CORRESPONDENCE. PUBLIC HEALTH AND BUILDINGS ORDINANCE AMENDMENT.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "DAILY PRESS"]
Hongkong, May 23rd. 818-I have just received the inolosed letter from Kobe. I have been requested to forward it to you for insertion.
Iwould like to point out that the criticisms contained therein apply to the Bill as it. appeared-in its second stage, that is to say in its form when privately circalated to members of Conncil, and others for ounsideration, after the interview of the Architects with H... the Governor.I am yours truly,
HW. BIRD,
818-As is well known His Efcellency the Governor invited us with Mr. Verizon to con salt with the Government upon the various amandments suggested in our reparts to the property owners upon the Public Health and Building Ordinance 1908. After two long interviews several of our recommendations were agreed to in princip'e.
When we saw the amendments priated and read the perch of the Hon, Director of Pablo Works in proposing the 2nd reading of the bill and that, while some of our suggestions had been adopted, the wording of other amend- ments was such as to alter their meaning from that which we understood had been agreed to, In additiμ other frush elanses have been in. zerted which we had no opportunity of com menting upon. Some of these are of vital importance and we think it advisable to iske this means of drawing attention to them

The reason given is not currect. In "objects ́and reasons" attached to the bill, it is clearly indicated that the proposed amendment is introduced for improving the condition of existing buildingu..

We understood the clause referring to pay ment was to be re-drafted, as it stands, the improvemont rate may be on the capital outlay which may be imposed for 30 year.

When Colonel Seely was first elected to Parliment ho was captaining a troop of Imperial Yeomanry in South Africa. This was in May, 1900, on Sir Richard Webster's elevation to the Peerage. The constituency that thus selected him in his absence was the Isle of Wight, of which he was a well-known resident. One of his claims to popularity was that he was a member of the Brooke Lifeboat crew. As such he received a gold medal from the French Governwest in 1891 for taking part in the zorro of-a-shipwrecked - Frebol orow.

Dr. Romme, after statistici study, reaches the conclusion that a boy is born when the father is the weaker of the two parents and a girl when the mother is the weaker. Ha declares that by a law of nature the build resembles the weaker and not the stronger of its parents.
