would, therefore, suggest to you the
wisdom of being prepa pared to grapple
with such a calaea ity and at once stam)
it out.. This means providing a suitable
isolation hospital, a matter which. need
not entail very great expense, Through

e lack of such precaution the city of
Victoria, in 1892, was put to the ex-
pense of $65,000.

PURE WATER ESSENTIAL.

A pure and abundant water supply is
one of the chief essentials for the main-
tenance of health. I visited the source
of your supply on Stoney creek, and
from the information I have of the snb-
ject I ‘would advise that the extension
of thé works should reréive your
est consideration; keeping in view

honor:

Bev
existing wells, now teing freely used,
should receive careful attention at
the hands of ‘your medical health of-
ficer.

LIBERAL SEWER SYSTEM COMMENDED.

The spirit which prompted the iuaug-
uration of a liberal sewerage system is
highly commendable, but the laying of
mains and connection therewith doves
not complete the undertaking. The
point to be d ia the
dispoeal of the sewerage matter after
collection. This will demand ve care
ful consideration at your han
also that of- the
health, to the end that it may be done
efficiently and with due regard to the
interests of the city. In this connection |*
permit me to draw your attention to | bei
clause 27 of the Public Health act,
which is as follows:

that they may receive your prompt at-
tention, and thus place your to-vn in as
sanitary condition as possible under ex-
isting circumstances.

CITY’S SANITARY CONDITION.

The eanitary Condition of the city will

have an efficent rae Proxcca and an

active,

ics of disease will be a thing unknown
in your city. The employment of such
officials is particularly necessary in &
young mining. town where health mat-
ters are generally sacrificed to other in-

privy pits, the cleaning of: yards, etc.

reports made by Captain Clive-
Philip Wooley provincial sanitary in-

pector, the sanitary condition of
land was highly unratisfactyry last year,
but through bine Gelek and those of your
honorable improvements

tions above outlined ba carried: ont,

taya condition as any city in the pru-
