VENEREAL DISEASE.
NOTIFICATION QUESTION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, April 19.

Most of the replies greed with tne board’s suggestion, though some considered that a recommendation be made to the Government to make the disease compulsorily notifiable. The Minister of Health wrote that he had been made aware of strong feeling against both compulsory notification and compulsory examination. The question of further legislation with the hope of meeting boards’ views was receiving attention. After a lengthy discussion the board passed a resolution that the subject be referred to the conference in Wellington in July and that the board make the strongest case tnat it could on behalf of compulsory notification to place before the conference.
