The Plague, he tells me, originated at Bonham Strand West / please look at the plan of Victoria Hongkong which shows it being brought in by February Chinese processionists who came in from the Canton provinces last year.

He did not explain how it is that it did not break out till May.

The centre of the epidemic however was further inland in the Taipingshan district, as marked in red, which is crowded with Chinese.

The main sewers of Victoria are being re-constructed, at great cost, by the Public Works department. "That department has control over Crown property and public roads, but not over private houses, with which the Sanitary Board alone is competent by law to deal!

This Taipingshan district wants, Mr Cooper tells me, draining; its hoven ought to be paved; there are private lanes and alleys which are treated as backyards-
