A SUGGESTION AGAINST PLAGUE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE "DALLY PBX88,"

25th May. 818-As an old resident in Hongkong, I think I can claim the privilege of making some suggestions as to the mnitation of the Colony, in which plague is fast increasing and threaten- ing life of not only the filthy Chinese, but the cleanly European in the centre of the town. In the neighbouring Colony of Macao, the finances of which are in no way comparable with those of Hongkong, the measures and precautions taken against the spreading of plague, although not entirely successful, are anyhow checking its progress to some extent.

In Macas the drains and gutters of the whole town are daily being washed with salt water pamped from the sea, and buckets of tar and sulphur are daily burnt and taken round the town by coolies accompanied by Government employees with instructions to call and stay a few minutes in any house whenever they are Could the Gorerument requested to do so.

CHINESE OPEN-AIR THEATRICALS STOPPED.

Mr. OSOBNE-In sccordance with notice. I I have the honour, to report that another European case of bubonic plague has occurred bey to move that the Government be asked not to give permission to Chinese to hold open-air in Beaconsfield Arcade to-day; this makes

I believe that, at the commend that the Board should consider the present moment, there is more than one huge advisability of closing these premises as unit nut-shed theatre at Yaumati, and others in for human habitation during the prevalence ether parts of the Colony, and I think there are of the present epidemic.. I am inclined to some in the city. I believe that those in the think that the large quantity of grain and city close somewhere about midnight, but those other foodstuffs stored on the Parade Ground st Fanwati, I believe, continue throughout must have attracted a large number of rats whole night. They are attended by thouskuts to the neighbourhood, and that these rats have of Chinese, many of them of a very undesirable class, the riff-raft of the commanity, and also infected the buildings in the immediate vicinity large proportion of young people, who Aumber of dead rsts have been recently by a found in the Cite Fail, but I liste no informa- but for these theatres would probably be simply not do the same here in Hongkong?

It will, perhaps, more than anything else bring it home to these people what plague means in this are stopped. I would not give that as a FERROM a large for doing it, but I think that where anmber of otherwise healthy people intermix with anhealthy people, cases of disease are abound to occur, and I think thess performances

Mr. OSBORR-Does that meas, sir: that the premises will not be open at any hour

Dr. CLARK-I consulted the Crown Solicitor yesterday, and he says that the Board has absol power to close up the premises. Howsar, no harm could be done by allowing the shops to remain open during the day-time.

Dr. BELL-How about the tailor's shop That plaza seems to me te be a mass of plague from one end to the other. I should be inclined to shut the place up entirely. If coolies are to be allowed there all day, squatting about, they are as much likely to get the infection as if they were there all night too. I should be in favour of shutting the whole place up, and clearing everybody out

Mr. OSBOENX-Could we close up the back premises and just leave open the shops?"

shop should be closed because of people getting the districts generally where they should, ba clothes from it.

ANA

The PRESIDENT-It seems to me to put these people in a very awkward position. They may be desirous of going in order to protect themselves, and, unless we declare the place closed, they may be liable to pay rent. It is a hardship for these people to be compelled to move their business in this summary fashion, but, on the other hand, they will probably be able to find other premises, and they would be relieved of any farther responsibility in con nection with the pressut premises.

Mr. OSBORNE With all due deferenen, I don't think we are called upon to consider that question at all. Whatever the arrange ment between the landlord and tenant, we ars here to net only in safeguarding the public health. Whatever the results may be, that has nothing to do with us. We are not called upon

to consider that at all.

Dr BI think tho house ought to be shut up day and night, maaken the tenants. We have got to do our business from a sanitary. point of view, and I think that place is so- infected that it sheld not remain open. You will get a certain amount of infection there in the day time, and if the place bad you waut to shy it up. I think you ought to close the building both day and night.

Mr. FUNG WA CRVENI think the amend ment is rather strong, because, if we close up this place day and night, we will have to close so many other places. The Hongkong Dis. pensary had a number of cases. It would be a very serious thing to close up day and

night

Dr. CLARK The bye-last says distinctly that the Board has power to close. Personally I was inclined to allow such businesses as the gunsmith shop to be carried on, but there are no half-measures If we are to close, we must close entirely.

Mr. OSBORNE-Well, sir, seeing there is no way to qualify the step we are taking. I beg to propose that the Board order the premises known as Beaconsfield Arcade to be closed during the prevalence of the epidemic of babonis plagas, under section 7 of the Disinfection of Premises Bye-Laws continued in schedule B of Ordinance No. 13 of 1901,

Mr. OSBORNE Everywhere,

The PRESIDENT-One district, though, may require them more than another. Is it not the case that la the western district the bath honses are most used?

Dr. CLARK~I'R find out.

Lieat. Col. HUGHES-I think some means ought to be taken to carry off the dirty waist. because now it oozos vat into the street and accumulates there.

The PRESIDENT-I may explain that these bath-houses have been rusked up in a great hurry Care was, however taken that they should all be placed over concrete surfaces, B as to obriate suy trouble such as Lient. Col. Hughes seems to indicate, With these surfaced it would be possible to take a bucket of water and give them a good scrubbing. Perhaps the Sanitary Hoard would see that was done.

Dr. CLARK's motion, on a show of hands, being taken, was carried unanimously.

This was all the business.

His Worship-Yes, I see the form has been altered and I am disposed to take that into Consideration. I think it would be well to explain the now form to arms dealers.
