Apropos of China to, a groat deal is being talked just now about the increased enquiry for it in clubs and restaurants owing presumably to medical opinion on its anti-tannis_ properties. Anything like a general reaction in favour of China is hardly likely, however, now that public taste bad attached itself to the clepu, full-flavoured teas of India and Ceylon, and the present movement is probably merely a fad of the well-to-do classes.

The CHAIRMAN Aid-Gentlemen, I pro- pose, with your permission, taking the report and accounts na road, The net profits for the year amount to $13,746,50 rs against $19.291.24 for 1904. This is accounted for by the gross routs being about $80 less, and the absence of the item of unclaimed dividendu which appeared the previous year, and by the large amount expended on the drainage and other repairs required by the Sanitary Beard, whereby, you will observe, the cost of repairs was $3,700 as against $2,294. The property is maintained in good condition, and although we had a few more racancies than for the previous year we see no reason to suppose that our present rent roll should be diminished I don't think that I can usefully add anything further, but I shall his glad to answer any questions that you may desire to pat bearing on the report and accounts,
No questions were asked, and the CHAIRMAN moved, and Mr. Curnor, seconded the adoption of the report and accounts. The motion was carried.
Mr. Pets, proposed the re-election of Mesure T. F. Hough and A. Rodger a directors.
Mr. NORTHCOTE seconded the proposition, which was agreed to unanimously.

On the whole, the odours de not appear to me to be mugh abated allowing for the fact that they are always less obrions in the cald than in the hot weather. The Board's instructions direct special attention to the removal of sumps, which has been done, but in my experience those sumpa do not smail unless stirred up. The main causes of amoll is the morning sad afternoon watering with diluted nightsil tud the evaporation which takes place afterwards, To stop this it would be necessary to entirely suppress the use of nightsoil, but this would throw the gardens out of cultivation and they would then borume mosquito swamps. At present the gardens are receiving the nightsoil of a village population estimated roughly at not lens ilian 10,000 persons,

Mr. E. A. Hewett wrote-I cannot agree with Mr. Lau Chu-pik. The Board should in no case countenance the use of nightsoil in vegetable gardeus. The use of stable manure for the ground should be permitted and if necessary the warding of the Ordinance should be altered. Everything possible should be done to encourage the coltivation of vegetables required for the Hongkong market andor proper sanitary conditions, rather than flut we should bave to draw our supplies from Canton, where no Sanitary rules are observed.

adopted the wet renthod and applied the fortunately the market gardeners at Kowloon manure to the leaves of growing plauts as a "p dressing. The objection to that method was that possibly the germs of disvuse might adhere to the leures sind comiiniente, disensa.
There was also the objection that it gave forth
offensivo smells which wore noticeable at certain hours of the day when watering with diluted manure took place. As it was possible to us excreta without causing that nuisance, he thought the board might very well insist on market gardeners adopting the dry method of procedure. If that could not be done they might go further and require the exersia to

Dr. PEARCE enid there seemed to be some confusion of thonght on the subject. Ho gread that the Doard was quite right iu pnt- sing down objectiona'do smells in frequented places, but if they were going to prohibit the sa of human nightsoil by market gardeners they would do away with a good industry simply because a few people passing into the country were met with objectionable smells. Manure always smelt, and a matter whare one went, to the market garden or farm at home, one of ways

being that the English people had to buy vegetables from other countries where night
noil was used as a manare.
Mr. HUMPHREYS agreed with the remarks
of Dr. Pearce sul Mr. Brewic, and said that if they prohibited the use of nightecil it would be also necessary to prohibit the importation of vegetables coming from Canton. And to do that the Government would have to make arrangements for our supply of vegetables.
Mc. SHELTON HOOPLA suggested that regula tions be drown ap prokibiting the use of night- soil within a distance of 100 yards from a public highway or European dwelling.

Mr. HUMTERErs mored that no restriction be placed on Chinese market gaxdans unļoss they were within 100 yards of European dwellings,
The PRESIDENT pointed out that the previous
resolution runst be rescinded before that would be moved.
Mr. HUMPHREYS moved, and Mr. FuNG WA Crux seconded the repeal of the previous re Isolation, which was carried by five votes to
