The resolution of the Board was that the Government be respectfully requested to amend the Publis Health and Build- ings Ordinance, so as to give the Board power to make laws prohibiting the im portation into the Colony of any article af food, drink or ice.

BABIES.

Parsuant to notice, Dr. Koca asked: With reference to the case of rabies re- ported has it been possible to trace the source of infection or has any idea been formed as to its origin t

The CHAIRMAN: There was nothing in the known movements of the dog in ques tion from which any clue to the source of infection could be obtained. It seems probable that the dog' was bitten by a rahid dog in the wandering phase of the disease, and it is hoped that the latter animal died without doing further damage. 4 certain number of suspects, among them being the dog belonging to Mr. Stark, have been examited by the Government Bacteriologist, with négative results. Eight other dogs have been sent to Kennedy Town for observation. Of these one has since died, and the results de bacteriologien, examination will be notified to the Board in due course.

Dr. KöCH: In addition to the curfew order, will the Government consider the advisability of bringing in a regulation that all dogs in seagoing or river craft should be chained or caged while such vessels are in harbour or in communication with the shore ?

The CHAIRMAN: It is recognised by the Department that dogs on ships and junks. especially the latter, are.a. poten- tig source of rabies infection and the suggestion will be laid before Govern- ment. But it must be clear that a re- gulation "affecting the shipping of a port like Hongkong cannot be enacted without the fullest consideration. One difficulty will be that of distinguishing between junks plying to places outside the Colony and those plying only within our watern It would be inhiman to condemn dogs on the latter class of craft to perpetual de- privation of exercisa nahore.?

Dr. Koch: Does the Government make any and if so, what profit on the said
