of this Bill, Sir, is to assimi late, as far as possible, the qualifications for registration in Hongkong to those which are held in the United Kingdom and other Crown Colonies. At present, under the-existing Registration Ordin- anco, the matter is left somewhat vague, and the rather invidious duty is thrown on the Medical Board of saying whether the particular applicant's course of study has been of such a nature as to justify his registration here. That, of course, is a difficult duty for the Medical Board, which consists in part at least of medical practitioners already in practice in the Colony, to discharge, and though, of course, their duties would be discharged with perfect fairness, they might perhaps be inclined to interpret the clauses with less strictness than they ought to, think- ing their own interests involved and that they ought to strain it in favour of the. applicant. The present Bill provides that persons entitled to registration here as medical practitioners are persons catitled. to registration in the United Kingdom by the General Medical Council, persons. holding the degree of the University of Hongkong (Medicine and Surgery), and persous holding any degree in Medicine, or a degree granted in Europe, United States, and Japan, provided these degrees are recognised as entitling to registration by the General Medical Council of the United Kingdom. Practically, the Bill provides that the qualifications for regis tration here shall be those required by. the General Medical Council in England." It also safeguards the rights of the exist ing practitioners now on the register of the Hongkong College of Medicine, and I think that no one person entitled to practice in the Colony is adversely affected by the Bill The Bill also defines what the word practitioner " means, and this definition was the subject of considerable discussion and amendment before it. JIMANOER reached its final shape. In the present form, I think it is not open to any serious
TJITAROEM objection, The difficulty felt was that laboratory assistants dealing

TJIPANAS, on their purely laboratory work, provided they did not carry on medicine and sur- gery. That clause guards these people,
TJIKINI and prevents them committing an offence TJILIWONG under the Bill when they carry on their purely laboratory work. The Bill also. takes the opportunity, Sir, for providing regular procedure for the granting of per missions to sign death certificates, and for the making of regulations to be observed by persons who are entitled to issue such. It has been the practice to allow persons who are not fully qualified, under certain restrictions, to sign such certificates, and this Bill regularises that procedure, and gives power to such persons.
Council then went into
Committee
to consider the Bill clause by clause.
On Council resuming, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that the Bill had passed through all its stages, and he moved its third reading.
The COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. His EXCELLENCY-Council stands ad journed until this day fortnight.

The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS Good progress has been made, with this work. The estimated cost was 887,000, but the actual cost was 881,000, so there is a saving on the estimate. The provi- sion in this year's estimate was $16,000, bit the actual expenditure Therefore, the balance of $4,700 is required $20,000. to complete the payments. More progress has been made this year than was anti- cipated; that is to say, the work is actual ly completed this year, whereas it was supposed that it would not be completed until next year. Thus, in next year's estimate no provision has been made.
WATER WORKS.

Provision thought that two of them would have com- pleted their studies. That is not the case. We have four who have not completed their studies drawing $20 a month, and cost is $1,140, but provision was made for one drawing $15 a month,. The total only 40, so that the sum of 8600 is re- quired on that account. The sum of $10,000 for telegraph service is a very outside figure, but it was thought better to ask for this amount war the cost of telegrams has been very Owing to the
greatly in excess of what was estimated, and this sum was thought to be ample to cover all expenses up to the end of the year.
The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC Wonks In the annual estimates some of the mis cellaneous-waterworks are not included in the sum, and against this sund certain The CHAIRMAN--These two excesses on become necessary during the year will be items which possibly night occur or the votes are caused by the rise in the charged.

During the year a new pumping when the estimates were drawn up. ;- station has been constructed, an an entirely new pumping plant has been put down: the old station had to be abandoned because, as a matter of fact, its smoke was a nuisance to the University The old engine has been converted, and is made nes of as a stand-by to the new The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS engine.
