TYPHOID YEYER AND WELL WATER.

There we submitted correspondence relative to a case of typhoid fover at No. 9 Wongne cheong, und report by Dr. Hunter on the bacteriological examination of three samples of water from a well on the promises.

The PRESIDENT stated that from the report of the Sunitary Surveyor it was seen that some of the drains at any rate were defective. It appered from the report of the Bacteriologist that the woll was contaminated, considerable sewage getting into it by some means or other and as they know a case of typhoid, the only

thing to do was to move the closure of the well He saved wecordingly. ·

Mr. POLLOCK seconded, and the motion w** agreed to.

BATHS FOR BETTER CHASSEU

Correspondence was laid on the table elative to the silviability of setting apart some baths for the use of the bottor classes and charging

small fee therefrom.

Inspector J. A. Lyon reported that the bulk of the butlus at Wanchai were used by the coolie

class with the reant that the botter classes Ind been now almost entirely driven away; and he directed the attention of the M.O.H. to the desirability of having some of the batlis reserved or some alterations made in the existing system.

Dr. Pearse sne grated that perhaps it might pay to set upuri sous baths for the use of the better class by charging a small fer.. The Board might consider the matter.

Mr. POLLOCK remarked that those wore busi ness promises and would not be used for sleeping purposes.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12ra, 1904.

The REGISTRAR-GENERAL said that verandahs were not supposed to be used for businest purposes.

Mr. POLLOCK replied that he was speaking only of these second four verandatis.

Dr. PEALSE pointed out that in the" reserva- tion, houses stond on their own land. Section 189 referred to houses on Crown land. It was not the intention of the Goverument to make people a present of an extra 1080 or 150 square

feet of land.

Mr. Rrяzáнn argal that veranlabs either on Crown land or in the reservation could be enclosed. There were instances, which he could specify, in Caine Road where verandahs were being enclosed on Crown land,

BEFORE Mr. H. H. J. GoMPERTZ (ACTING POLICE MAGISTRATU).

HOBBERY AT WEST POINT.

Inspector Collett charged a man with larceny. An Indian constable had seen the defendant coming downstairs from No. 18, Queen's Btroet. The people in the house raised an alarm, saying the house had been entered, and a quantity of clothing and money stolen. The man, on being arrested, was found in possession of the missing property and also clothing which the police identified as having been stolen from No. 2. Queen's Street. He had gained an entrance into the house by climbing up a storm-pipe and getting from ono verandah to another.

Dr. Macfarlans, Assistaut M.O., sent in for analysis a staple of water taken from a well situated between the kitchens of 15 and 16, Fuk Sing Lane, Younali.

The Government Analyst, Mr. A. C. Prauk.

Mr. Lau Chu Pak minated-What is meant. by better class"? I don't think the well-to-doa, reported that he was of opinion that the Chinese will avail themselves of these baths, nor will the shopkeepers care to mix up with the enal coolies in the same building. Before going into the question seriously, let the Inspector

submit the sketch of the proposed alteration.

Mr. A. Kamjahn-I think instances should be quoted by the Inspector that "the better classics have been now almost entirely driven. away," and how many of the better classes of Chinese have used the batha.

Mr. E. A. Hewett: very much doubt if any Chinese above the ordinary class will make uso of a public bathhouse oven if reserved for paying visitors. I should like to hear the views of the Chinese representatives on this subject.

Mr. POLLOCK said he agreed with Mr. Runjahn and Mr. Lau Chu Pak that some more information should be thrown

this subject by the Inspector before they could act upon it.

upne

The PRESIDENT remarked that the Chiness representatives did not appear to think that the better class of Chinese would use the baths. Therefore he did not think it would be of much use for the Board to recommend that a charge should be made. The bathis were provided with. the object of the batter classes of Chinese using them. At present they were used by the colle class. They could refer the matter back to the Laspertor.

The Robinson Piano Co. sued J. Iambert, snperintendent engineer of the Dock Co., for $37.30, being balanes of account dus and $10 for two units ou piano. Mr. Goldring was for the plaintiffs: Mr. Grist for the defence.

Mr. Goldring stated that plaintiff was on the piano-taring subscribers list. At the end of two tanings he came and said he should not be

on the list.

Mr. Grist said he might shorten the case by stating that the piano was bought on the instalment system, and part of the contract was that it should be kept in tune until the parchaso money was paid, after which the tuning cursed. But twice after that date two tonings were done by the Robinson Ce. although defendant had guget somebody else to do it. There was no dispute us to the balanco of the account whielr had been paid into Court.
