At the fortnightly meeting of the Story Board which was held at the Post Office Building yes terday, . M. K. Lo asked a number of questions regarding the business of bone-boiling which is being conduced at certain premises in Kennedy Town. He enquired whether it word lead to the crea tion of insanity and unhealthy conditions for ships and firms in the vicinity, and whether it was a faet, that the busyess caused a noxious odour to adjacent s shops and premises.

Among the replies gin by "Mr. G. R. Sayer, the Chairman, it was stated that there was no vidence that the premises mentionel were in an insanitary "condition.

The Chairman also noted the sug gestion of allotting a separate site for those who wished to carry on

the trade.

Mr. Lo asked-
