Apia, Feb. 19.

A NUMBER of cases of typhoid fever are at present under treatment at the Apia Government Hospital. All these cases come from the locality of Vailima and Papauta.

In this connection an urgent request has been submitted to the Administration to install immediately a proper filter system in the Apia water supply, in order to safeguard public health. The request is supported by the United Progressive Party and the European elected members of the Legislative Council.

Mr. A. E. Howard, District Commis sioner of Taveuni, Fiji, has been trans ferred to Lautoka.
