I believe both these dilution have had to be contended with to some extent. I do not notice amongst the measures recommended by the Government of India any reference to limewashing which lends colour to the view I hold (expressed zero fully in my minute on mortality statistics) that Mr. HEWETT, having waited for the appear.limowaahing is absolutely valueless sa a plague anon of the Vice-President, said that as the Hon. preventative.

In the ones of the property owners they are almost avery day receiving a notice to do this or alter that, thus putting them to endless trouble and loss. I quite sympathise with them and do not at all feel surprised that many rofrain from invoating their money in property. With regard to the procuration of statistics from Canton, I am of opinion some arrangement can be made with the Chirose Government for furnishing the sugkong Government with fairly correct information.

Mr. LAU CHU-PAK thought I was too much to expord on a dust bin; a kerosene in as old iron dram or any box made impervious was good enough. It was against making it compulsory to procurs from a certain man what was required by the Board...

Mr. FUNG WA-CHor said the now dust birs, wore not worth balf the price charged. I thought licences should be allowed to bay where they liked at cheaper prices

Mr. HUMPHREYS concurred with Messrs. Lau Chu pak sud Fung Wa-cliun.

The recommend action was accepted, an ex- explion to be made in the case of lodging boasrs.

Mr. Hoorus said the attention of the Govern mont should be called to the bad condition of the pavements and side channels in the centro of the city.

Mr. Hoopsu declared that the private streets were the best kapt in the colony (laughtor).

Mr. HEWETT buld a different opinion with regard to the private streets,

It was agreed that the attention of the Government be called to the streets indicated.
