WAS THE SMALLPOX SUPPRESSED?
Persistent rumours are afloat in Auckland that the smallpox outbreak was never stifled, but that particulars were suppressed, in the interests of profit and the Exhibition. It will be noted that the rigidly enforced mandate of the Health Department: that Maoris were not to be allowed in town without a permit: has been suspended to enable the “ authorities ” to make a better show of enrolling a large army of specials. It is to be hoped, in the interests of that public the daily press so often mentions, that every step will be taken to ensure the immediate stamping out of this horrible disease, even if the extreme step of sending all the specials back has to be resorted to.
