NOTES AND COMMENTS.
A MONUMENT OF FOLLY.
In June, 1894, the Permanent Committee of the Sanitary Board cleared the inhabit- ants out of the greater number of the houses in the Taipingshan district of Victoria and closed up the entire quarter, the recommending very strongly to Government that the land should be acquired by Government by compulsory & purchase from the Crown Lessees and

that then it should cleansed and purified, dug over and laid out afresh for ballding purposes, with new streets and drains and on entirely different lines. This was done because the district was the hot-bed of the plague and so badly bullt and drained that nothing short of complete destruction and re-construction would render it fit for human habitation, The plague was stayed, and the Government did resume the property, paying something like three quarters of a million of dollars to the owners by way of compensation. The Government did not destroy the place by fire, but pulled down the bouses by hand and sold the bricks and timber in lots all over the Colony, thereby insuring the return of the plague in 1896. The Government have now laid out the ground afresh, redraining the whole area, making new and wider streets following the con- tours of the hills, and have set out some twenty-seven lots of land and offered them for sale by public auction, but have not succeeded in getting a single bld, for any one lot out of the twenty-seven. No one will buy. And why ?
NO ONE WILL BUY. The explanation is simple. No one will buy because the Government with 379 that absolute ignorance of local conditions NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS, .

Quarterly passes are now issued to the extent of 14 or 15 thousand, and, as there is no means of detecting the transfer of these passes to persons who are not really the holders of them, there appears to be a danger of the pass becoming a protection for rather than a safeguard against persons who are on evil bent.
