TUBERCULOSIS REPORT.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES. [Per Press Association.] Invercargill, April 10. In the course of the annual report of the Hospital Board', T)r Bleakley, health officer for Southland, stated that since the introduction of preventive measures against tuberculosis in New Zealand some years ago, both incidence and morality rates have slowly but steadily declined, the present period, as far as Southland is concerned, showing a further considerable decrease, the figures being little more than half the number recorded for a similar period three years ago. There is yet a great amount of carelessness in taking elementary preventive steps. This is illustrated in the case of at least one district in this division, where boardinghousekeepers and owners of cottages occasionally let rooms or cottages to tuberculosis subjects for lengthy periods. Nothing probably is afterwards done to the rooms or contents before again letting to another party.
