Public health, after all, is of more account than increased revenue.

as foreshadowed in the exhaustive address by Illa Excellency the Governor at yesterday's meeting of the Legislative Council, that does not prevent us from uying A deserved tribute
to Sir Cecil Clementi for the painstaking care he must have bestowed on the subject to be able to outline the position in such detail and with NO much clarity. No-one can have read his speech without feel ink that His Excellency has keen grasp of all aspects of the situation. What is more, the speech betokens a real, anxiety that the Colony's water supplies should be so luereaued that, to use his own words, every house in Hongkong and on the mainland may have a full supply of filtered water throughout the year. No better objective could be aimed at, Not only is this held up as an Ideal, but, as the programme for the future clearly shows, practical steps are being taken to make it a reality.
