The other notifiable diseases were not represented. It is not necessary to notify cases of 
imported malaria, though it is sometimes done. There were many such, but, as noted, only 
three cases locally acquired were notified. 
The later tables give a very fair idea of the amount of infectious disease which was 
present in the town, but I do not think the returns will be (|uite satisfactory until we can pay 
those practitioners who are not in Government employ a notification fee, and so be in a 
position to inflict a penalty for non-notification. At present all that can lie done is to jirovide 
these medical men with the necessary forms and with stamped, addressed envelopes. 
This section concludes that portion of the Third Eeport for which I am personally 
responsible, and I would once again thank Dr. Beam for his photographic work, and the other 
members of the staff for their loyal assistance and support. As regard the sanitary work, 
Mr. Murray, the chief inspector, has done much to improve the general condition of the town, 
which, both from the sanitary and aesthetic standpoint, owes a very great deal to its first 
Governor, Colonel E. A. Stanton.
