the Unofficial Members will seize the opportunity presented by Thursday's Legislative Council meeting to press for an adequate health service, either in the shape of a Health Board, as Dr. Koch has been urging, or in the shape of a properly constituted and fully staffed Health Department. Con- fining themselves to the testimony provided by the last two Sanitary Board meetings, the Unofficial Members can make out aii unanswerable case for reform, and they can proceed knowing that they have the full support of the public behind them. The "China Mail" feels confident that they will seize their opportunity with alacrity.
