by contractors, as heretofore. Against this increase, duo to the provision of a staff for | this work, has to be put the fact that the Board will not be paying scavenging con- tractors, and it has been estimated that the decrease in money spent on the contract witt about balance the increase
in the establishment charges. The Hon. Mr. HEWETT, e a member of the Sanitary Board, has been opposed to this change, Seemingly because he has no longer any faith in government "estimates," after the striking evidences we have had of their unreliability, in connection with the new Law Courts, the Post Office; the Railway, the Kowloon waterworks and other under- takings. However, so far as the increase in
the establishment charge of the Sanitary
Department is concerned, the Government offers a satisfactory explanation, but it remains to be soon whether this increase in establishment charges will actually be balanced by savings under "other charges." If so there will be no increase in the total expenditure of the Department Deducting the increase in the Sanitary Department salaries from the total, we have still a sum of 852,356 shown to be due to the creation of new posts, at a time when, baving regard to the depressed state of trade and the general financial circumstances of the Colony, constant watchfulness is neces- sary onthepart of the Government, as on the part of every trip, to koop down expenses, Looking over the list laid on the table at the Council meeting on Thursday we note that, as the Hon. Mr. HEWETT observed in his speech a week ago, there is an increase in most departments, but the principal net increases following: Colonial Secretary's Depart ment, 84,100, due to the addition of two
