one neatly printed pages of last Saturday's Gaselie, yet there are one or two things i deserving of notice and calling for eriticism, There is a formal notice that the Public Works Department intends to erect latrines in Victoria on the several sites indicated in the notice, all on Crown land. This is very good as far as it goes, but not equal by any means to the public requirements. Six or eight new public latrines are urgently required at the very carliest possible date if the plague is to he stayed next year. Mr. DRURY'S report on the absence of latrines, on the foul state of the storm-water drains in consequence, and of the horrible state of the Chinese houses, is clear and emphatic. le only confirms what Dr. AVRES and Dr. Lowsox have repeated and repeated again and again. One of the primary causes of the appearance of plague amongst us year after year until it has become endemic, is the necessity under which the Chinese lie of turning every house and room into a latrine and urinal because of the absence of any General Buller has ordered that the Roslin proper public accommodation.

The Government give public notice of their intention to construct three latrines. That is something, but when are they to be constructed? Lord only knows about the same date, probably as the new Post Office, or the Governor's great bridge to unite Hongkong and Kowloon! The amount asked for in the estimates for next year is $5,000 only; not enough to finish one latrine. Why cannot the powers that be make up their minds that public latrines are necessity and that the sooner they are con- structed the better, if the Colony is to be relieved from the annual incubus of the plague. To read His Excellency's speechrat the opening of the present session of Council one would think he was prepared to set aside everything else and give effective precedence to all anti-plague legislation, and anti-plague

porting, and discussing, and letter-writing, but nothing, is ever done at the proper time and in the proper way.
The Gazette gives publicity to Ordinance 33 of 189g, amending the Rating Ordin- anck. The Government wisely adopts the interpretation put upon the word "ma- chinery in the first section of that ordinance by the Judge of the Summary Jurisdiction Court and declares, by the new ordinance, that it shall not include lifts and machinery jused as adjuncts to any offices, dwellings, or hotels, but shall be limited to machinery used for.purely industrial or manufacturing purposes, but the new ordinance goes on to say, "In making, however, any valuation of such lifts and machinery in the future the Assessor shall deduct the expenses of work ing such lifts and machinery from the rate able value thereof, if such expenses are paid by the landlord."
This is very badly worded and ahlough it is possible to work out the meaning and, possibly, to apply it to the actual facts in every day practise it is likely to give rise to disputes and to litigation.

Of course people did not linger as long as they would have done had the weather been finer, but the large attendance of last night is a speaking evidence of the popularity of these fetes, and if the night had only been finer 'it would probably have been found that the grounds were hardly large enough for the occasion. All visitors received a souvenir, in
