As regards the abolition of existing cubicles, dows will not be allowed to be erected in future, it will be found to be impracticable unless a scheme can be devised to remodel the existing tenement houses, so as to bring it within the means of the poor to pay the rent and not to inflict heavy losses on the owners or infringe the rights of Crown lessees.
In this connection wa note with regret that the Report does not contain a plan of an im proved type of domestic building, although it shows clearly that the present designs are defective in almost every particular

I strongly recommend that where a compul. sory sacrifice of land and space is made to meet the requirements of the new Dill, fair and rea- sonable compensation should be given in every case. Section 155 of the Public Health Act, 1875, reads as follows "The urban authority shall pay or tender compensation to the owner or other person immediately in terested in such house or building for any loss or damage he may sustain in ĉonsequence of his house or building being set back or forward, the amount of such compensation, in case of dispute, to be settled by arbitration in manner provided by this Act"; and section 30 or

1 also submit that all damages sustained by any person on account of the destruction of household furniture, wearing apparels, and so on, consequent upon measures taken to combat
plague and other infectious diseases, should be
made good and compensated,
Section 121 of the Public Health Act above mentioned provides for this, and section 6 of the dfectious Disease (Prevention) Act, 1890:
unless special meetings of the Board are held. Moreover, the Board has power to amend or revoke these and any other bye-laws, so under these circumstances I think the scheme of the experts should be given a trial.

The Committee have, how-published for general information.
By Command, ever, gone to an early memorandumt, pensed by Professor Simpson a few weeks after his arrival in the Colony, and in which, the appointment is first mooted for further inform- ation. It is only fait, however, to state that, at that time, Professor Simpson had had no time to become acquainted with the very important duties and functions of the the sanitation of the Colony, and the catalogue Public Works Department in connection with
of duties which is quoted by the Committee is given by him only to show what important matters lie outside the routine, work of the Medical Officers of Health.
It is clear, I think, that the later Report,, written two months after the preliminary memorandum, and with a better knowledge of the various Government Departments already existing in the Colony, and moreover after due consultation with the Engineering Expert sent out from England to collaborate with him, contains the more mature' opinions on this question, which is merely sketched in the carly Report.

Professor Simpson states in paragraph: 29 of his second memorandum that the Medical
Officer of lealth should be the Director and
Executive Head of the staff engaged in con- nection with--(a) plague work, (b) ordinary
sanitary routine work.
The duties of the Sanitary Commissioner would therefore be the carrying out of the larger sanitary questions, detailed in paragraph 31 of Professor Simpson's second memoran- dům, viz:-.
(1) The distribution of the water supply and its purity as apart from the constructive work.
(2) The maintenance of the sewerage and its flushing arrangements,
(3) The laying out of strects, public and pri
vale.
14) Projecting new streets and scavenging
Jancs.
(5) Improving the line of old streets. (6) The reservation of open spaces. (7) The construction of healthy houses. (8) The house space to be left between and about buildings to secure free circulation of air (9) The provision of public and private latrines and urinals.
cubicles must be provided with windows. We agree by a majority to the amount of open space required by sections 175 and 177, and to the limitation of the height of buildings re- quired by section 185.
We agree in advocating all the other new provisions in the Bill which have not been specially referred to above.

The con- stable discovered that the man's skull was fractured and he thak the body to the Mortuary.
THE LAGUE IN FORMOSA :—According to an official telegram, from the Formosan Government, four new cases and three deaths from plague are reported as having occurred in the Taipeh district, with three cases and two deaths at Toshiyen. This makes the total number of cases from January last 1,987, of which 1,516 have ended fatally.*.. DELUGE AND TORRENT:-In Shanghai the firemen are told off into companies, and

RINDERPEST AT PORFULAM:-The outbreak of disease among the cattle at Pok- futom, the property of the Dairy Farm Company Limited, has been at an end for some days. The total number of animals in contact with the discase was 86; of these, 39 did not take pit: zy took it and died; 19 took it and recover red: and four were killed while suffering from the disease. The question was brought for ward at the Sanitary Board this afternoon, and it was decided that the Dairy Farm be declared free from infection.
SUN-STRICKEN PIGS:-A petition from the members of the Pig Guild was brought before the Sanitary Board this afternoon. The Guild say that they always purchase swine from Hoi How, and other ports; and these imported swine belong to different owners so that when they are landed ashore they have to be marked in the strong sun before being sent to the different Depots. The pigs often die of sunstroke and the dealers lose their capital. The Guild therefore requested that permission might be granted to them to erect two matsheds at their own expense, one at. Cadogan. Road and the other at Forbes Street. Those sheds, if ap- proved, would have to remain there from March to September yearly.

Board" for "The Sanitary Commissioner," as we are of opinion that questions dealing with the rights of ownership should be considered by the Board. This principle is maintained in No. 3 of the byelaws governing the Treven tion or Mitigation of Epidemic, Endemic or Contagious Disease, as under this byclaw the Bourd has the power of temporarily closing buildings unfų for human habitation.
It is therefore in accordance with this hyelaw that permanent closing of basements should be carried out by the Board.

The Board at present directs its officers to make house to house visitations, and defines the district in which those visitations should be carried out, and it is proposed that the Sanitary Commissioner shall have the power
to direct any officer to make visits in any dis trict in which he may deem such visitations to be necessary.
It would be necessary under the proposed arrangement to inform the Police of the fact that certain districts have been defined to secure their co-operation, and therefore little time would be saved by the Sanitary Commis sioner, defining the districts and directing the offices instead of the Roard.
Moreover, before such measures are adopted the whole foard especially the Chinese members should have an opportunity of expressing their views, and they should be published before they are enforced.
The experts appear to be only dealing with a portion of the insanitary dwelling-houses, leaving a large number of such buildings, com monly called slums, to be dealt with in the future as circumstances will permit.
