By the proceedings of the preliminary meeting of the new Sanitary Duard we ara reminded of the reports published at: Home of the Health Board meetings held there for a similar purpose. Ose of the advantages of the new arrange- ment here is anmistakeably this, that the public will begin to feel in sympathy with and to entertain some confidence in the work of the Board. Probably an much interest was felt in the first report of the Board's first meeting last evening as a generally felt in the perusal of Le- gislative Council proceedings. Neces- sarily the proceedings partook of the character of a preliminary canter, as the The members have not yet got fully shaken into their saddles. It was well, how- ever, that the status and disposition of official members were fairly stated—at letet by tho Chairman, if not by the athors Mr Francis lost no time in put ting forward that question, and it was curious to note how it was dealt with.

As head of the Public Works De partment, and leader of the official phalanx which forced much that was utterly distasteful and thoroughly premature in the Public Health Bill upon the community, this was a pretty bold statement for the Surveyor General to make. Many residents who have had dealings with the able and astute Head of the Public Works Department will be apt to question the accuracy of the opinion that the Interests of Mr. Price's department and the community are identical.
