The windows looking out into the proposed alleys (for ventilation and light) would be kept closed and the alleys themselves, not being intended for uss as thorough fares, would be made receptacles for the deposit of refuse and filth which would, beyond question, be suffered to accumulate to an extent in itself dangerous to health.

There is something naive in the remark that the proposed plans were not in any way deficient, in regard to sanitary re quirements, from a Chiness point of view, but when the memorialists proceed to talk of the proposed alleys being made filth, that would be suffered to agoumglate receptacles for the deposit of refuse and to an extent dangerous to health, they are making assertions anything but are ditable to the sanitary authorities of this Colony.

Is not the memorial alghed, we may ask, by those well-to-do Chinese who can afford to dabble in building speculations, and whose object is naturally to make as much profit as possible by building the maximum of house accom madation on the minimum of ground?" The policy of the Government ought unquestionably to be to require Chinese speculators to build decent houses, on proper sanitary principles, and to seer that they use them a little less like savages, and a little more like civilised beings. There is no fear that the Chi nese will be driven away from the Colony, Möst merchants here complain that they exhibit rather too strong a tendency to gravitate towards places where a few. dollars are to be made.
