Explanation

Mr. Braga. said-I would like to say 'n 'few words in explanation. My questions on the condition of the stone jetty at Yaumati were asked at the instance of the Kow- loop Residents' Association and after a visit to the site in company: with the hon. secretary of the As- sociation. Mr. G. M. Manners., In the opinion of the Committee of the K.R.A.. the Insanitary condi- tion of the jetty is a real menace to public health in Kowloon, es- pecially at a time when the out- break of small-pox shows no sign of abating and the practice of dumping dead bodies of victima of the disease is persisted in.
