TRENTHAM SOAK PITS
NO DANGER FROM CONTAMINATION. Jhe Mayor (Mr. J. P. Luke) has received the following telegram from the Minister of Public Health, in reply to one forwarded in connection with Dr. Da Lautour's evidence respecting the possible danger from the camp soak-pits at' Trentham:— . , 1 "Witt reference to your, telegram concerning Dr. Do Lautour's statement in to-day's Dominion with, regard to the milk supply of Wellington being endangered owing to the soak-pits at Trentham Camp, I have to inform you that 111 the opinion of the officers of my Department the question raised as to the possibility of such contamination by such means is so extremely remote tliat the suggestion may be regarded as ridiculous. There are 110 cows being grazed in the immediate vicinity of the camp, and oven if there were it would be practically impossible to contaminate their milk by the soak-pits referred to.—(Signed) R. Heaton Rhodes, Minister of Public Health."
