Hon, W. Chatham reconded, and the motion for them to live on their present wages, was agreed to.
DISINFECTING OPERATIONS. Dr. Clark in terms of notice, moved "That the Board define that portion of the City of Victoria between the Conduit and Robinson Roads as local limits within which officers of the Board shall make a house to house visitation for the purpose of cleansing and disinfecting the premises contained therein in accordance with Bye-law No. 1 of the "Bye Jaws for the prevention or mitigation of epi demic or contagious disease, made under sec tion 13 of the Public Health Ordinance No.-13. of 1901 He sad-This is simply an extension of the district in which wa nro presently doing the house to house cleansing and disinfection. In regard to these houses,, we are practically only dealing with the Chinese servants'quarters and not with the European dwellings, unless of course they are in an insanlitary condition.
Hon. W. Chatham seconded, and the motion was agreed to.
THE CONSUL'S PROTEST, As reported in our edition last evening Mr. WA. Rublec, Consul General for the U.S. A. wrote protesting against the erection of a public urinal in Ice House Road apposita to his offices,
Hon. W. Chatham-With regard to the "matter. Sir. I may explain that after a leng. thened period and much trouble, a contract had been entered into for the construction of the place (of public convenience referred to by the American Consul in his letter. The intention for providing this urinal was to permit of the removal of the one which has for so long formed a source of public annoyance and complaint in Battery Path I do not know of any place myself where it can be otherwise arranged and herefore it may cause the American Consul nconvenience, and I am sorry, that it should so think the only thing is to adhere to the proposal, and go on with the erection of
le place. Otherwise, of course, it will be necessarry to find a site somewhere else, which would be attended with the same difficulty in the case of some other member of the public and the Goverment will have to sacrifice a considerable sum of money in getting rid of the contract into which they have entered. "Dr. Clark-1 (think we might reassure Mr,, Rublee that the Board have every reason to believe that the offence will not be so great as he anticipates. Offensiveness or otherwise of an urinal depends entirely upon Its construc tion Plans have been submitted to render this urinal inoffensive it will not be such a structure as now exists in Battery Path. There will be room to turn round, and there will be room for an attendant to be constantly there and unless we unfortunately have another severo drought there in every reason to believe that the urinal will be inoffensive. 1 think that might reassure him to some extent.
It was agreed to reply to the Consul's letter In the terms indicated. I
LAND. TAX.
The farmers are complaining bitterly regard. ing the increase in the land tax. About 30% has been added. This they could have paid, but the landlords have increased the rental and now want to add sufficient to pay the increased. government tax. Prices must certainly rise in order to enable the farmer to live.

PLAQUE IN HONGKONG,
Once niere India is to come to the rescue of another portion of the empire. Successive outbreaks of plague have seriously affected the trade of that colony and the Hongkong Sani- tary Board has decided to take active measures to rout out the disease and to keep it in future at arm's length. To bring this about the Indian government is to be asked for the loan of ten assistant surgeons who have been trained in plague work? The terms offered are not very seductive, being S160 a month for eight mouths together with $40 a month house. allowance, and considering the nature of the work it is doubtful if any assistant surgeon trained in plague work in India would consent to accept such terms for a few months. It is proposed, to assign five of the medical men to the ten sanitary districts in the colony to investigate suspicious deaths, make house visits and trace sources of infection; two will have charge of the examination of all persons going The President-It is necessary for the Board to and arriving from Canton and the mainland; declare Shanghai infected if medical inspectwo will oversee the extermination of rats; and tion is to be imposed,
INJECTION AT SHANGHAI,
Mr. Osborne-If I am in order, I beg to move that the Government be asked to apply medical inspection nto: vessels arriving from Shanghai. I think that is a desirable step, having in view the large amount of scarlet fever and other infections complaints that are now troublling the Shanghai people.
Mr. Osbome--That ja my motion, sir. Hon. A W. Brewin-Have we any official information on this matter 13
