Notes and COMMENTS.
We note with very great regret the death from plague of Inspector G. MOFFATT, one of the officers of the Sanitary Board. He was actively engaged in 1894 and during the present outbreak in the difficult and dangerous work of searching for and removing plague patients and in the multifarious duties of a Sanitary Inspector. He was a thoroughly rellable and trust- worthy man, of considerable Intelligence and great activity, and he will be a very great loss to the Department. We hope that the Government will take special note of his services and of the fact that he has fallen in battle against the plague, struck down in the performance of his duties, and 29 the direct and immediate result of his zealous
endeavours
to suppress the plague. We trust that no technical rule will prevent his widow from receiving, if not a pension, a hand- some compassionate allowance in recog, nition of his services and of her great loss. If the Government does not think fit to make a special exemption in his favour, we hope and believe that the community, who so fully sympathized with the relatives and friends of the late Captain VESEY, will not fail to give expression to their gratitude and regret in this case, and, If need be, give material assistance, If assistance should, as it most probably will, be required. We commend. Mrs. MOTTATT to the care of the Unofficial mem- bers of Council, in whose power it lies to sanction a public grant, and with whose approval, if assured of it beforehand, the Governor will hardly hesitate to bring the matter before the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council,

There has been a rush of work daring the last year, necessitating a great amount of overtime, and consequently many of the belter class of workmen have been drawing very big pay. The Sanitary Beard regulations were much resented by some of these men, and the preva- lence of plagus gave them an excure to take s month's leave, so as to enjoy their savings, As regards returning, some of these mƯỚCH thought the present a good opportunity to obtain higher wages, and to delayed their return.
