Parr to a “Times” representative yesterday, has decided to ‘abolish the system of notifying the ordinary mild cases of influenza. These cases were, coming in in thou-, sands per week recently, and cost the department several thousands ol pounds, as a fee is paid for each notification. Ninety-nine per cent, oi the cases were of a very mild typo, and no useful public object was served by tho department notifying them.
