growths. The works originally cost £23,057. The annual installment 
of nterest is £1,563.15, which is met by the boroughs of Leamington 
and the parishes of Milverton and Lillington, in proportion to their 
ratable value. The working expenses amounted last year to £1,046, 
less the £450 paid by Lord Warwick. 
MILK TRANSMITS INFECTION.—The Sanitary Record (English) states 
that at Jarrow 34 cases of typhoid fever suddenly broke out in a limited 
district, in twenty different families, the cases being mostly confined to 
children. The houses, with two exceptions, were clean and well sup- 
plied with pure water. It was discovered that all the families received 
their milk from the same farm, which was at once visited. Six of the 
farmer’s family were down with the fever. The water used in the dairy 
was from a wellclose toa cesspit, and evidently contaminated by soakage, 
as it became putrid in two days after drawing from the well. The dairy 
was also used as a wash-house and the linen of the sick persons of the 
family were washed in it. The person who milked the cows was in con- 
stant attendance upon the sick. The nuisance was promptly detected 
by the health-officer and immediately abated.
