We all know how during last year's plague builders, of Hongkong have arranged to give a hend had given notice, were as follows epidemic much extra work was thrown upon the medical staff of the Colony, and that at a time when two of its principal members,
· Doctors ATKINSON and Lowson, were away on leave. The other members of the staff certainly did yeoman service during the epidemic, but no man can accomplish impos- sibilities and the result was that outside aid had to be obtained and that aid was mest difficult to find and will probably be still mord so this year.

later, and even if they manage to support the strain it must tell upon them and result in inferior work.
Another thing to be taken into account also is the fact that it is far better to have experienced men than those who are new to the 'work. In the coming plague epidemic many of us may have to depend upon the doctors and surely it will be much better to know that we are being attended by men who have been through a previous epidemic than being left at the mercy of a who had been locally engaged to fill a position created by circumstances. A. S. WATSON & Co., with an adequate medical staff we can always rest assured that men well LIMITED.
versed in the ftreatment of plague are at hand, but if the staff has to be temporarily increased each summer to deal with the epidemic we can never be sure of having really experienced men, for they cannot be picked up at a moment's notice.

That this Council approves of the Bye-laws for the Prevention or Mitigation of Epidemic, Endemic, or Contagious Disease, made by the Sanitary Board on the 18th February, 1902. -
Under the same section he proposed That this Council approves of the Bye-laws for the repeal of Nos. 29 and 30 of the Drainage Bye-laws contained in Schedule B of Ordinanca
No. 13 of 1901, and the substitution of amended Bye-law No. 30 under Section 13 thereof.

Attorney-General proposed that "Whereas, by section 6 of the New Territories Regulation Ordinance (No. 12 of 1899), it was enacted that the said Ordinanca should remain in force for the period of one year from the date of its coming into operation, and for such fur ther period or periods as might, from time to time, be determined by resolution of the Legis lative Council:
