THE FEVER OUTBREAK.

YESTERDAY two cases of typhoid fever were reported to tho Sanitary Inspector, By a coincidence ono of these was in Park Avenue, near which street the new fevor wards aro to bo built. Had this caso boen delayed a fow weeks, it would have boen, adduced as abso lute evidence of the contagion bping spread from tho now wards. With regard to this question, Dr. Stockwell has, at tho request of tho City authori ties, ox: mined tho sito decided upon, !>nd has reported aa follows :— "1 think no reasonablo objection could bo mado regarding tho position of the pro posed new building." This morning it was roporied to Mr Goldio that tho childron woro suH'oring from scarlot foyer in Cook slroet. With his limited stall' and many duties devolving upon him, Mr Goldio can hardly bo expected to attond to all matters, Now that tho dust contract has beon aboliehod, tho clangor of dirty back yards has considerably incroased. Not only this, but people, rather than pay for tlio removal of tho garbago, do not hesi tate to throw it into any convoniont hole, regardless of tho consequences in tho future In Uppor Union-street thoro is n gully which is mado tho ro coptaclo of Iho rubbish from tho surround ing neighbourhood, and hero a most decided nuisance oxista. Yot children are allowed to play uuioungst tho filth tho groator portion of tho day. Somo of the medical gentlemen thought that thoro should bo a stricter inspection of tho dairies, but Mr Goldio holds that his powors do not extend beyond tho City boundaries. As an illustration of tho old provorb that " doctors differ," may bo mentioned that Dr. Purchas is thoroughly opposed to building a fever hospital, and is in favour of isolating tho pationts in tents, and would only sond a typhoid patient to such a hospital if ho could not help it. Ho considers that the wator supply is ono of tho most important questions at tho present timo. His belief is that instoad of getting water pure from the spring heads, that the glazed carthonware pipes aro leaking at tho joints, and that tho citizons aro really getting tho water from tho gathering pools instoad of from tho springs. Ho suggests that the usual water mains, proporly jointed, should be put down to tho spring heads. Should this provo to bo tho caso the sooner tho matter is attended to tho better. Mean while it would bo advisable to boil wator for drinking purposes.

Australian Mutual Provident Society.

Important Meeting,

[Pee s s. Takaw.ua ]

A .si'iX'iAL meeting of mombers of tho Aus tralian Mutual Provident Society was held at the Trotestant Hall, Castlereaj.h-strcet, Sydney, on February 23rd, for tho purpose of considering tho pension proposed to bo grantod to tho lato Secretary, Mr Alexander J. Ralston ; and also for tho purpose ol considering resolutions oi which notico had been givon. Thore was a very largo attend ance of members, and much intorest ap peared to bo takon in the proceedings. The chair was occupied by Mr J. H. Good lot. Mr J. G. Warwick then roso in tho body of tho hall amid cries of " Sit down and lets got to buciness " aud claimod tho right to ask the chairman a question. Ho said ho should like to know Irani tho chairman whother any single by law of tho socioty authorised the granting of pensions to any ollicer. (Crios of " Sit down." Uproar.) After order had beon restored, Mr C. G. Hoydon stopped on to the platform to move the resolutions stand ing In his name, and was recoived with much applause. He moved the following re solutions :—"1. That the granting of pon sions and gratuities to retiring officers is inconsistent with tho principles and objects of the society, and shall in no case be allowed without the consent of a special general meeting. 2. That the foregoing resolution bo embodied in tho bylaws of tho socioty." Mr Heydou supported these resolutions in a longthy speech, and othor gontlem-n gave addresses. In the course of the proceedings the following "scene" took place: — Mr M'Elhone : What amount of money ha* boen paid to Mr Ralston as bonuses or gratuities during tho timo he was secretary of tho Australian Mutual I'rovidout Society, and tbo number und value of each bonus paid to him ? The Chairman : In December, IS7-1, £230 ; total, _I_so. Mr M'Elbono : The same aa to Mr Black, actuary to tho society ? The Chairman : In December, 1871, £250 ; Decombor, IS7-1, £500; Oclobor, IS7O, £1000-(oh, oh)-September, 18--, £1000 —(oh oh)-total, £2750- Thoso amounts woro all reported to the annual meetings. They woro given at tho end of quiiiquonmul periods, in consideration of extra work— (•'oh" nnd hisses)—and approved of at annual meetings. (HUses.) Mr M'Elhone; Tho samo as to Mr Teece ?

The Chairman ; In Uoccmber, 1575, £175; October, 1610, £200; September. 1851, £500 : total, £675. Mr M'Elhone : What amount of money has been paid to all the other officers of the [ society as bonuses or gratuities so paid each ( j ear ? I The Chairman: In December, IS/-, i £650 ; October, 1870, £'-,476 12s. ; Septem ber, ISB4, £4,232 2s, : total, £7,35S lis. (" Shame, shauie," and bis Fes.) Mr M'Elhone : In' what year did Mr Ralston become an officer of tho Eociety, and is it a fact that the directors have agreed to pay him a yearly pension of £2,200 or any other amount; if so what amount ? The Chairman : Mr Ralston joinod tho society in May, 1565. Tno board has agreed to allow him a pension of £1200 per annum. Mr M'Elhone : Is it also the iutention to pay Mr Black a pension ; if so, when, and what amount, and what salary is he paid ? Tho Chairman : The board has not had occasion to consider the question of grant ing a pension to Mr Black. His salary is £2,000 per annum. Mr McElhone : Tho same as to Mr Teece ? The same aB to all tho other officers ? The Chairman: The reply to these questions will be found in tho explanation of. tho scheme adopted by the board, copies of"which have beon printed for the informa tion of members. ( Hisses ) M, M'Elhone : What will be the yearly cost to the society if all the officers are paid pensions as proposed by the directors? Tho Chairman : We cannot tell that. (" Oh, oh.") Tho policies of all the officors cost £372 per annum, which was charged to tho salaries account, and duly appeared there. Tho officers to wnom_ these policies were granted had policies on thoir own lives, and gave privately to tho society a sum of £1,332. Ho believed that Mr Teece wae worth all tho othor officers put together, and when Mr Black wont away Mr Teece did his own work and Mr Black's as well. The speaker then pro ceeded to allude to a meeting which he said had beon packed by the people of Mr Joseph. Hon. S. A. Joseph wished to have two questions anewerei by the Chairman : — Ist. How far had the arrangement with Mr Ralston progressed, and whether an actual agreement had beon entered into between the Society and Mr Ralston ? 2nd. What was tho present position of tho officers of the Socioty? He wanted to know, as a matter ot fact, whether the society's officers at the present^ moment were under any absolute and definite agree ment by which they came under the regula tions ot that scheme or not. In other words could they undo what had been done- (cries of'No, no" and "Yes") —without performing any injustice or illegality ? Tbo Chairman replied that Mr Ralston had retired under an agreement that ho was to receive a pension of £L-C0 a .our; m» tlievt was a thing settled. ("Ob, oh," and ciisapptov-1.) to the other question, ibe "cleikt; at present iv the em ploy ol the society weie engaged under the provisions of the scheme. It was reported to the annual meeting, and explained by him, and approved of by that

meeting. (" No, no.") Tho board had not dono anything undorhand t on the contrary, it was amongst the members that any such action had taken placo. An amendment proposing to grant Mr Ralston a stump retiring allowance of £2,000 was movod, but was afterwards withdrawn. Tho motion was then put to the meeting, and carried almost unani mously amid great cheering, only two or three liand3 being held up againtt it.
