Feared Danger of Infection To the Editor of the "Nonrm-CHiNA Dany News"
Sm,—As a resident of the part of Bubbling Well Road, where the Basket Fair usually takes place, may I draw the attention of the authorities and the public to the danger of infection and epidemics that may very likely be caused by one of the busiest streets becoming for eight days the camping ground of traders from areas outside the Settlement, where the war has left behind decomposed bodies and generally insanitary conditions. The inevitable thick crowds would naturally increase the danger of a spread of disease.
The Council could cancel the Fair by making use of their powers under the Emergency Regulations, but should same not be feasible, it will become the duty of the Council to organize. daily disinfection and take measures to prevent overcrowding by spacing the stalls and limiting the influx of people.
A PARENT.
