The Surveyor General thought Mr. Francis: motion was in attempt to get the management "of the" Board into the hands of Dr. Ho Kai and himself, two of the most inveterate opponents of the Public Heakh Bill.
Dr. Cantlie said he would second Mr. Francis motion if the Chairman were made a member of The Committee.
Dr. Ho Kai suggested the adjournment of the debate till the bye laws were passed, but his motion was defeated by the Chairman's casting
vote.
Captain Deane proposed that the executive husiness of the Board be carried out by the Chairman during the interval of the meetings.
Mr. Francis baid that the Sanitary manage ment of the Colony had hitherto been in the hands of the Surveyor General, the Colonial Surgeon, and to a certain extent of the Super intendent of Pulice. But that method of carrying on the Sanitary work of the Colony had been discredited and disallowed, and the management was now referred to a deliberative assembly of which the president was only one member, and the Ordinance did not authorise their delegating
their functions to him,
Mr. Ede said one man was best able to act. He was responsible to the Board and would do The work best..

NAGASAKI, June 23, 1888. On June 8th of this year I visited Takasima coal mine. On landing, Linspected the water condensers used for supplying the miners with pure, drinking water. I insted the condensed | water and found it very sweet, pure, and with a very slight taste of iron. The quantity of water consumed for drinking and culinary purposes is is about 600 gallons for the barrack having 150 men. This is about 4 gallons pr bead a day.
In addition, or in place of, the above-mentioned condensed water, the miners are allowed to drink other water, which is brought to the island and sold there. Before any water can be used it must be examined and pronounced fit and safe for human use by the resident Doctor.
I then proceeded to examine the beef tea which gratis to the miners daily. There are is given three large Digesters holding 200 gallons each, Two of them are always kept working. I tasted. the beeftea and found it very good and nutritious. Twelve ounces of this beef tea are given to every man daily, and form the basis of all soups.
I examined the fresh beef, which had just come from Nagasaki, and found it sweet and of excellent character, Beef is given gratis from A very sad dreadful nccident occurred at Porttime to time, the quantity being about lb. per Arthur on the night of 3rd instant.

I then proceeded to inspect the miners' dwell. ing houses or barracks. I found then large, clean, and well ventilated. They are raised a foot and a half above the ground. In summer. by means of removing sort tands at the bottom of the houses, a free current of air passes upon which it is built. This space is swept and between the floor of the house and the ground cleaned from time to time.
In front and behind each house runs a well cemented drain, which is flushed daily by a very copious supply of water. Each house is sup- plied with two closets and one urinal, which are emptied daily. I then saw the baths which are used by the miners. I found three large ones for the men and two smaller ones for the women and better class of miners. All were kept quite elean and well supplied with warm water,
