I, for one; convinced that it is not.in the best interests of the Colony's inhabitants, will vote against the adoption of the motion. Indeed, I go one step further and say the interest of the mass of the people in Hong Kong is best safeguarded' by the disused wells remaining closed. If they should be opened I fear this ill-advised action might prove to be a case of the eure being worse than the disease.

There was not the least doubt that if the water from these wells was used even for flushing and washing, diseases in ar epidemic form which would be very dangerous to the Colony might break out.

Mr. Lo: "I am glad to hear that." Mr. Lo continued that he consid- dered that the Colony was in any case at present facing a menace to health in the water shortage, and he urged the Board to adopt the motion as a gesture from those who lived in the meter districts to those who live in the rider main districts when it really meant so little and yet would mean so much to those in the rider main districts if they gave them what they asked.

"I ask you," he concluded, "to vote for this motion knowing that the Colony will not all die of dis- ease if you do support it."

He fell he had to oppose the motion as in his opinion any other means of obtaining water was pre- ferable to the re-opening of wells.
