PUBLIC HEALTH.

At the meeting of the City Council last night a letter was received from the district health officer (Dr. Purdy), thinking his worship the' Mayor and the Council for their expression of approval of the prompt- and effective steps taken in connection with the recent outbreak. He also thanked the Mayor and Corporation for the loyal co-opera-tion and assistance given to him in the discharge of his duties, and specially mentioned the services rendered by tho city sanitary inspector (Mr. Haynes). He was pleased to say that although they had had other cases under observation there had been no further cases of septicaemia in the town or district, and after the necessary sanitary measures had been carried out in. Lower Queen-street, unless there was a sporadic case imported, he felt fairly confident that the stringent measures taken in this ease had removed for the present time any immediate danger of the disease making headway in Auckland. On the motion of the Mayor the letter was received. The District Health Officer forwarded a certificate under the Public Health Act, 1900, and its amendments, re the insanitary condition of the building situated on the western side of Queen-street, and numbered 73 and 75, and known as the Bradford Buildings. On the motion of the Mayor, the action of the Town Clerk in giving notice to the occupants of Bradford Buildings was confirmed.
