"I do not think any of us will re- gret the passing of 1030," said Mr. R. R. Todd, Chairman of the Urban Council, yesterday, at the last meet- ing for the year.
Only routine business was con- ducted, and the Chairman concluded with a summary. He said:
As this is the last meeting during 1938, I wish to thank all members for their co-operation. On behalf of the Council I thank the Secretary, Mr. Watson, and the Assistant Secre tary, Mc. Im, for their good work. Mr. Watson has just been transferred to the Colonial Secretariat, but wo welcome back an old colleague.in Mr. Roc.

I do not think any of us will re- EVOO gret the passing of 1938. The Colony has passed through a very tryini year. What was, I believe, the worst Small-pox epidemic in living memory was followed by another Cholera ARDIN epidemie which, thanks largely to the HONGKEW measures inflated by the Hon. Direc-LOILO tor of Medical
and Services
the JOHORE Health authorities, was fortunately KODE not quite so serious as the 1937 out- break, Owing to the continual in- flux of refugees from war-stricken China the shortage of housing accom- modation has become more acute than ever before. On every side we see overcrowding and destitution.
