that which the Colony is slowly recovering. The question, it must be remembered, is not one restricted to the lifetime of existing property-holders. The plague bacillus might be sealed up, but, unless there is an effort to root him out of cho mtb-soil altogether the Colony need never hope to be free of plague. It is not a question of mere discolouration of the soil. If that were all there would bo no need for resuming Taipingsban and subjecting it to the cleansing. besom of public improvement. The sub-suil is deeply impregnated with the germs of a peculiarly fatal disease. Until these germs are removed, there will be continual outbreaks of bubonico plague, and the Colony, from time to time, will have to endure the blasting effects which we have seen sperating so disastrously upon the Colony and the trade of the port during the recent epidemic. With regard to the houses within the condemnued area, it may be assumed that a few of the owners are willing to robuild upon improved lines; but it would complicate matters too much if power wers not given to deal
