    We have continued publication of our Monthly Bulletin, and we were peculiarly fortunate in securing from Dr. H. W. Hill a series of articles on public health. These are being carried as a continued story, and on completion will be issued as a special bulletin and distributed to the profession and others. We very much appreciate the help and advice that we have received from Dr. Hill. VITAL STATISTICS. There is appended a Vital Statistics Report which is a short resume of the information furnished in our regular Vital Statistics Report. The Vital Statistics Report itself is a com¬ pilation of all the statistics in connection with our department, but our Inspector of Vital Statistics Offices is pointing out shortly general information which we think suitable for our Annual Report. We append an account of approvals for sanitary works during the year :— Cemetery-sites approved.—Ganges, Montney, Birch Island, and Port Renfrew. Sewage-disposal Systems approved.—Maple Ridge Municipality (extension at Haney). Water-supply Systems approved.—Courtenay (extensions), Revelstoke (renewals), and Saanich (extensions). We are indebted to the splendid co-operation that we receive through the Provincial Police who act as Sanitary Inspectors in the different districts of the Province. At no time has their interest failed and a request for co-operation through the Commissioner meets with instant attention. I would like to express for myself and staff our great appreciation of the courtesies that we are receiving at their hands. I would like, Sir, to express for myself and staff appreciation of the co-operation which we received from yourself, and to say that such interest lends greatly to our success. We feel that, backed by your help and encouragement, we will make continued progress. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, H. E. YOUNG, Provincial Health Officer.
