Horowhenua Chronicle, 12 July 1915, Page 3

The Premier (Right Hon W. H. Massey) and the Minister for Public Health (Hon. It. H. Rhodes) paid a flying visit to Levin yesterday. They inspected the troops quartered in Levin and gave directions about their comfort. Levin School Committee will hold a special general meeting tills evening, in the 1. M. C. A. rooms, to discuss the closing of the school (withoufflieir knowledge) to permit of some of the troops in Levin ibeing quartered therein. Opinions have been expressed that one fjOtJie .public halls should have been Imaged, and the deprivation of the school children from education facilities, thus have been avoided. The investigation being made by the bacteriologists into the nature of the bacillus which has worked such havoc among the soldiers at Trentham has not yet disclosed the slightest ground for the alarmist rumours current a couple of days ago about the outbreak of some virulent disease there necessitating the immediate removal of the men (says the Dominion). It is an 'admitted fact v that measles has appeared in an especially malignant form, and that the influenza has also been of a type, but no proof has yet been discovered of the existence of any ,otliL ! i* disease. The investigations are still proceeding. ■M——M—Beat
