With these few words I move the Mution standing in my name. Mr. Sayer's Reply.
Mr. G. R.
Hoad Sayer, of the Sanitary Department, onld that if the motion had been for a selected committee of the Board to investigate the Board's existing arrangement regarding the type and time of the refuse lorries used In Hongkong, he would have wel- comed the motion, since there were members on the Board who were well able to speak on the technical side of the whole thing, Mr. Lo'a mution, however, was nothing
of the sort. It merely in- vited members of the Board to disapprove of the existing
con-
type of lorry and the times at which they were in usa. Mr. Lo's motion made no mention of the! type of lorry desired, or of the time which would be most welcome. Of course the speech had some crete proposals, but Mr. Sayor said he wanted to impress on mom- bors that they would be called upon to vote on the motion and not on Mr. Lo's speech, and on that ground he invited the Board to reject the motion.
