SANITARY BOARD.
A meeting of the Sanitary Board was held yesterday afternoon, when there were pre- sent Dr. J. M. Atkinson, Principal Civil Medical Officer (President); Hon. W. Chatham, (Director of Public Works), Lieut.-Colonel Hughes, R.A.M.C; Mr. C. McI. Messer, Acting Registrar-General. Mr. E. Obsome, Mr. Fang Wa Chun, Mr. Lau Chupak, and Mr. G. A Woodcock (Secretary).
INSPECTION OF RIVER STEAM-BOATS. The first question for consideration was with reference to the Inspection of river steamboats and, after the correspondence and 'minutes on the subject (which appeared in our last edition) had been rend, the President said-The question is whether this is to apply to

I submit that I cannot be held responsible for the con dition of the roads or for any such accident as may occur, if the grids are to be retained.”
The Colonial Secretary asked "Can nar rower gratings be submitted? If so, at what estimate of pret 2
The Director of Public Works replied in letter The narrower gratings form part of my improved gully, which it is proposed to construct in lieu of the existing ones. The
ORATINGS WOULD NOT BE SUITABLE, however, for the present gullies, as the arrange. ment is very different, or would it be worth while to go to the expense of substituting new
gratings, as the reconstruction will shortly be taken in hand. As many of the gratings are kept partly open the idea that the grids prevent the egress of rats is absurd. The grids should be removed until the end of the rainy season at cast, when they can be refixed if desired"
The Director of Public Works-If I may, be allowed again, sir, I should like to say, with regard to Go Hughes's emphasis of the re mark made by Mr. Oshome, that it is a mistake for members, to flatter themselves that these grids can have had any material effect in the direction indicated as regards keeping the rate in, because, as I say, I have seen times without number, in going about the streets, these gratings pulled back, and what practical value can be placed upon them when they are in that position ? Any number of rats could come out. It is entirely wrong to say they have had any practical effect in keeping the rats in the drains for any long period.
Mr. Osborne I may be under a wrong im pression. It is quite true that this year some of these gratings have been displaced but it is only recently. These celtings were not dis- placed until after the first heavy rainstorm, and they certainly did a lot to keep the rats in
the drains.

The Colonial Secretary, in reply, wrote: Mr. Fang Wa Ohun-Cannot the Sanitary I understand that the scavenger.coolies have Board arrange to have half a dozen coolies to water cannot escape, and thereby renders the every day in the rainy season and lift them up to leave the gratings partly open or the rain-pok after this netting?

or put them back again.
The Director of Public Works-1 bope the Hoard will see its way to rescind its former decision in connection with this matter.. It is perfectly absurd that we should put on grids to keep rats from getting out of the gratings or going into the gratings, and at the same time to have these gratings open at the side in such a way that any quantity of rats can get in and out freely. There is no question about it that the retention of these grids on the gratings is a source of real danger in the case of heavy
does cause great danger. The roads, every one must have seen, have been scoured out where the water pours down channels from the hills, and through being checked it may cause much greater danger in the way of bringing down retaining walls, and may even lead to loss of life. I therefore hope the Board will see its way to rescind its decision during the rainy season any way..
The President-Dr. Clark informs us that Too coolies are told off to do this work.
Mr. Fang Wa Chun-In that case I don't think they are doing their work properly.
Mr. Osborne's amendment on being put to the votes was carried by 5 votes to 2, the Direc- tor of Public Works and Mr. Messer voting against it.

vessels of the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Co. In the minute of the Board it is stated that vessels should be encouraged to carry qualified medical doctors. I think it is quite impracticable for the smaller steamers to carry doctors.

Furthermore, we have it on the very best authority that rats are the greatest disseminators of plague, and therefore, in every way we can, we ought to kill or keep down rats; we should do even at the risk of damage in other directions. As regards the danger to roads, that is not the

conceru of the Sanitary Board; the Sanitary Board should stick to its decision. His Excel- lency the Governor was in favour of it, and we should not stultify ourselves by recommending the removal of these grids now. If the heavy rains choke these gratings, demolish houses, and tear down the walls, that is not the business of the Sanitary Board; that is the business of the Public Works Department, and the Government can decide between them and us. But there is another way out of the diffi- culty, as I have pointed out before: bese nettings could be fixed in such a way that, was in the datos, hey could be lifted in the

SPAIN'S DANGER.
A telegram from the Express correspondent at Madrid stating that King Alfonso would embark on a campaign against the priests in Spain, and that he would openly defy the Vatican, has created much astonishment among British Roman Catholics. If King Alfonso attempis so hazardous a, thing,” said a pro- minent Romanist cleric, he will be the worst advised Sovereign, that Spain has had for many reigns. The task is impossible, and foolhardy in the extreme. It would mean a revolution, and the one opportunity that the Carlisis have been waiting for all these years. I know Spain thoroughly, and any attempt to tamper with its ancient in- stitutions must fail. The country is not so badly priest-ridden as it is stated to be The Church of Rome desires, above all things to see the country enjoying peace and prosperity, and it will work with the King to attain this end British Roman Catholics sincerely hope that the youthful King will-be dissuaded from embarking in so desperate a course as that outlined by your correspondent. -1.
