HONGKONG SANITARY BOARD.

A special meeting of the Sanitary Board was held on May 22nd at the Board Room

the amended Pablid to further consider Health and Building Ordinance. The Hos. Dr. J. M. Atkinson (president), presided, and there were also present Hon. Mr. Chatham. (Vice-President), Captain Lyons, Hog. Mr Irving, Mr. A. Shelton Hooper, Mr. H. Humphreys, Mr. Lau Cha Fak, and the following efflcials-Dr. Pearse (Medical Officer of Health) Dr. Macfarlane (Assistant Modies! Offcer of Health) and Mr. Messor (Segretary).

BUESHADES AS BUILDINGS

Mr. DAU CHE-FAF, referring to coction of definition 8 said that sunshades should not be counted as buildings. The definition of building includes any wall and sunshade. He thought the word sunshade should not be included in the building. This would be a hardship on many shopmon as in many cases & sunshade did not cost more than $6 or $7, and if that were to be counted as part of the building section 251 would apply and the shopmen would probably be required to spend $200.

The VICE-PRESIDENT That is cot so. Any auch requirement would be waived,

Mr. HOOPER-I would ask the pross to pay attention to what the Director of Public Works has just said. He will be the sole one to inter- pret the clauser, and, he says, that in such cases as mentioned by Mr. Lau, the requirement would be waived. It is very important. In these circumstances I am with you.

Mr. LAU CHO-PAK-In the case of avas teats put up on lawns belonging to Chinese

The PRESIDENT -Suppose you have half a dosen there will be more "amoke from them than from an ordinary Areplace.

Ben. Mr. IsvinG-We don't want to recast the whole Chinese cooking arrangement in drafting this section. We must consider them.

A motion to the effect indicated was proposed by Hon Mr. InvING, and seconded by Mr. Lau CHU-FAX, and carried.

The motion was önrried.
