ILLNESS IN PUKEKOHE

(To the Editor.) Sir,--Can there be any wonder thit !.*y by day illness is increasing in Pukekohe when we see parents and (1 ildren from inferred houses goioL' about their ways in the ordinary curse of things ? That this should he allowed and infection thus passed on makes una wonder what the Health Department ii doing. When a case is reported I understand one of the Department's Inspectors arrives on the scece and issues instructions for isolation. His duty is apparently then finished for be g,es back to Auckland and it becomes no one's business to sw tint his orders are canied out. Ido not wish to bean alarmist but as the h< ad of a family and if Pukekobe's goo 1 name is to bo preserved I think ugly facts should be faced and every Possible endeavour D'ade to check the progress of the di-ease. To my mind it is advisable that an Inspector from theD-partrnent >h,ull be temporarily stationed in Poke kohe in preference to Hi ting and cursory visits only being as now made. lam, etc, ANXIOUS.
