England, I grew up an Ordinance, which was printed, and
numerous copies thereof were sent to the Colony.

øgen 1 revisited Hongkong in 1892, the Tytan reservoir
had been completed, and arrangements had been made for
laying the new Distributary dal:15. It was obvious that
the augmented supply, due to the new works, would afford
but small benefit, if waste and extravagance were not pre-
vented. It appeared that the Ordinance, drafted in 1882,
had never been passed. It appeared still more strange,
was that not a single copy of the Draft Ordinance could
be found in the Colony.
During my visit of 1891-2, a new Water Ordinance
was drafted, discussed and approved by the Sanitary Board,
and by the Executive Council. It was, however, objected
to by the unofficial members of the Legislative Council.
This Ordinance, in its original form, contemplated the
general use of meters; and, moreover, made the Owners of
tenements responsible for the payment for all water con-
sumed by their tenants, in excess of a certain prescribed
quarterly quantum. The Householders, as represented by
the Unofficial members of the Legislative Council, shrunk
from this responsibility, saying that they had no control
over their tenants who were, for the most part, mere lodgers
to-day and gone the next.

It appeared to me that there was some justification
for the contention of the unofficial Members. More-
over, I have always held that important enactments should
be passed, by and with the concurrence of the unofficial
Members of the Legislative Council. The Official majority
which the Governor of a Crown Colony possesses, should only
be resorted to, in cases of the utmost emergency.
