Notice to Local Boards of Health (Borough Councils, Town Boards, &c.).

Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, 5th September, 1892.

THE Central Board of Health, in view of the fact that Asiatic cholera now exists in many parts of Europe, and is apparently spreading, considers it expedient to call the attention of Local Boards of Health to the importance of at once ascertaining, by careful inspection and inquiry, that all sanitary arrangements in their districts are in a satisfactory condition, and that the sources of water-supply are free from any danger of contamination.
The Central Board would also urge upon Local Boards the necessity of enforcing generally the provisions of “The Public Health Act, 1876,” and its amendments, and of any other enactments giving powers to local authorities in matters connected with the preservation of the health of the people,

P. A. BUCKLEY,
Colonial Secretary,
And Chairman, Central Board of Health.
