Artoros of recent discussions in this Colohy with respect to sanitation, we notice that, in the last discussion at the Royal Colonial Institute in London, in the debate on Mr. Griffith's paper on West Africa, Mr. Colin Graham-Rosenbush, said: "The subject has been ably treated by late Consul for Italy and Holland at sierra Leone, Mr. Griffith in the admimble paper he has just read, and has also been well spoken to by Mr. Grant and the previous speaker. I will there. fore make but few remarks. With regard to the climate, I should like to observe that, previous to the administration of sir John Pope Hennessy, very little attention was paid to sanitation.... There is a long list of Governors, from Licut- enant Clarkson in 1797, and Mr. Ludlam in 1808, to Sir Arthur Kennedy in 1877, and not one of them had given a thought to the health and sanitary improvement of the Colony, and Mr. Hennessy was the first to set apart a sum of money-£1,200-for the purposes of sanitation."
