HONGKONG, FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1897..

We have not heard whether the Chamber of Commerce have taken into further consl deration the proposals lately discussed at the Sanitary Board concerning the medical

waters. The resolutions passed by a casting vote were to be forwarded to the Government for consideration, but, ne we have already remarked, it was a pity that a matter of such importance to the Co- lony in general and the shipping interest in particular had to go forward, upon such a division sa that of two mem

bors against two members. As the Go

vernment has chosen to slips, this carica Statement of Contributor, to the Hong,ture of Board of Sanitation to optinve kong & Whampoa Dock C, Lad, to ork, however, it will now be the duty of to be sent in before this date.

the Executive to see that this subject is tho roughly discussed somewhere and by some- body. We admitted, in a previous note, that the Resolutions agreed upon by this alandar majority would offent certain im- provements, but that these were not aufficiently thorough to meet the require ments of the case. Of course the applica tion of Part 2 of the Home Regulations, in a manner to meet local circumstances, might or might not remove the danger of importing disease into this Colony. The arrangement inder which De Fordan's. a sistant would be enabled to fulfil duties the lax performance of which appear to have caused serious delay hitherto, is an im provement which may be sot down as absolutely necessary. But the decision of the Board to sit and look on at the prosent unsatisfactory state of things until the pre- sent Health Officer of the Port retiroo, is unwise. While the whole subject is being considered, and we presume a bulky or disance and complex regulations are to be deal with, it is highly desirable the whole ... 438 thing should be taken in hand and settled. ... 445

We still regard the proposals of the Medi- ... 135 cal Officer of Health to be-almost impracti

1804cable. The results would not pay for the

expense and the delay necessary for 135 carrying thom out thoroughly. Our morn- ing contemporary, in a lengthy articio
