Optimism or Pessimism Replying to Mr. Braga, Mr. Lo said that he did not know whether he could congratulate Mr. Braga on his optimism or his péssimism when he said that in the event of a typhoon the problem would be solved by nature.

I welcome the motion before the Board in that it affords me an op- portunity to renew the efforts I have exerted, in the first instance, in other "quarters" to seek relief for the intolerable and, I am almost tempted to say, "scandalous" situa- tion that has been allowed_to be created in respect of the water supply for fushing purposes within the Kowloon Tong Estate. If need arises for Government revision of the prevailing system in the inter- est of public health, that need be- comes more urgent and ever more emphatic when the complete break- down of an ineffective system ex-. poses the Kowloon Tong Estate com- munity to the necessity of having to use potable water from the mains for flushing the sanitary toilets due to the absence of water which, by agreement with Government, one of the contracting parties faith- fully and solemnly pledged to sup- ply in full quantity and in the driest season of the year for flush- ing and gardening purposes.

In this connection it becomes ra- levant to quote an extract from a letter I have received from a resid- ent of Kowloon Tong. The gentle- man wrote:-

"When the Sanitary Board and the P. W. D. take Buch elaborate

pre- cautions before granting a permit for a private W. C., we naturally ex- pected that far more care would have been taken before authorising flush system to scheme

a

of over houses,"

Reflection on the Board I would ask members to note the implied reflection on the Sanitary Board in the citation I have just made.

It is difficult to reconcile the logic of an exigent demand for compliance with all manner of conditions laid down by the Water- Closet Select Committee in the case of an individual applicant for sani- Lary

installation and the con* doning the flagrant breach of the agreement with the Government wherein a whole Estate is concern- ed.

The duty is imposed on this Board to see that this unsatisfac- tory state of things be rectified as soon as possible. Until it is re- medied members stand guilty of re proach that may be laid at their door of apathy in the performance of a public duty which, as members of a public body, we owe to resid- ents of this Colony."

Regarding the suggestions offer- ed by the mover of the resolution,

I feel confident that they will re-

Motion Carried Illustrating his remark, Mr. Lo said that supposing there was "an awful stɔrm" say from 6 to 10 in the morning, how would people get their water during these hours? And if the storm was repeated in the afternoon, how were they to get water throughout the day?

The motion was put to the meet- ing and was carried by six votes.

ANOTHER SUGGESTION

Well Water for "Washing” Purposes

This afternoon members and Committees of the Chinese General Chamber and of the Tung Wah Hos- pital will meet in the latter institution to discuss means for re lief of the present hardship occa- sioned to the Chinese community by the shortage of water and the res- trictive measures,

It is mooted that an endeavour may be made to obtain the Sanitary Board's permission for wells to be dug in certain section of the Colony "in order to augment the water supply for washing purposes."

Worthy of Consideration Mr. N. L. Smith (Chairman) said that when notice was given of Mr. Lo's motion, he approached the Director of Public Works. The lat- ter assured him that he would be glad to receive any practical sug- gestions from any member of the public or body such as the Sanitary Board, which would look upon the question of water restriction from the point of view of the health of the Colony.
