Ar the meeting of the Legislative Council held this afternoon several matters of the ⚫ utmost interest to the welfare of this Colony were brought forward for the considera- tion of the members. As the sitting only The Honourable W. H. MARSII, C.M.G.,

latines all over the City of Victoria is still un- der the consideration of the Board, whose report will be forthcoming upon the completion of the calmate of cost of acquiring the present latrine sites in the City. The final settlement of this question involving so large an expense, The Sanitary Board, however, would respect- will doubtless be deterred yet some little time. fully submit the necessity of building, with as little delay as possible, three tree public latrines in the village of Yaumáti and two in the village of Hung Hom and would request for this purpose a grant of $3,800.

9-Touching the village of Hung Hom I am to call attention to the need of funds for the pur- pase of putting this village in something like decent sanitary Order. In its present condi- tion Hung Hom is a source of grave danger to the Public Health, and it is considered by the Public areproach to the Government. Money is needed to widen, straighten, and level the village street, and lanes, to abolish putrid cess-pools, to re- claim an offensive mud foreshore, and to carry out elementary drainage works. It is estimated that $5,000 will defray the cost of meeting the more urgent needs of this village, and I am to apply for a grant to this amount. SANITARY WORKS, HONGKONG.

10-At the village of Yaumdtl, matters are 5,000 feet run of glazed stone-ware spigot and socket drain pipes; internal diameter 4 inches, not very much better than at Hung Hom, but the Sanitary Board is sanguine that after the promulgation of the Rules and Regulations un- thickness one half inch.

6-To facilitate the hauling up of boats in bad weather the northern bank or edge of the Causeway should be finished off with a gentle slope extending down to the water's edge. The slope should be rough paved between low water and high water marks, with the stones which abound in the neighbouring quarries. This item will cost $3,000 making the total estimate, $30,000,

therefore to take notice, that from August 1st next, I shall accept no retainers and transact no business, whether in or out of Court, except for cash. I have conferred with the Registrar and ascertained from him what are the fees al towed on taxation in ordinary cases, and I shall be content as a general rule to accept fees in accord- ance with that scale. I trust that this determination of mine will not cause you any inconvenience. Of one thing I am-sare, and that is, that any temporary inconvenience you may be put to in the first instance will be more than compensated for in the long run by increased business and greater
