PUBLIC HEALTH.
AUCTIONEERS AND BEDDING AND CLOTHNG.
Yesterday, at the Municipal Conference at Wellington, the Npvv Plymouth delegate moved:—"That the laws relating to public health oj amended to make it obligatory that where a death occurs from a notifiable infectious disease, such death shall be registered before .the burial takes place." The mover spoke of an experience in his district of clothing and bedding in which an infected person had died being sold at public auction. The motion was unanimously carried; also another (proposed by the same delegate) which affirmed:—"That the laws relating to public health be amended to make it obligatory for auctioneers and second-hand dealers, before receiving bedding or clothing for sale, to require a declaration to be signed that such bedding, etc., has not been exposed to infection or has been properly disinfected."
