Hon. Mr. Hewer-I do not think we have this power.

It is for the police to sea that the rat guards are used.

Tho PRESIDENT said he suggested in his minute that under section. 256 certain offisers of the Harbour Master's Department should be appointed by the Board to enforce the bylaws relating to the provision of rat guards. It was obvious that rat gunesis were not required except where ships were moored against the shore. Eren so, it was much simpler for boarding officers who had duties on board to dischargo this duty in addition to their ordinary duties." It would be a good plan to inercase the number of those who were able to deal with that par- ticular matter. As far as he was aware the

Board had power to delegate hathority to those officers. The byelaws did not cover it.

F. Mr. HEWETT said the matter could be dealt with by the Water Police.

The PRESIDENT repliol that the Water Police' had no power to deal with it.

Hon. M. HEWETT-Why shouldn't the Water Police attend to the matter instead of the Sanitary Board P

When this period expired at the ent of 1910, China
