Part of the minute was therefore omitted," The Vice-President pointed put that the Board had asked the analyst a question and he had not answered it. The Board at its last meeting resolved to ask him what caused the whiteness of the water, and what remedy he would suggest, but both these points he had overlooked.

Again, as to what Mr. Francis wrote. Why should it not be published? Is the Sanitary Board a pabile body, or a secret cabal? It has more the appearance of a public affair, for private agency would at least be able to obtain definite information. Bat if the Board is public, why is its business kept dark? Why is one of the people's representatives burked? Mr. Francis was kept in the Supreme Court, and could not
