of guidance, I have to work over hours.
And in this long steep shelterless district I have to
supervise the work first of Conservancy coolies, than I of
rubbish coolles and than scavenging of the roads, having
scarce time to go to Victoria to fetch the food stuff and to
prepare it, but still the value of my work has not been known.
Therefore according to condition No.3 of my standing orders whit
which states that I must see that the Sanitary Contractors for
the Bill district strictly comply with the conditions of their
contract, and to see that the conservancy contractor_complying
The with condition No.7 of his contract which states that contractor
shall remove daily between the hours of 12 midnight and 6 a.m.
unless prevented by the stress of weather ( indicated by the
hoisting of a black typhoon signal) to his conservancy boats
stationed as aforesaid, all excretal matters from all buildinge
in the Hill district, all government buildings (including
government latrines ) and all privately owned public latrines
in the district coffered by this contract, he shall provide a
staff of not leas than 3 foremen and 40 coolies for the Hill
district and 1 foreman and 15 coolies for Victoria goal,
and as there is no arranged time for mustering conservancy
coolies ( as for the mustering of rubbish coolie at 5 a.m. )
and as the typhoon signal was helated on the morning of 22nd,
23rd and 24th July 1912 I went out on duty early at 2 a.m. on
the morning of these dates to see whether the conservancy
coolles will come up or not, and if they come whether they will
carry out their work in a proper manner in the rough weather,
so I watched them and saw them that they did, according to
condition No.4 of my standing order) and in reply to the lat
charge stating that I absented myself from my duty without
leave (or the permission of the Principal medical office per
clause No.8 of my standing order) at 7.30 a.m. on 23/7/12
contrary to No.7 of the standing orders for the sanitary watch-
man of the Hill district, I beg to state that on this date I have performed my duties actually, see my diary of this date,
