carriage. And in the vast majority of Mr Ede was cases that might arise, right. In view of the kick, as pot, of the facilities for copious duabing, and in face of the traditional ploven- liness of Chinese servante, we are not yet prepared to meet the danger of any radical change. What Mr. Osborne says about tho inapplicability of hand-carrizge to karge establishments may be true; and when he states that every application brought bofore the Board should stand or fall according to the particular, conditiáns of each application, there is reason in what ho say. But if this policy means a gradual adoption of the toro modem modes' be- for either the drainage and water-works are adequate or safe, and before the native population are educated, up to a sense of responsibility, then we believe that the change will be condemned by all the older residents of this-Colony. The larger bongs, banks, hotels, clubs, et, facing tho baz bour may be adnitted as peculiarly situat od, and wall suited for water carriage. But Chine Road is considerable way up the Hill, and pust drain through a thickly. populated portion of the city. Mr Osborne will, doubtless, do his duty on the Board, and we believe ho will commund the con-` fidence of the community. But there are some cardinal principles in our sanitary measures, and they must be watched care- Fully until the Sanitary Board Millennion arrives. It takes a long time to come..
