§ MR. STEADMANI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether the 488 female medical officer is aware that certain insanitary conditions are complained of in the H Division Central Telegraph Office; and whether the Postmaster General will take steps to immediately remove the causes of the unpleasantness?
§ MR. HANBURYComplaints of bad smells in the north-east wing of the H Division of the Central Telegraph Office were reported to the female medical officer in June last, and a case of illness which was attributed to bad smells was treated by that officer. On the flooring being taken up a dead rat was found. Since its removal no further complaints have been made.
