(C.) Sanitation.
Sanitary conditions are still far from perfect, and the Government recognises that sanitation is one of the most important matters that can engage its attention. There has been an improvement during the past four or five years owing to a strict enforcement of the Public Health Ordinance (No.124 of 1887) and the Insanitary Properties Ordinance (No.15 of 1894). But this improvement can not be said to be universal, and it is to be feared that many of the Chinese dwellings in the city are structurally in a very insanitary condition. There was an Insanitary Properties Commission appointed during the year, and as a result of its enquiries a number of recommendations were submitted to the Government. These recommendations, together with amendments, suggested by the Board, will be embodied in a Bill which, when it becomes law, will probably do much for the amelioration of the present unsatisfactory state of affairs.
It has recently been proposed to erect a Refuse Destructor of the type now common in many English cities, whereby the town refuse may be destroyed in forced-draught furnaces instead of being conveyed to dumping-grounds as at present. Estimates have been received from two English firms, and the Government hopes to find an early opportunity of giving this matter the attention which it deserves.
