The Colonial Secretary la'd on the table a copy of sanitary, bye-laws for the control of oplum divans.

The Hon. C. P. Chater seconded the motion, saying that, from the petition, it was evident that the Farmer was of opinion that the bye. laws would injuriously affect his interests. He certainly thought the Farmer should have an
bearing.
The Attorney-General opposed the motion, saying that it bad been pointed out that the divans were fruitful sources for the propagation of disease. He contended that the present bye-law contained nothing objectionable and that if the Farmer did lose by them It would be because he was now overcrowding them.
