COMPLAINT AGAINST

LETTER FROM MR. BROTHERTON Harker. The following latter was received from Mr. B. Brotberton Harker, A.M.1.C.B.; and laid on the table at the meeting of the Sanitary Board this afternoon:-
}
Hongkong, 5th May, 1909, Sir,-On behalf of my client, the owner of Marine, Lot No. 239 and Inland Lot 1,355, I have the honour to bring to the notice of the Board a serious nuisance that is being com- mitted on Crows land adjoining these lots, by wishermen contaminating the stream rtioning through my chent's lots.
I believe the old rule of the Sanitary Board was to allow W,CJa in clubs, hotels and large blocks of offices* If this Club can provide an adequate water supply and can discharge into a main rower, I see no objection to granting the application. If the Hon. Director of Public Works is notified that there will be no nuisance at the sewer outfall. don't know where this outfall will be and whe- thef it will be beyond the end which is exposed at low water on the foreshore of the Praya East. Dr. G. H. L. Fitzwilliams:-I think this should be granted.
