AVONDALE AND THE EPIDEMIC.
(To the Editor.l "sir,— In a recent issue under the heading of "The Typhoid Outbreak" is mentioned that "the Avondale Mental Hospital was not dependent on local water supply:" 1 wish to emphatically state that this institution is not in our district. One of the first things that the present Road 'Board did was to interview the newspapers and point out that this district has no relation to the Mental Hospital, that institution being in another district, although we do not want any particular district to be burdened with that name. It should be called the Auckland Mental Hospital. Your report also gives the impression that this district has been getting its supply from the same source as this institution. This is not so, as Avondale gets its water from the city supply. With regard to this epidemic I wish to state that the Road Board is doing everything possible to keep this district free, and up to the present no cases have been reported.-—I am. etc, W. J. TAIT.
