I pointed out that the report of the Registrar General showed that the Government derived ̈ în 1904 a-total-sun-of $105,827 from merket tos and market licences. I further pointet out that this total represented an ixereass of over $20,000 in five years. In 1899 when au increase of $6,15 was shon as compared with į the revenge for the previous year it was explained that the increase was chas to the increased rent obtained from stalls, which wore at up to tender on hing given up by theie hollers" Subject to correction, I assured that the increase of $20,000 which hail rince taken place in the roy onus was attributable to the same cause.notwithstanding that the FoodCommision Apolated in 1900 refurred in their report to myrket rents as being a tax ou food and re- commended that they should be kept as low as possible: The Registrar General has since investigated the subject and has found that the Government retenus in the form of market ronts and slaughter hon fees are responsible for an - increman of only 300.00 per 1b, in the cost of meat- It must be admitted that this effectmaily refutes 1bo allegation that the increase in the price of intohers' meat is due to excessive market rentals, and it would be intorasting to know ́exactly whad sequeezo-pidgiu is responsible.
Wo many consider that we have now practially reached the end of the plague season, and the Colony finds itself in a mora satisfactory position in this respect then, it has enjoyed since 1897.
