necessary, owing to the hilly nature of Hongkong, to use dust carts to convey it. to the sea. The routes covered by those carts were short, if indirect, and he did not see any real danger in exposing the rubbish. Supposing all the rubbish had to be carried though to one collecting depot say from Praya East to Pokfulum then there would be obvious reason for But, fortunately, covering the carta. that was not the case. They had a series of dust boats along the sea-front into which the rubbish could be deposited, and, thus, there was no unnecessary long It was halt in any part of the town. necessary to uncover the cart in order to deposit the rubbish, and it was not desir able to have to cover and uncover it as |it goes from house to house.
Then, having completed its rounds, it was not desirable to have to waste time to put the cover on. Another point wes that covers would considerably add to the weight of the carts, which, as they were, were difficult enough to handle. Besides, the main object of covers was to prevent dust from flying about, and our refuse was not dusty, being composed mostly of wet rubbish.

Mr. PERKINS, said he concurred with what the Chairman had said. He was of the opinion that if anything was necessary it was that nothing should be done to add to the weight of the carts, which were difficult enough to handle when going down some of the steep hills of the Colony. As for tarpaulin covers, he did not think that tarpaulin was suitable ar a cover, as it would entail considerable expense to keep the carts constantly supplied, destitut
