"FRAGRANT WATERS' MURMUR That the Praya Reclamation Urdinance bas bosn launched, passing through Com- mittee after much tribulation, and has, I suppose, been numbered among the statutes of this Colony...
That it is not often that an Act of the Legislature becomes law with the particulurs of its schedules incomplete, but then no B like the Hongkong Praya Reclamation Ordinance has ever been introduced into any Legislature pretending to sit in the light of Con- stitutional law.
That the Ordinance has been materially altered, repeatedly and laboriously tinkered, and in more than one sunse improved.
That, notwithstanding the many provisom inserted since its manorable first ap- pearance, it is almost a certainly that many conflicts will yet take place.................. within and around its four corners. That there appeared to be outward
marks of exuberant joy or of intense entisfaction when the Ordinance passed ita frual stage, and this fact might be ex- plainable by another fact-namely, that very few members had kept the run of the numerous altorations made upon it, That your remarks upon the Sanitary Board, and their hesitancy faxercise the powers given them by the Public Health Bill, were perhaps a littlererere,
That nearly all the old members of the Board have disappeared Messrs Deane and Lockhart having left; while Mesare Francis, Humpreys, Ede, sad Ho Kai are so frequently absent as to nullify nearly all the good they might be able to do.
That the newly arrived Superintendent (MX H. McCallum) Has a very tough task to so complish, ere he can master all the details of the Public Health Dill; and I notice that an Amended Bill supplements that task by adding another batch of pro- visions for consideration. That, at the same time, the Board ought nat to have forgotten the resolution they had previously passid, nor to bare need. ed a reminder from the resident who ought to have been affected by the said resolution.
That if the sanitation of the Colony in to be maintained, it must be done in a manner quite different from that hitherto attempt- ed by our Sanitary Body,
That a great deal of interest has been awakened during the laat wook in the art
of making bull's eyes and magpies, and the local Wimbledon has assumed aners moes dimensiona
That, whatever defects may have been ap
