Mr. HOOFER-Why should be apply to have it reduced? He is entitled to cover the 36 feet with a monument.
The PAESIDENT-Would you like a olsuse to that effect put in?
Mr. HOOPER-If you think it necessary. I think the justice of what I have stated must commend itself.
The MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH-Are not you overlooking the fact that between och
grave space there is a strip of Crown land?
Mr. HOOFER I won't press my point or make amendment, but it seems to me so unnece sary I thought you would have all grasped the point at once.
Hon. Mr. HawETT-I think there is a good deal in what Mr. Hooper says, and I would suggest that the matter be allowed to stand over, and the bye-laws brought up again at next meeting...
Mr. LAU CHU PAx-I think the best thing to do is to appoint a sub-committes to go into the question.
Hon. Mr. Hewer I beg to iggest that the words "Head of the Sanitary Department should be altered to "President of the Board," The power of the Board has been gradually whittled away till it has become almost a farce; and I object to any transfer at all, no matter how small it is, from the President of the Board to the Head of the Sanitary Department
The motion in favour of appointing a com mittee was agreed to, and the President, Mr. Lan Chu Pak and Mr. Hooper ware appointed
members.
The Board then resumed.
SCAVENDING CONTRACTOR PINED. The complaint against the scavenging and conservancy contractor for Shaukiwon was 308. sidered, the contractor appearing in person.
The PRESIDENT stated that there were three charges against the contractor, who failed to remove a quantity of nightsoil from Shaukiwin
on June 22nd
The contractor admitted this, but said there was a typhoon that day, ⠀
Sanitary Inspector COLLETT said the signals were up, and there were heavy rain storms, but there was no typhoon. The contractor had been very unsatisfactory for sometime.
The PRESIDENT There are other charges, but we are not proceeding with them, as it was considered those three would be sufficient to go on with. I might point out that another charge may be added of sub-letting the contract, which the sub-contractor admitted."
The contractor was then questioned by the
PRESIDENT
How often do you go to Shaukiwan P-Some
times.
How often? Once a week,
Who does your work ---My foreman,
Mr. HOOPER sald he received a letter from the Secretary in answer to his minute regarding the duties of the cemetery inaboo
inspector. The letter: said the inspector should act under the Instru tions of the Medical Offloor of Health. Mr. Hooper wished to know if he did not get his orders from the Head of the Department.
The PRESIDENT-It is a departmental si- rangement. I send my orders to the M. O. H. | for convenience usko. The inspectors report to the Medical Officer of Health before action is taken in any matter. If a matter of urgency
inspect the books once arises, I send for the inspector myself.: I a month, and the Medical Offoar of Health inspects them once a week.
Mr. HOOPER-Iseo that he should be present at every interment in the non-Chinese come- teries at Happy Valley. I would like to ask whether the Medical Offer and yourself are satisfied that lie curries out that duty?
The PRESIDENT-I cannot say definitely what the practice has been in the past, but I was at the cemetery. myself yesterday in order Partly to ascertain the routine of the work
thore.
I did not soo the inspector myself, nor did the head saxton, and I was in the cemetery from 3-30 till five o'clock. I had the inspector sent for this morning, and he informed me that he was there watching a Japanese grave being dug,
Hon. Mr. HEWETT-Do I understand that the inspector has got to be at the actual interment P
The PRESIDENT-Y89.
Hon. Mr. HEWITT-It is unfortunately my duty to bury two or three Europeans in a year but I have never yet, and I have buried a good many men in the Colony, soen a sanitary ins poctor at any of those, interments. The only persons I have ever seen were the Padre und Mr. Van Epps when I have been there myself with certain of my staff. At all the funerals I have attended in the last eight years I have never seen a sanitary inspector.
The PRESIDENT-My experience is not the Adme Within the last fifteen months. I have been to two funerale, and have seen two inspectors.
Hon. Mr. Ewäri-I did not know an in- spector ought to luve been there. If I had known I would have brought the matter to the notice of the Sanitary Board earlier.
The PRESIDENT-I think members, will be satisfied when I state that I have warned the inspector that his presence is necessary at all funerale at the Colonial Cemetery. In cases of Japanese funerals I informed him that he need not look on at the ceremony, as they did not like it.
Hon. Mr. HEWETT-With regard to the duties of the inspectors, when the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance Commission was sit fing we found it was very necessary and im portant that we should know which sanitary inspector was in charge of each district at a cortain date. There is no record. that that has been kept, and I think it is most desirable that a record should be kept, so that if a dispute crops up later on, there will be no question of the identity of the sanitary inspector.
The PRESIDENT-I don't think that own ariso now, bocanso they have their diaries to show where they are.
Hon. Mr. HEWETT-You ought not to trust to a man's diary; you ought to have a muster rall. We found it had handicapped us very severely in that Commission after sitting for the best part of a year.
The REGISTRAR-GENERAL—Can you tell me what is the object of an inspector being prosent at every non-Chinese funeral P
The PRESIDENT said it was to keep order. On Monday he saw a number of Japan is going to a Japanese funeral, and they were going along as if they were out for the day with their arms round each other. This was hardly the way to behave in a cemetery. He thought, on those grounds it was better that an inspector should be present, and, apart from that, he was the
I ave you any other contracts ?--Yes, the person to see that the undertaker's men carrie Aberdeen contract.
How many boats have you got?— Üne. The PRESIDENT pointed out that according to the man's contract he was required to have a boat at each place. Without two boala it was obvious that he could not fulfil the terms of the
contract.

The PRESIDENT-Complaints began in February, 1909.
The Board decided to fine the contractor $10 on each of the three charges, and to cantion him. He was also informed that he must fulfil his contract by getting another boat.
A report in a month's time as to how he has carried on the work is to be submitted to the
Board.
