To the Editor of the "Nortu-Cinwa Dany News"
Sm,—You report that the Health Department of the S.M.C. are doing valuable work in clearing away dead bodies from the Hungjao area so as to safeguard Shanghai's health; but is it in the interests of our hygiene that hundreds of flimsy coffins are piled up in a concentrated mass in the heart of the residential district just off Rockhill Avenue?
The whole thing, besides being a horrible sight, is also a danger to public health, These bodies should be cremated if no other burial ground is available, Are they going to be removed when conditions permit? Perhaps some of your readers may have some light to throw on the matter, Pro Bone PumLico.
