The local importers maintain that Go vernment should do their utmost to en- courage local trade by placing their orders with Colombo Grins for materials required for the construction of public works, in pre- forenes to indenting for all-supplies upon the Crown Agents, and it is assorted that such a policy (namely, the throwing of the business open to competition) would prove more economical to Government, and also that the merchants, who are themselves taxpayors, have a fair claim to be allowed to tender for the supply of goods towards whose purchase they themsolves tribute. There is another section con- sisting of local building contractors who strongly protest against the present system which obtains in rogard to the construction of public buildings and other works.
COTI-
These are nearly all executed by the Public Works Department in co-operation with the Government Factory. It is argued that were Government to consent to piece-
tonder, far greater expedition and economy building contracts with privato firms by
would be sec red, and loca industries greatly fustered. My Committee are some what in sympathy with the above argu- ments, but are not confident that a move- ment assailing the Crown Agents' system, the Public Works Department. and the Government Factory would have a success- ful issue.

If, as would appear, it be a fact that no reputable firm would be excluded from the Crown Agent's list, the opportunity of ton- dering for Government supplies is readily sider that the extra cost to the Colony. obtainable, and my Committee do not con- through employing the Urown Agents is in- commensurate with the service rendered:
In this connection it must not be forgot- ten that the Crown Agents undertake a considerable amount of work relating to thê engagement of all British employees, such as the police, hospital purses, sanitary offi cials, and other trained assistants, required to complete the staff of the various Go- vernment departments and for which no specific charge is made,
The question of the advisability of plac ing Government building contracts in the hands of private firms has also been dealt with by the Commission before referred to, and my Committee endurse the view that public works of a special nature or of urgency might with advantage be entrust- ed to privato firms.
I am also to add that, should your Cham- bor desire a further interchange of ideas, my Committee will be pleased at any time to continue the discussion of this important question.I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully,

teaching of public health. statistics, says HENRY CLAY the Report, would appear to show that progressive improvement of the national health has storily followed the improved conditions of life which have been brought about by the advance of sanitary knowledge and its practical application. It has also boen pointed out that athletic records are constantly being broken for all sorts of fests of strength, agility, and enduranco, freto which would seem to indicate that the- physique of the well-to do classes, at least, is improving rather than deteriorating. It is nevertheless true, and the fact is a dis- turbing and disquieting one, that a very large proportion of the men who offer them- solves for onlistment in the Army are found to be physically unfit for Military service. Examination of a series of annual tables, says General Taylor, shows that the proportion of the different classes mains remarkably constant from year to year, and the figures indicate that the bulk of our soldiers are drawn from the unskilled labour class, and consequently from the atratum of the population living in actual poverty or close to the poverty line. As might be expected, the highest ratio of rojection is shown for men who have been
