Let us admit that it is impossible to attain com- piete perfection; granting that (which) should go without saying) we mean that the sanitary authorities in Hongkong. should aim at making the place a less fertile nursery for disease-germs, rather than hope to escapa pestilence by settings unavoidably held over. up barriers against the Introduction of germs from other places. If Hongkong could be entirely cut off from the rest of the world, we still have disease enough and to spare, disease of our own making, germinating In every street and alley-way of the town.

LOCAL AND GENERAL. Oux report of to-day's Sanitary Board meeting
If Hongkong had a Sanitary Board worth the name, a Health Officer up to the mark,
and a Colonial Surgeon with a practical Instead of an official mind,
personality of the responsible Individual is an im portant factor. It is desirable to avold recrimination or polemical discussion, in face of a danger that may be as ruinous to Hongkong as to Bombay; but first and foremost it is necessary to insist on one basis of operations, one plan of campaign, one ruling principle. The ruling principle In fighting the ever-imminent danger of epidemica in Hongkong is that Hong kong must be cleansed, or else Hong. kong will continue unwholesome.. Is that a meaningless expression? Is that an im- possibility? The sewage that slops over Queen's Road Central, opposite the door of the principal hotel, to disgust visitors, from all the world-this must be stopped. Is that meaningless or impossible? The revolting rookeries In D'Aguilar Street should be cleansed, not merely when the plague la rife, but regularly in times of
WINES & SPIRITS.security. Is that meaningless? Is It Impossible? The Sanitary Staff should send cleansing parties In the known pestiferous parts of the town, not after but nurseries of disease, the poorest and most before the dutbreak of epidemic, Is that sufficiently plain and practical?
