In reply to a question on Cholera among the Rangoon passengers, the chairman of the Calcutta Corporation said [in Calcutta]: On the afternoon of the 13th June [Friday] the Port Health Officer reported to me through telephone that there was a large congregation of passengers for Rangoon by the B.I.S.N. Company’s Steamer at Nos 7 and 8 jetties and that a number of cases of cholera had occurred. These cases were removed to the hospital. He considered this as a serious menace to the health of the city and suggested that the segregation station at Surinam should be at once utilised for the accommodation of these passengers. This was arranged by the Health Officer working in concert with the Port Health Officer and the next day arrangements were completed for accommodating these passengers.
