Break In Samoa
From Our Own Correspondent Tapia, Mar. 10.
HERE have lately been a number of new cases of typhoid fever—all from the neighbourhood of the Taufusi-Saleufi suburb of Apia.
A large number of Samoans, half castes, Chinese, and Chinese-Samoans,
live in the swamp region there. The Administration has been asked repeatedly to prohibit settlement on the swamp area and to have the latter drained, as its P resen ce constitutes a danger to the public health of Apia. The land is owned by the Roman Catholic Mission, but the Administration could recompense the Mission for the land by offering some of the Government’s Reparation Estates land in exchange.
