TIKE PAY OF SANITARY INSPECTORS, A letter from the Acting Colonial Secretary was read to the effect that the application of the Sanitary Inspectors for an increase of pay had been duly considered, and regard being had to their length of service, as compared with that of Inspectors of Police of the first and second-class, it was found impracticable to accede to their After some dictission the Vice-President said that were servants of the Board able to represent that bad they remained in the police force they would have attained to the rank of second class faspectors their applications. would have met with more consideration. At the present time the Government did not see its way to do anything in the direction sought by the applicants. DIGFASED CATTLE ON A RUSSIAN TRANSPORT,
The Sanitary Superintendent's report for November was laid no the table. One of the paragraphs stated that on the 8th November Information was received that the cattle on a Ruslan transport (the St. Petersburg) were suffering from disease. Ons animal died and was buried ca shore, the others were killed by erder of the commander and the carcases towed out to sea. The disense was supposed to be pleuro-pneumonia. The animals were shipped at Vladivostock.
Mr. Ede said the burial of one carckas on shore, before the sanitary authorities had any thing to say on the matter, was not the right thing. It ought to have been taken out to sea like the rest. Who authorised the burial-the commander on his own account?
The Secretary shid he believed it was done by the people on board the ship, The animal died in the morning, and he got information' about noon that the Interment had taken place. There

The brokers in Singapore are, says the Fre Press at last moving in the matter of forming an Association anal to-day, a circular letter has been sent out to those who practise in that branch of business inviting views on the subject of co- operation with the above object. The two chief suggestions that are made in connection with. the proposal concern the public on the one hand and the brokers on the other. At present the question of commissions is entirely und fined, and brokers may, and do charge, whatever rates seem right to themselves. Such an Indefinite state of things claerly teaves the way open to great im gulrity in the carrying on of to obviate share business, and in order the objections arising from this it is proposed regarding rates of commission and publish the rates agreed upon for the information of the Investing or share-dealing public. The other important suggestion is that there should be a Committee, say of three, who would not only act generally as the representatives of the associa tion in matters where their interests were con- cerned, but would act as a sort of arbitrating

The body of a murdered woman, with her head nearly severed, was. found in by-road at Hampstead on the night of the 23rd October last, and an infant child subsequently identified as hers was found dead not far from the spot. The newspaper report of the discovery caught, next day, the attention of some relations of a Mrs. Hoge, the wife of a furniture remorer, she having left home that same evening with the child, and having never been head of afterwards. On the dy before the murder, the deceased had received tence, asking ber to make a call.

in connection with the relations of brokers to their clients, the subject might be referred for adjudication. By the rules and regulations which the Association would draw up for its guidance and working, due care would be taken to provide for the exclusion from the benefits and prestige of membership any broker who. should be proved to have acted in such a way as 10 have been guilty of gross "unprofen sional" conduct.

the connection with
Association would vouch for their trustworthiness. Such an Association an that projected would have stood in the way of the extensive amateur brokering that was indulged in about the height of the mining share boom here, greatly to the detriment of the regular brokers, and to the derangement of the legitimate share market. Sould the Singapore brokers succeed, as it is to be hoped they will, in coming soon to an agreement about constituting an Association, it would be a proper thing for them to invite the Government to give them as indication as to the precise policy propourd to be embodied in the legislation that is understood to be in pre- paration on the subject. It is obvious that any view formulated by a representallye body like the Committee of the Brokers Associa tion would meet with more respectful attention than the tray views gathered from Iresponsible
units. There is but little doubt that bad the brokers formed an association working under a body of sound rules, approved of, sw, by the Chamber of Commerce, and honestly admini- stered by their own Committee, there would probably have been no present talk of legislation and indeed it is as likely as not that the pro- posed Association will be able to achieve for itself and the publle the greater part of the protection against abuse than could be provided by the law.
