" Sanitary State of Weymouth.
"Bak—l am directed by bin Secretary Bruise to
transmit to you, herewith, a oopy of a further letter
from Mr. T. B. Wallis, complaining generally of the
sanitary state of the town of Weymouth, and I am to
call the attention of the Local Board to the marked
paseages as to the premiume of small-pox. I have to
remark, that as the Loral Board have the power, it is
their duty to use their power, for preventing the spread
of this terrible disarm, and that one of the most
effeotuvl means for this purpose is by the provision of
hospital accommodation under the 37th section of the
Stmtary Aot, 1866, which by the 16th section of the
Sowege Utilisation Act, 1867, is extended to Loom

of Weymouth."

"July 18, 1871.
" Ba,—When I first had the honour of addressing
jou, on referring to my letter you will find I com-
plained of three things, first of all the imperfect drain-
age of the town, drains being run into the Backwater,
which is shallow and mud, and injurious to the health
of the town, next • particular nuisance, via., & certain
candle factory; lastly, small-pox was spreading here
very rapidly,and nothing being doneby our local authori-
ties, excepting giving away carbolic acid and white.
washing and not taking those stringent measures which
they ought to as a Loma Board of Health for the
purpcee of preventing the spread of malt disease. You
have had the replies of the Town Clerk, end so far as
the remarks in them referring to myself personally are
concerned, I will pass them over with the contempt
which they as well as the writer himself deserve, for
having on such weighty matters lowered himself by
going into gross personalities. In justiot to myself
and those 77 ratepayers and others who signed
their approval of my requisition, I feel It my duty to
lay before you the following etatement, to show that
my oompLaints were well founded sad supported by
fads. The Loos' Board of Health met yesterday,
and as lam informed, were unanimous In their deci-
sion that the drainage In the Backwater is • great
nuisance, and most injurious to health, and now talk
of taking steps for the reclamation of the Backwater
and having flood gates, so that the sewage can go into
deep water, and for that purpose • resolution was pro.
posed to call in some eminent engineer. This I think
will speak for itself, and show you that my corres-
pondence to yourself, and yours to the Lead Board has
had some weAto,ijangven the Rector of the parish has
written oom of the Backwater. The Local
Board has been about both subjects for some
time, floodgates I believe as fu bask as 1866. I would
ask you to owns down and make enquiries for your-
self, and use the powen you have to compel Its being
carried out forthwith, and not end in talk. As to the
candle factory, it is dill In existence, and in my opinion
and in many others, is • nuisance and Injurious to
health. (This also on • Tilt you amid satisfy your- '
self upon.) As to the small-pox, you were told in the
Town Clerk's letter there were only two eau of burial
in the cemetery. This in itself may have been true,
but could only have been Inserted to mislead. The
town of Weymouth and Iffeloombe Regis, although one
town, is in four parishes, via, Weymouth, 'Wyk*,
Melcombe Regis, and ReAlpole. Until the erection of
• cemetery the people were meetly buried at Wyke and
Radipole, and the neighbouring parishes, but more
especially Wyke. The majority of deaths in the town
have been burled at Wyke, ono reason being the fees
are leas, therefore, if the Town Clerk had only been
candid, he would have given the full 'Utilities.
I am informed that the medical °Meer at the
Local Board meeting yesterday, which I attended,
gave the statistics of deaths for the fortnight
ending the 29th of Jane and the fortnight end-
ing the 15th of July, and that he told them there were
four times as many deaths from small-pox during the
last fortnight as there were during the previous fort-
night. Tem walls ras Boatman 1 without reference
to the cases of deaths in the immediate vicinity. And
that it was 01 1111 proasane, and there were then
upwards of 40 mace of small-pox known to the medical
men ot the town, besides those where parties kept it
entirely secret. AU the medical men have sent weeks
ego a recommendation for • hospital, and some steps
axe being taken, yet in the face of this, no MAMMA
whatever excepting these minor ones above mentioned
have beep taken, and yesterday the Local Board, sepa-
rated without doing anything, although I under.
gland the medical men stated, that the hot weather
coming the probabilities were there would be • still
farther increase. Cues to my own knowledge have
weaned where parties having it in respectable build-
ings have been removed out, and have to go either to
their own Mends or else to lodgings. People with
scabs appearing on their fuss, and scarcely recognisable
are going about the public streets. No publia notice has
been given by the Local Board, of the penalties
of the Act of Parliament attempted to be put le
force, and our town has become • by-word Is
the neighbourhood as well as in the country generally
for having the scaall-pox, sod only on Wednesday
in the Registrar-General's report,you will see it eon
with Grimsby and Southampton, as being the the,.
towns where small-pox owes are so prevalent. By •
letter I cannot go so fully into the matter snit deserves;
but rarely these facts tell their own tale, and the
'pally of our board la injurious, not only to ourselves,
but also to the neighbourhood, and I actelese extracts
from • paper which was printed yesterday; And I
trust you will consider that it Is • ease not to be
trifled with, but demands your Immediate and urgent
interference, for if the report of the medical men, and
the general remarks have no effect, you ought to
exercise thew powers with which you are invested, to
compel its being done. Trusting you will at ones visit
tbia town, when I shall be prepared with evidence to
support my statentents,—l am, Sir, yours very
obently,

WHITEWASHING THE LION AND UNIOOEN.
On Wednesday evening lest some blockheads played
a shameful trick on the Esplanade. They whitewashed
the lion and unicorn on the pedostil of the King's
Statue, giving the royal animals a shockingly WOO-
begone and smeary appearance. Not content with this
outrage they wheeled off fire bathing machine. intc
the sea, and upset one into the water. The pollee, on
disooverlag those actions were all astir, but with little
seems in discovering who had done the mischief. It
I. said that five men were soon to coma up together
from the sands about haU•put 11 last night.

" Thos. B. WiLlll5."

" Mr. T. 8. Wallis, 5, Weston ieir—asie,-- We—ym73-1-ith."
The Town Cuan said there WU no answer to that.
Mr. Wallis was not the person behind the scenes.
Mr. nOWARD said there were scores of people behind
the menet. •

The following was the Government reply :
" Local Government Act Off.., 8. Richmond
Terrace, Whitehall, S.W.
Sanitary Slate of Weymouth.
"Sir,—l am directed by Ur. Secretory Bruce to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 113th lust,
complaining of the Sanitray state of the town of Wey-
mouth. I have to inform you that • copy of your
letter has been sent to the Local Board, together with
• letter from this Department, reminding them of
their powers aud duties under the Sanitary Asia, for
the provision of Hospital scoommodation for the recep-
tion of persons suffering from smallpox and other
dangerous dlaccese.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
"T. T•vt.oit.".

The M4YOII also read the following memorial on
drainage subject, signed by 64 of the most respectable
Inhabitant., liatded by the Rey, Talbot Greens, and
including the medioal gentlemen :

To the Local Board.
Gent'emen,—We the undersigned ratepayers of the
pariah of Weymouth and lieloombe Berta, having seen
with pleasure that you have under your oonsideration
the reclamation of a portion of the Backwater, would
respectfully urge upon you the vital necessity of a
comprehensive seherne for the drainage el the town
being carried out at the same time, and that prompt
measurer should be tam la the matter.
The next business being to take into considera-
tion Mr. Austen'. sokrims, Mr. MOBILO prepaid
"That Mr. Austin's system of dealing with the sewage
be referred to the engines, appointed to report upon
the Backwater, and that he be requested to cionsider
the same in connection therewith."
