Again placing our im-| plicit trust in the opinion of the Sanitary Board and its experts, those concerned with any likely menace from the carrying on of offensive trades cannot do other than express gratification that the Board and its experts are actually | abreast of the times and on the alert in cases of any breaches.

It must be very satisfying even to the questioner, Mr. M. K. Lo, and the Chinese of Kennedy Town, that the Sanitary Board was able to make a most reassuring state- ment at the fortnightly meeting yesterday in regard to an alleged nulsance caused by bone boiling and storage. Naturally it must be assumed that, if only one complaint was actually received by the Board, others must have been made to individual mem- bera of it.. But inquiries made by Sanitary Board officials have
stone unturned to ensure that offensive trades are permitted to
be carried on with the minimum
of "offensiveness" to others who have to live and work in the same. locality.
