THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1896.

AND INFIRM.

We have pleasure, at the request of the Reverend P.da Maila (R. C. Naval and Military Chaplain), in publishing the following announce ment 1-

*ber of Commerce fn the Legislative Council. It PROPOSED HOME FOR THE AGED is a convenient way of deilgustine me, în compliance with the Parllimentary rule that forbide the use of names la debate, to spank of me se, the Representative of the Chamber of Commerce, and although I am alected and nominated by the Chamber of Commerce, Ian - appolated by the Queen, and I represent on the Council, together with nay, colleagues, the general interests of the community and not of any particular section of it. I am no more the representative of the Chamber of the Council then are Messrs Bell-Irving and Bellios the representatives of the Government' on the Council because they are selected and nomi- Hated for the honour by your Excellency.

.

-****

Nether bas the Government, at any time, *ecognised the Member of Council, nominated by the Chamber, as representing it, or entitled to speak on its behalf. When the Government has desired, for any purpose, to ascertain the oplaten or obtain the sivice of the Chamber it. bas tawariably addressed itwell by letter to the Chairman or to the Committee of the Chamber.

As to Your Excellancy's reference to a date," and your request to be informed if I have

mandato H

from the British members of the Chamber of Commerce to oppose the Sanitary Board Bill, may I be permitted to remaind your Excelency that only the Chamber as a whole- Britlak and foreigners combined-could give me a mandato, li such a thing were possible, and that I could not be the mandataire of a section of the Chamber. But there is no such thing as a mandate known to English Parilamen- tary practice. It is a foreign invention, and members of Legislaturen in Great Britain and her Colonies have always refused to be the mandataires of their electors They have always claimed, no malter by whom elected, to exercise their own intelligence en til questions coming before the Legislativo Bodies of which they were members, and to act according to the best of their judgment for the laterests of the entire community and not according to the views of their immediate

electors, As to the general question, my own opinion is that if the community was fairly canvassed an the subject, a' considerable majority of the British residents would be found to be in favour of a popularly-elected Sanitary Board, toffk adequate powers and an efficient stag, in pro- ference to any Board on which there was an official majority, and I should be very glad Indeed to co-operate with your Excellency In obtaining a plebiscitum on the subject. Il will be an immense step in advance in the methods of Colonial Government, shou'd your Excellency think well to an

apply it.

As to my own oplulans I have expressed nona as yet in Council on the subject except in so far as I have said, what I think the Government admit, that it is a retrograde step to have to change back from the popularly constituted Board, established in 1988, to the sider form of Sanitary goverement by « Department or by a Board with an official majirity, ualosa there are very|| grave reasons to justify the step. Your Excel- leucy has expressed yourself as favourable to popolar forms of government where possible. I am open to conviction, and if the Government
