MEETING OF THE SANITARF BOARD;"
The usual weekly meeting of the Sanitary Board was held yesterday afternoon, there being present-Dr. Ayres, President: Hon. J. M. Price, Surveyor-General; Mr. J. H. Stewart-Lockhart, Registrar General; Hon. Wong Shing, Dr. Ho Kai, Dr. Cantlie, Mr. D. Humphreys, Mr. N. J. Ede, and M. W. E. Crow, Secretary.
The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed,
The Secretary stated that-a letter had been received from the Colonial Secretary enclosing a dispatch from the Secretary of State for the Colonies with memoranda from the medical department of the Local Government Board on the subject of the Vaccination Ordinance, which had been circulated among the members.
The President proposed that this dispatch should be referred to a Sub-Committee of the Board consisting of Dr. Cantlic, the Registrar General and himself, who should report upon it to the Board.
Mr. Ede was in some doubt as to whether the Board had any power to deal with vaccination.
Dr. Ho Kai thought the Board required' more- information on the point, and that it would be better to have the letter read and discussed before referring it to a Sub-Committed
Yare truly.
Subsequently to the 7th January, the plaintiff frequently applied to the broker for the 5 shares, but his reply was that the defendant had not got them, but would let him, have them later on. He says he continued to press the broker for them till May, when he fell ill, and when he recovered in about a month, he pressed him again, and then for the first time the broker told him the defendant wanted plaintiff to waive them. He never saw the defendant personally about the matter, and eventually in July he instructed Messrs, Wotton & Deacon to make a formal demand for the shares from the defendant, and they accordingly wrote the defendant on the 7th July. The broker was then called on the plaintiff's behalf, and he states that about the 7th January (he seemed rather doubtful about, the date) he was asked by the defen- dant to sell 25 Rope' shares at $48 for cash, and that he then went and saw the plaintiff who agreed to take them. Thereupon he went back to the defendant to whom he mentioned the purchaser's name, and the defendant gave him an order on Mr. Mody for the 25 shares. It turned out that Mr. Mody had none of these shares belonging to the defendant, and the defendant then offered the broker (as the broker says) zo shares which were then at the Hong, kong and Shanghai Bank, saying he would deliver the remaining 5 as soon as he got them. The broker got the 20 shares and delivered them to the plaintiff and then on plaintiff's request gave The President said the dispatch had been for him the memo, set out above. Subsequently to warded them by the Colonial Secretary and he thought they should report on the matter. It this the broker says he saw the defendant several linics and asked him for the balance; he never was purely a medical question, and he therefore denied the contact but he asked the broker to thought the best plan was to refer it to a settle the matter with the plaintiff as he had Sub-Committee consisting of Dr. Cantlle, the no shares, but that the plaintiff refused to Registrar-General, and himself, who after con- settle, of which the defendant was duly informed. sidering it would report to the Baaid. Any The baker was unable to say when this settle-member would then, of course, be at liberty to ment was proposed. The defence set up is make any remark or suggestion he thought fit practically a denial that the defendant ever on their report. knew the plaintiff in the matter at all. He how- ever, admits that the broker came to him on the 7th January and asked him if he wished to sell Kopes, and he replied that he would sell is shares at $48 for cash, and gave him the order on Mody which proved abortive. His evidence, as to what took place then is very different from the broker's account. He says o, the broker'a return he offered him, either 20 shares, for which he held two scrips. or Lo shares for which I think he id he held and scrip; and told him he did not want to split the scrip, all of which was at the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, and thereupon the broker at once agreed to take za share in lieu of the 25 shares, for which plaintiff gave him an order on the Bank, and as far as he was con cerned that finished the business. He further says, had the broker pressed him for the remain-
Mr.
Mr. Ede said he thought the Sanitary Board had nothing to do with vaccination, under the Public Health Bill. That question had already been raised, by legal minds. Could they appoint a Committee with segard to a subject that did not concern them?
The Surveyor-General said he ventured to think everything concerned them that the Gover- nor asked them for an opinion upon. They had been asked for their opinion upon this matter, and he thought the best possible manner to obtain it was to appoint a Committee of prac- tical men to consider it, who should then report to the Board.
The President said it would take a very long time to consider the whole matter before the Board. The method he had suggested would facilitate matters.

Mr. Edé, pursuant to notice, asked the follow- question What steps, if any, are being taken to meet a possi le epidemic of small-nox in the approaching cool season." He stated. that he was not in, the Colony during last but he was informed, that when the sunil-pox broke out there were insufficient micans to meet it. There was only a mat- shed, which was liable to danger, from fire, in which to receive patients, the medical staff was over-worked, in fact there was a general in- sufficiency of means to nicct the epidemic. He did not know whether any steps had been taken to prepare for an epidemic. He had heard that there had been. He thought the Board shouk have information on the matter, and therefore he hall given notice of the questions just re d.
The President said he was sorry he could not possibly give any information as they could give.. The question concerned the Government only, and no individual could give information as to what they had decided upon
Mr. Ede risked if it was not in the power of He was the Sanitary Board to take such steps. under the impression that it was. He remem- bered on his return to the colony this year he attended the last meeting of the old Sanitary Board and they were discussing some such question.
Dr. Ho Kab suggested that the question should be altered and-addressed to the Government.
The Surveyor-General thought Mr. Ede's question could be met by the President forward- ing it to the Government. He was perfectly sure the necessary information would be given,
Mr. Ede said that method would be satisfac- lory to him, and he therefore moved that the question be referred to the Government.
This motion having been seconded by the Surveyor General, was carried unanimously.
The Board then adjourned till Thursday the 23rd inst-Daily Press.

Mr. Humphreys seconded the President's pro-
that he thought that no time should be wasted in considering whether this question was their busincas or not, but should presume, since their opinion was asked, that it was their business; and give their opinion accordingly.
The motion was then put and carried un- animously.
The Secretary read a petition from the con- servancy contractor asking for compensation in consequence of his being called upon to provide extra men outside the terms of his agreement. The Secretary stated that this petition was the outcome of an order sent by him to enquire the number of men employed in the Peak district and having that number increased from 13 to zo. He did not think his claim for $50 a month compensation reasonable.
The Surveyor-General suggested that the Secretary should investigate the matter and find out what extra expense the contractor had been put to and the Board then might recommend that whatever compensation was fair should be paid to him.
STREET OUTRAGES. Tamer Batak or ri “Hostsong "Tuurgratie" SIR--May 1 call the attention of the Police authorities through your valutable colunins, to a decided nuisance and also at annoying outrage which may be seen and heard nearly any day in Old Bailey and other streets about that neighbourhood. Someumes that thoroughfare is nearly impassable owing to the lays in the neighbourhood dying their kites. Occasionally the kites come down and get foul of the heads of passers-by, or the strings of the lites become entangled in their clothing As this is a frequent occurrence it may be imagined that the wives and daughters of respectable citizens in passing near through that street often come in for worst of it. Thappens that the gentlemen who may be accompanying their womankind have renonstrated with the boy's once or twice, perhaps, but. not very often, the reason being that the language of the boys is invariably of such a disgusting character as to frighten alte men out ten from saying anything. I am aware this may sound strange, but people do not care to go into the Police Court against their neighbours if by any possible means they can keep out. The police have frequently been spoken to, but very few of them understand Portu- guese, to which class nearly all the foul-mouthed obstructionists belong. Worse than all this, the obscene language can be heard from the bed- rooms and parlours of family houses in the neighbourhood,
