At a meeting of the Bombay Municipal Corporation on Thursday evening [June 20] a letter from the Municipal Commissioner intimating a few cases of typhus fever in the city and the need for provision of proper accommodation for treatment of such cases at Arthur Road Hospital, was considered by the Corporation. The Health Officer and the Commissioner came in for a good deal of criticism for not bringing these cases to the notice of the Corporation earlier. The Commissioner explained that there was no epidemic of typhus in Bombay. Two cases of typhus occurred on the 5th May among Armenian refugees who were living in the Armenian Church in Medow’s Street and since then no more cases had occurred.
