HONGKONG SANITARY BOARD.

A meeting of the Sanitary Board was held on January 8th at the Board Roors.

The

Hon. Dr. J. M. Atkinson (president) presided and there wore also present Lieut.-Colonel J H. Reid, R.A.M. Dr. F. Clark, Medioni Officer of Health, How. Mr. A. W. Browin, Registrar General, Hon. Mr. F. J. Badeley (Captain Superintendent of Polic), Dr. · H. McFarlane, Assistant Medical Officer of Health, Hon. Mr. E. A. Hewett, Mr. H. Humphreye, Mr. Lau Chu pak, Mr. Fung Wa-obou 'and Mr. G. A. Woodcock (sacretary),

LIKEWASKINO.

Dr. Msafarlane wrote a minute relative to the limewashing of the houses st Kowloon City and Sham Shui Po, in which he stated that the

bi-yearly limewasking for tonement houses had not boon enforced. Instead, a yearly limowash- ing, combined with general cleansing, had been enforced. This was not so expensive to the people as the double cleansing, and be recom- mended that the same course be adopted for

1907.

Mr.

CHU-FAX minuted-I think limewashing may be dispensed with in these outlying districts. General cleansing under the supervision of the Brard ought to be sufficient to keep these houses clean, which are in the majority of cases occupied by one family.

HOD. REGISTRAR GenstarI agree with Mr. Lau Cha-pak.

The Hon. REGISTRAR GENERAL asked if it

was proposed to deal with these places differently is any quarter of the Colony”

The PRESIDENT—No. The Hon. REGISTRAR GENERAL The `limewashing of family houses is not carri

out in any quarter of the Colony.

Dr. CLARK-Except by uutine

The Hon. KEGISTRAL GENERAL-I think the time has come when Kowloon sad Sham Shui Po should be treated as the rest of the Colony. They should have this annual clean ing with imewashing. There have been complaints that the Sanitary Department required too high a standard, but I would suggest that Mr. Lau Chu-pak and Mr. Fung Wa-chun should go over and inspect the houser.

The PRESIDENT-Filty por cont of the houses are occupied by more than one family,

Mr. RUMPHREYS Do I understand those houses are limewashed only once a year?

The PRESIDENT—Yes.

Mr. HUMPHREYS --Under what regulations The PRESIDENT-The regulations of the

Board.

Mr. HUMPHREYS-Have the Board the power to override the standing regulations in entlying districla?

The PRESIDENT—They have.

The PRESIDENT moved that the recom- arendation of Dr. MacFarlane be adopted,

Hor, Mr. HaRWETT asconded.

The HON. REGISTRAR GENERAL WAS opposed to compulsory limewashing of any house occupied by only one family whether the house were clean or dirty,

The PRESIDENT—It is nòver,done unless the Louse is dirty.

Mr. FUNG WA-CHUN said he disapproved of the limewashing moloys a distinction was made between the houses,

On the vote being taken, four supported the resolution, and four opposed it. The rec mendation was, however, adopted on the casting vole of the President,

The PRESIDENT—As far as I can see from

studying the Ordinace, the sectious dealing with cemeteries are 90, 91 and 92. Then there are certain bye-laws that come nader the purview of the Board, but those apply only to Chinese cemeteries. I don't think the Boned has any power under these byo laws tointerfere

HON. MR. HEWETT-Wouldn't it be better to find out if wa have that power?

The SECRETARY pointed out, that they had at page 15, sub-section 29 which, applied to all cemeteries,

The PEENIDENT-This matter came Up before the Board on November 7th when it was agmed ta appoint a anh-committee to consider and report on thequestion of fees of cemeteries. That committas consisted of Messra Hooper and Lau Cha-pak and Fr. Clark.

Members agreed that ita report should be recirculated.
