a vedical man would be able to detect much better than an Inspector, but a Medical man, just looking at it would not be able to detect always a case of plague.

Q

A.

You would not have to increase the staff. At the most,

in plague time, there are 30 to 40 bodies in the day at the Mortuary. Just now, he has two or three. I dont suppose there are more than one or two, if you exclude the Civil Hospital, Tung Wa Hospital, and the Missionary Hospital. I doubt if there is more than one Chinaman everyday that dies without seeing somebody. I should be surprised if there was. That would not increase the

work in the least.

The Medical Officers at home are elected I think by the

Urban Sanitary Authorities ?

Yes.

And it is not a necessary qualification in him, to 12 994

possess the D. P. H. Diploma ?

It depends upon the size of the District.

I should say it is not a necessary qualification ? 12945 |

They must, in some Districts. The Local Government

Board wont recognise a man in a certain District -

50,000 people I think it is - unless he has a D. P. H.

Diploma.

You have got the B. P. X ?

12.996

Yes.

q.

You took it in repent years ?

I took it last time I was at home.
