BUBONIC PLAGUE.
THE COMING DANGER. NEW ZEALAND PRECAUTIONS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. ‘Tn view of the approach of March, the danger month for bubonic plague,” stated the Health Minister to-day, “instructions have been given to medical and health officers in all parts that all precautions regarding the berthing of ships must be most rigidly carried out and supervised. “It is expected this will receive the personal attention of the medical officers themselves, though an inspector has been specially detailed for each port for this work. The precautions include the fending off of ships at least four feet from the wharves, the tarring of four feet of each hawser night and morning and the provision of effective hawser discs. ‘T am enquiring.” added the Minister, “into a complaint that at one port there has been neglect in not seeing the hawsers freshly coated with tar every day according to instructions.”
