Dr. PEARSE stated that the rubbish was not teken away because the dust-boats did not come in the stations on account of the typhoon signal having beca up. It bad often happened that inring bad weather the rubbish was not taken away, and as long as the presont method of disposal was retained there would be accumu Jations of rabbish. The only way to prevent theus would be to erect rafuse-dostru:tors in Vistoria and Kowloon. However, instructions had been issued to the contractor and the district inspector that in future when the Jast-carts arrived at the stations and found that the boats had not arrived at the wharves they must be sent to the extreme east and west of the town He added that it was not the custom of the Board's inapeot-rs to report these matters to the P.C.M.O.; Inspector rice duly reported the matter to him (Dr. Poarse) and as soon us ho knew that the boats had not come took steps to have the rubbish removed as soon as possible.

Mr. HEWET said he was not satisfied with the answers given and asked if he could mov the adjournment of the debate to discuss the matter.
