SLUM AREAS.
REBUILDING QUESTION AT
SANITARY BOARD.
"Nothing would please me more than to see the disappearance of theso slum areas; but if they are to exist, will it not be better for them to be with sanitary conveniences than without," declared Mr. M. K. Lo at yesterday's meeting of the Sanitary Board.
The question arose following a discussion on an application for the erection of fivo water closets at No. 15, New Market Street and No.

the premises.
Mr. G. R. Bayor (President) told * the Board that the Select Com- mittee dealing with the application had unanimously recommended that the Board refuse the application, Hon. Mr. H. T. Creasy, Director of Public Works, declaring that the building was unsuitable and he did not want to perpetuate the type.
Mr. Lo said that it was really reverting to the old question of whether the Board would use its power as a lover to cause the re- building of old houses, a policy to which the Board had previously agreed it would not adhere. He would be inconsistent in supporting the motion unless he was assured that that was not being done in this
case.
Mr. Sayer-It is not a case of using lever: the building is simply not suitable.
Mr. F. C. Hall-I must support Mr. Lo. If a building is unfit for a water closet, it must be unfit for human habitation.
Hon. Mr. Creasy and Dr. Pope, Medical Officer of Health, declared that the premises were insuficient- ty ventilated.
Dr. R. A. de Castro Balo said he would like to take a look at the premises and on his request, the matter was adjourned.

FRIENDLY CRICKET. HONGKONG C.C. ELEVEN AGAINST KOWLOON.
Posers are never popular figures because your true posers bellove so profoundly in their own baseless longend that they have become abnormal. They are suffering from a mild form of dementia and their normal bellows feel instinctively re- pelled.
