they were in use in conjunction with disinfectants in this Colony as early as 1906, as shown by the attached paperi, yet we would not have been justified in ignoring the advice of the Special Commis. sioner (Professor Simpson), who was sent out from home to advise the Government on all matters connected with plague, by amilting all ordinary disinfection and using only pulicides.| until the Indian Commission bad completed their most elaborate and far-reaching experi ments on the 'subject and had issued their report.
