D. 0. No.
Dear Weightman,
With reference to your D.0.No.^/9 dated the
8th August 1939 about the work of the malaria
Committee, the following progress has been made;-
1. Steele is experimenting in a water scheme.
He has linked several wells together and is now
putting dov/n pipes to some points in the centre of
the town^where previously there was no water supply.
These points are to be fed from the combined supply
of the four wells. It is too soon to say whether
the scheme will be success but if it works it can
be adapted in other parts of the town and will enable
us to provide water points in neighbourhoods which
are not served by wells.
2. The Hatchery was completed some time ago and
is full of fish.
3. Vertical drainage has, for the time being,
been abandoned. It was only partly successful in
one place.
4. ^ Kozaibi, Mansoor al Arayth, Shaikh Ali bin
Ahalifah bin Daij and Syed Hashim have been invited
to become members of the Committee.
5. The map is not ready yet.
Davenport Jones has been appointed as Secre
tary of the Committee.
The drain from Palace garden to the sea is
almost complete and appears to be very effective.
I enclose a note from Steele.
Yours sincerely,
H.Weightman, Esquire, I.C.S
H. B. M T s Political Agent,
Bahrain.
