The President submitted correspondence the report from the Scleet Committe appointed to consider the best means of dealing with the present insanitary con- dition of certain lanes and passages which are used in common by two or more tenants, action upon which had been postponed for three months.
The PRESIDENT now proposed that the question be adjourned sine die.

TOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that
of the Dispensary. This Dispensary is colled to "Sham-sui-po Chinese Public. Dispensary," and is established in the interests of the populace of the district. It is the first Chinese Public Dispensary ever built for the purpose in New Kow loon, New Territory, and it is conducted on the same lines and under the same re gulations as the Chinese Public Dispen- saries in Victoria. The advantages it will afford, are known to everybody, and 1 have no need to dwell at length on them. The idea of this Dispensery was first mooted by Mr. Yau Sui Chi and myself and the Kaifong of the district, and was taken up by Mr. Brewin and Mr. Halli- fax, Secretàries for Chinese Affairs. Subscriptions were started in July, 1011, and at the end of the year-a period of about half a year-they amounted to not more than three thousand dollars, of which, however, only $700 were collected. Owing to the meagreness of the district and the poverty of the populace, we have had great difficulty here in raising sub- scriptions, much more than in other dis- tricts.
Fortunately, however, a site was grunted by the Hongkong Government, and the expenses incurred in the con- struction of the Dispensary, which con- sista of three buildings in a row, were kindly borac by Mr. Cheang Fat Sz The architect, Mr. Colbourne Little, alan aubsoribed a half of his fees, and all
