The CHAIRMAN is that in connection with this matter, he would like to point out that the recommendations were being carried out. He supposed the matter would be reported to the Sanitary Board in dus course. The Govern- ment were tubing steps in the matter. A special man had been toll off from the Public Works Department. He must take exception to Mr. Gaborue remarks about the report su the site. Ho (Dr. Bell) thought, and would think till his dying day, that the description of the site by Dr. Huetigan was wrong. With regard to the charge of quibbling, that also be denied. Their words were recorded, and if he mid a site-

As it is impossible to give the exact height of the houses in thans "atrests it may be taken that two-storey balldings will be less than 30 foot high, three-storey buildings will not be less that 40 feet high, four-storey Laildings will not be lens that 60 feet high, and in many cases they will probably excoed these measurements."

EDUCATION IN HONGKONG.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "DAILY PRESS," Hongkong, 20th March. SIB.--It is really surprising to notice how some people have the audacity to think that they know better how to govern than those who are in power here. Just fancy, Europeane clamonring to have schools whore their children may be elusated according to European ideas, suhols where their children may be imbued from their very youth with that wonse of freedom and righteousness which solely associa tion with their own race can give! It is menstrous to think that in these day of progress, in other parts of the world; we should pretend to have in this colony institutions on modern lines. This colony if it is progressing, is not progressing through the enterprise of the white face. If it becomes a great manufacturing centre, as the prophets predict, it will be all owing to the native race. How can the white race expect any privilegea? Europeans should think it o great honour if they are allowed to reside hero. It would be batter for the colony if they were not here, the official clues would then get on much better.

In reading the discussion which had taken place in the Council he was much onial Secretary enclosing the following report surprised to res that very old worn-out of the Deputy Superintendent of Police on the argument brought forward by one of the scavenging of the iusts in Kowloon (
unofficial members of the Council that he did not know it had been proved that timewash ing was a good preventative against plague. He (Mr. Osborne) thought they had fully thrashed out that matter, and had sufficiently educated the intelligent public to their way of reasoning,
far as they would understand that the limewashing itself was not carried out with any idea whatever of
preventing plague, but with the sole aim and object of enforcing cleanliness. Without litewashing it was in possible for the inspectors to know which hous had been cleansed and which had not, and until they saw somo white mark they were not assured that the law had been complied with. That was one of the nafortauate circumstances which illustrated how powerless the Board waste do anything effective ofitsown accord. They were confronted at the present moment with twe very fatal epideics-mallpox and plague--and in their best endeavours to prevent the spread of the diseases they had suggested taking pre- ventative measures beforehand, Among them measures there was one which was recommended by the Medical Officer of Health, and that was the limewashing of the native villages. In small detail of that sort if there was way ons in the colony capable of giving an opinion, if there was any one whose counsel and advice should be valued, it was that of the Medical Officer of Health. If ho said limewashing was necessary, that should be sufficient to have it done. He tiaght it was most discouraging to the Bourd after all the difficulties and trembles, they had had to contend with, to find the Legislative Council unanimously rejecting their recommendations on that point.
During the past three weeks I have been frequently at various hours of the day over all the roads and streats at Kaumuti, Teimshatsui, and Hanghow, and onoo to Taikoktai and Fuk Tinn Heang, The sidewalks in all the main streets are always very fairly clean and rezark- ably free from obstraction. Once only in the sidewalk of Reclamation Street, Yaumati, have seen some fokis taking a mool at a nail table in the sidewalk, and that was at a time when there was practically no trafic there, sud once I saw a
વા basket of orange poul put out to dry. Itinerant cobblers, tinkers, and seamstresses munt here and there on the sidewalks, and occasionally one sees a shopman sitting on a stool a few inches outsile hit door, but the obstructions are not such as to prevent the avenging contructer doing his work or to materially Inconvenience passengers. Firewood, tuks, &e are stomotice to be seen temporarily on the side walks, but in every case I saw they were on the artreme outer edge between the somadah pillats where a one walks. The abers remarks apply only to the main streets. The case of some of the short gross stroots is different. Some of these, particularly Second Street and Bi Hung Lane, Youmuti, have their sidewalks (if such they can be called, where no one ever does or would walk) monopoliad by hawkers, but the streets are not obstracted and there is not ranch traffle in them. In the main streets hawkers do not squat on the sidewalks but over the side channels and into the streets, Ás regards the state of these channele I found then goterally clean in Yanmati, not so good in Kanghom, bad in Taikoktami, and worse in Fak Tun Houng.

Parts of some streets are obstructed by building materials and debris, but only where building operazions are in progress. I don't know where Major Brown's handy latrines are, and I did not see any such places on the sidewalk."

THE NEW WESTERN MARKET. The SECRETARY read the following etter from the Government on the subject of the now. Western Market:44 12
With referenes to your letter No. 27 of the 7th February. I am directed to acquaint you. for the information of the Board, that it is the intention of Government on the completion of the new market on the site opposite the present Harbour Office, and on the completion of the Do Harbour Oftes, which buildings will be proceeded with simultaneously, to convert the existing Harbour Ofes into a market, which, with the new market continued, will afford about 210- stalle as against 149 in the existing Western Market.
No change in the existing Western Market can be made until the above works are com- pleted and if it is then found that still more market accommodation is required in this part of the city, the question as to what portion of the old market site should be reserved will be referred to the Sanitary Board for its con sideration. The large area to be reclaimed in front of the Central Market containing 22,400 aquaro fest is at present considered as reserved for a new fieli market.”-

In reply to His Excellency's minntes I re- gret to say that the mortality returns for the separate health districts of the city afford no reliable information for this purposes of com- parison, owing to the fact that no less than per cent, of the total deathie opeurring in the city (1,527 out of 4,371 in 19.0) are returned from the French and Italian Consuls, and I have no means of allocating these deathe
