The Health of the City. — The Sauitary Inspector reported inter alia that during the fortnight nine cases of infectious disease had been reported to him, viz., two of typhoid in Ponsonby, two of typhoid and of scarlet foyer in South Ward, and four of typhoid in Grafton. These are exclusive of the admissions to the Hospital reported by Dr. Bond. Tho report then proceeded: —"I would again respectfully call the attention of the Council to the gully drain age of the city, and would mention one gully inparticularwhichnowreceives a large quantity of house drainage, and will shortly receive more, viz., the gully side on the east side of Grafton Road. It calls for special attention at once, and I repeat again, where permanent works cannot be accomplished frequont cleansing ot the un clean gullies can bo effected in the manner suggested in a former report. I unhesitat ingly say that if fever is generated by the inhalation of impure air, there is plenty of it in the gullies of the city on a warm day." The report went on to deal with the imperfect nature of the system of house drainage, few premises having proper fixed sinks with traps connected. He urged that it should be insisted on that all water taps for the supply of water should be fixed over sinks properly trapped. The report further stated that although city refuse had to bo removed between S a.m. and 9.30 a.m., tho contractor frequently failed to collect it until 11, and that it was often deposited within the city.—The report was referred to the Streets Com mittee.
