A QUARANTINED AREA COMPLETED
– In one of the quarantined areas of the city proclaimed on Friday night work was carried on yesterday in order that the cleaning up might be completed in the shortest possible time. The area is bounded by Liverpool-street, Sussex-street, Dixon-street, and Harbour-street, the Darling Harbour railway line, and hence to the water frontage at Moriarty's wharf. Within it are many large business premises, and great public inconvenience, to say nothing of the inconvenience to the business men themselves, would be caused by prolonging the quarantine even for a single day, therefore Sunday was utilised. Generally speaking the premises were in very fair condition, though one or two were found which badly needed attention ; but the full strength of the quarantine gangs was utilised, and everything was done and the men withdrawn between 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon. This area will now be released from quarantine
