In 1904 the colony was afflicted with a visitation of the plaguo, which was followed by the memorable Banitary Board contro versy. Although the colony had been af awed to fall into such a lamentably insau lary condition during the long period of exclusively official control and the Fanitary Board, still in its infimey, bid fair to efact reformation, the officials said in effect Sweep away the Sanitary Board, "your Excellency, and leave everything to "us," and His Excellency suid "I ngres," or words to that effect. The public, however, did not agree, and the result was that the Secretary of State directed that the matter was to be lost over until the arrival of Sir WILLAM ROHINSON's successor. If His Excellency made a serious mistake in regard to the Sanitary Bound, however, too much praise cannot be accorded to him for the firmines ho displayed in conusesion with the coollevatrike which occurred in 1895.
