much has yet to be done before the Colony can think about its sanitary problems without anxiety. Apart from the primi- tive nature of many of the methods still employed, apart too from the confusion inevitable through the lack of a board of health, much of the present trouble can be traced to the seri ous under-staffing of the Sanitary Department, especially as regards, the number of men for the inspecting of food, etc. Compared with a Home town of similar, size, Hongkong is woefully backward in this respect. The fact has long been known but so far little has been done to remedy the defect. The Sanitary Department un- doubtedly performs its work with model efficiency, and this no doubt is why the Government persists in that laissez faire policy Dr. Koch denounced at Tuesday after- noon's meeting of the Sanitary Presumably Dr. W.
