virtuoas Head of the Public Works taking exception to Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 11. of Mr Francis' By-laws, on the ground that they were more of the nature of provisions for a Building Or. dinance than By-laws under the Public Health Ordinance." Times without sumber love we advocated the distinot separation of the truly sanitary portion of the Public Health Bill from the mass of arbitrary provisions relating to Build- ing operations; and had this suggestion bean acted upon, much of the heart burning raised by this measure of much- needed sanitation, and the difficulties experienced with these By-laws, would have been obviated. For the author of all this objectionable legislation, how- over, at this time of day, to turn and object to By-laws carrying out his Or- dinance on this ground, is a form of warföre which provokes the smile that

the meetings of the old Sanitary Board. Most of the other objections of M Prica are equally misleading. As wo have previously stated; some of Mr. Francis By-laws are framed specially to deliver landlords and house-owners from the thraldom of the Public Works de- partment; and of course, these portions are stoutly opposed by Mr Price, and an imaginary typhoon is dragged in to show that a specified number of days for keeping drains uncovered might not be suficient that is to SDY, portaps onco in ten years. In such a case, we fancy a saving clauss provid- ing for an occasional typhoon might

this so-called lengthened 'talk' over easily be inserted. Seriously, however,

the Sanitary Board By-laws has arrived at the point which it was expected to reach. It is now the Public Works department who are fighting against the community and the independent members of the Sanitary Board; hence the curious spectacle, to which we have already referred, of two undficial mem- bers of that Board fighting on the wrong side. So far as Sanitary works are concerned, the arbitrary and auto- cratic mode of proceeding hitherte ad- opted by the Public Works Department must cease. Mr Francis states the case clearly and forcibly enough.
