polisy which has rendered all our rela- tions with the Chinese in this Colony so unproductive of good results. There is 2/11

no doubt a necessity for checking the 20reckless consumption of water, but that happens more generally amongst the Chinese than the Europeans. One of the first steps to remedy the present 2/28 defective water supply, is to set up a sufficient number of street hydrants 276, and to allow the Chiness to carry the 2.18 water to their, bouses. That is no more than is dous with the pooror classes in large towns in England and Scotland. It would not be any great hardship to allow the Chinese to do precisely what is done by the British working classes. Before any attempt should be made to 1934 lay down detective motora" the Water Department should be absolutely cartsin that the maters are thoroughly reliable. Several instances have been brought under our notice, where the meter wa grossly inaccurate. But that is a mere detail. The outcome of the whole mat- ter is that the European residents are to be harassed by irrational restrictions Pie pultication of this iuue commenced and penolios by an arrogant and tact- less official service, residence in the Colony will soon become sadesirable and certainly not in accordance with the written and written principles which are supposed to govern British coloni- sation. A liberal and not too literal interpretation of a faulty Ordinance is requisite, and if the new departure of the Wator Department is not modified by the Government it is highly pro- bable that the Colony will have to listen
