At y catorclay'a meeting of the Sanitary Board Mr. F. B. L. Bowley dealing with the Estimates for the Department for 1919 said: I have no doubt the Board will approve the very modest recommendations of the head of the Sanitary Department with regard to changes in the Draft Estimates for 1919. Most of these commendations deal with increases in the scavenging staff and plant and, sheet watering appliances has this to do with the Fablic Works and for Ficker Juterpretes for the The Board may sak, however, what Adviser, appeared for the prosecution? necessitated by the increase in the extraordinary?

Paragraph 15-Inspector Quarters io Renundy Town.-The Board recom· mended a second storey to these quarters last year. As the Sanitary Staff has been again reduced the work of cach officer must become more arduous, and it is more important therefore that the quarters provided should be adequate.

New motor roads to the higher levels as well as round the Island, regular ferry services to Cheung Chow, an improved train service to Taipo and Fanling-these would enable the Euro. pean population to find building sites in healthy localities with fresh air and peaceful nights.
