Why is not something done or attempt to be done, after all the years of enquiry and report?

The Estimates for 1900 provide for au expen ditars (Items 24 and 25 details extraodinary public works) of about $15,000 for sewerage of Victoria and miscellaneous Arainage works, bui these are of the ordinary character and do not attack the sanitary problem in any way.

13.--In conclusion, the first place in point of urgency should be given, in the appropriation of the Colonial Fands for Extra Works, to the sanitary wants of the Colony and among the sanitary wants of the Colony there stands in the forefront the pressing necessity of getting rid of the cases, or of any possible uses, of the visitations of plague. In that connection the nosity for an adequate number of latrines comes first, and no estimate for 1900 which

does not provide for this can be satisfactory, Perhaps the next most important, public work from the point of view of health is the water supply. The incass of the water supply is hardly a work to be completed, like the latrines, in a few months. It should be continuous over number of years, but the amount allotted for it each year should bear a large proportion to the total amount of money available.

Then the available money should be ap- proprinted to the several works in the orter in which they stand on the Estimates, and if there is not easugh to go round, the last on the list should be left over till some other year

It in useless to plead the insufficiency of the staff of the Public Works Department as a reason for not proceeding with any argent provided for by the provision of additiona strength for the Department or by special staff. At present with pressing work on hand the staff is being apparently rodnood. It is cartainly much less strong than it was ten years ago when the population was much less and the area of the Colony twenty-nine square miles instead of four hundred and twenty-nine.
