The PRESIDENT-He cannot be expected to gim you any information on that head now.
Dr. CANTLIB-What I wanted to sak 'was whther there will be any interferanos witli ́the
TIENTSIN.
18th May, The' allting' up of the river has rendered Trian water supply. I thought the Surreyor-difficult the turning of steamers at the Bund. zoral might say in a omvereational way Sometimes they stick right norosa the river, and wait will be the probable effect. We don't being unchto to move in any direction have to want to have another wator question, with wait until the current at stem and stern clears angry letters in the papers, and I think the obstructing shoal if matters of this kind instead of being -I will not say slurred over, but apparantly slurred over, by this Board, were taken up at the time it would be better. We cannot expect say fall information, but if the Surveyor Gone mal could give as any idea as to what is likely to happen it would be a great beneilt.
The SURVEYOR GENERAL-It is not froza any wish to withhold information that I am un- sble to answer Dr. Cantle's question here. After the meating is ever I shall be happy to noa Dr. Cantlle sud give him all the information in my power, but as this is a subject with which the Sanitary Board has absolutely nothing to do I should be entirely out of order in introducing it here and would fall in my duty as a public servant in communiorting information in this way instead of through the proper channel.
Dr. CANTLIRI only asked, not as a duty of the Sanitary Board, but in connection with the Surveyor-General's previous reply. I only wish the Surveyor General well out of it
The SURVATOR-GENERAL So far na I know, the question of water only comes before this Board in reference to its purity, not with reference to destruction of works, and it is for that reason I would be entirely out of order in entering on the subject.
CONTRACTS.
On Sunday last, while the steamer Kuong sang was onderouring to turn opposite the offices of the Taka Tug and Lichter. Co, the notion of her propeller loosened some of the piles, and a portion of the Bund, becoming under- mined, sank about two feet below it proper level. Repaire are now being affected by the Municipality.
The foreshore of the French settlement has silted up for a distance of about fifteen yards from the Band and coolies are busy removing the soil for filling in purposes.
The removal of the railway bridge is proceed ing cheerfolly, operations on the last four piles of the fifty-two in theu contes keing carried on to-day. We hear that it has now been decidei to remove the bridge altogether, and that a contract has been accepted from a nativo ärm to draw the side piles for Tis 1,000. How to this may be wo osanot say; the contractor will, without doubt, earn his money-Chinese Times.
