It appears that the original text is a draft minute of a meeting, likely from a historical document related to the Contagious Diseases Ordinances in Hong Kong. I have corrected spelling errors (e.g., "gaveinment" to "government", "confulsory" to "compulsory", "berlay" to possibly "Berlay" or a name, "decrest" is unclear, "boomen" to "women", "entically excruft" to "entirely exempt", "Houghing" is unclear, possibly "though"), and made minor adjustments for spacing and formatting. The text is presented in HTML format using

for paragraphs as per the instructions. Further clarification may be needed for some unclear terms or names.
