vast and shameful waste of water which threatened the colony not long ago with a water famine, in spite of our big Tytam reason for supply, forms a suficient making a determined attempt to con- vince our Chinese fellow-citizens that indiscriminate waste cannot be telersted, and that it is neither for their own good Bur for the good of the community of large that they should omit to shut their taps when they have had quite os much water us they require at any par ticular time or for any particular pur. pose. Apart, bowever, from the Sani- iary Board powers, or want of powers, in connection with the water supply, it if the Bourd is competent to deal with any question at all it should be the question of drainage Judging from the report of the proceedings of last meeting, this is a subject in regard to which the Board has somewhat underestimate what lit- tle ahority it has been invested with. We say this with particular reference to the correspondence submitted to the Board regarding the insanitary condi tion of the house Na. 32, Prayi Central. A Chinese tenant of that house had written to the proprietor, Mr M. J. D. Stephens, solicitor, complaining of the drainage nd giving notice that unless some imp. vements therein were effect- ed no claim for rent would be entertain- ætl. Further, the indignant tenant, moved to exasperation by the preval- ence of a stoneh which was unbearable erca to the very tolerant nostrila of a Chinese, threatened an action either against the Government or Mr Stephens for the serious illness which he (the tenant) had contracted shugh the defective sanitary arrangements of the premises,

From the history of the case, as gives in the correspond- ence, it would appear that, if any action is brought, it ought to be brought against the Goverment. Mr Stephens writes to the Doard that the ten- snts are continually complaining of the defective state of the drains and say the new that nati

system of system) drainage (the separate MV DB laid down throughout the lot no trouble whatever arose with reference to the drains." Now if tenants are poisoned and landlords are denied their rants csccount of the gross defects of this precious separate tem, it is unly for that the chief blame should fall on the Govorament, which is responsible for the system.

before any new drainage system was decided apos, the habits of the Chinese should have been more fully considered and provided for, and I think this bas greatly to do with the present diffi- culty. This is a reflection which would naturally occur to any reasonable per-

babits of the Chinese, and we can only assume that the sanitary authorities ei- ther entirely ignored the fact that the separate system was not invented to teer the requirements of: Chincao ten- ants or else that they innocently be-- lieved that the introduction of the system would at once effect a complete revola- tion in those very ancient habits.
