CASES AT AUCKLAND.
AUCKLAND, April 23. Thirty-seven cases of influenza^, only one being severe, were reported in the Auckland Health District during' the twenty-four hours ended at noon today. "There is a pretty widespread epidemic of influenza in the north, and we have accordingly decided ,to close the schools in the Whangarei, Bay of Islands and Hokianga districts, for the next week," stated Dr. Mackgill, District Health Officer, to-day.. '^J can say nothing about numbers, but all doctors in the districts named are noti^ . fying cases freely. "There are one^ or two serious cases, but no more than arise in the ordinary course of miid influenza." Referring to the influenza outbreak among the Maoris at Rotorua camp, Dr. Mackgill stated that the cases were all very mild, more like • simple colds. They scarcely warranted being diagnosed as influenza.
