THE WHITEWASH BRIGADE AGAIN!
A REJOINDER BY MR. DANBY,
The following Teller has been forwarded to Mr. H. McCallum, Secretary of the Sanitary
Board, by Mr. W. Danby
· How,kong, May 16th, 1896.
DEAR SIR-Adverting to the published account in the local papers of the proceedings
at the meeting of the Sanitary Beard on Thurs
day last, the arst Instant, I have the honour to request that you will fay, this felter before the Board at its next meeting,
1. Before proceeding farther, however, I wish to sure you and the Board that the letter of mine referred to at the meeting, and published In the China Maff of the rath instant was (as Mr. Ede stated at the meeting) published In good faith and pro bono publice. I stili adhere
to the statements made therefo, and have nothing to withdraw,
3.I desire most emphatically to protest against the remarks in reference to myself, both to the minute cliculated to the Board by the President and yourself, and also to the statements made about myself by the President at the Meeting, and to the "animus" shown by him towards myself.
tpon
4. I think it my duty to state that when I called
the President on the rrth Jastapt I
received WAR HOT
Courteously, and had to remind him that I had called opon him as "President of the Sanitary Board," in reference to certila Information
I had received, and which I had every reason at, the time (and still have) to bellave to be reliable. and that I thought "I was doing him a good for "hy informing him of these reports, which
was done with a view to him (as President of the Sanitary Board) causing o'quiries to be made as to the truth or other be of them; au he, owing to his official position, could better and more exally do so than myself, a private individual, even had ¤ felt inclined to do so,
5. The Information I gave the President was of two kinds, one referring to the many rumours in circulation as lo certain cxICA which looked more than "suspicious," and others which I knew of and had seen myself, as to the retention of certain filegal cockletts, and the pulling down of certain Irga? cockloba; the former information was private and confidential, and the latter was not ; and it was to the former carcs only I naturally assumed the letter of the Fresident of the 15th instant referred.
·
6. The President has evidently mixed the two cases together. I regret to see from the
Board's letter to the Government that no enquiries bare as yet been made by him as to the truth or otherwise of the first information I "gave him.

On behalf of myself, Messrs. Leigh & Orange, Messrs. Palmer & Turner, and Mr. Denison, we protest most strongly against any such ganathorleed statement on the part of the President, as far as the matter refers to ourselves (by fasinuation or otherwise). I have the written athority of the above gentlemen for stating that in no case have their charges for preparing plans, etc., such as those referred to by the President, exceeded the maximum sum of $20, | and in my own practice, also, I have never charged more than that surs for similar work.

The above-named gentlemen and myself deny the above statement and fosinuation of the President most emphatically, and would look upon it as a graceful act of justice on his part to ourselves if he would withdraw the above quoted paragraph in the latter of the Board to the Government.

I regret exceedingly having to take up and resume this matier fa the way it has been forced upon me by the action of the Board at its last meeting. The original letter was published in the Press that the mode in which the cleansing operations were being carried on throughout the city might be brought directly to the public notice of his Excellency, the Governor; the mermerings among all sections of the community were "not load bat deep," and I venture to think, with all respect, that bad some of the palocipa! officers of the Board been more la "touch" with the community there would have been no occasion for any of these letters to have been
