to stil further improvement, and, as I have stated on other, becasians In many thingal would go much farther even then the Sanfary Board Intend doing
A chllects, however des reus they may be of introductag improvements, find it perfectly une less to do ko, as their clienis wish them as a rule, to comply atiicily with the leties of the law
and no more.
There is not the least doubt that the responsi- hillity for the bad type of most of the Chlatse honies in the Colony rests with the Government and the Sanitary Board; they are baib practically official bodica, with official majoristes, they could have carried any measures for im- proving the Saultation of the Colony and the erection of Chinese houses, they thought fit. notwithstanding any opposition from laterested pailles, and I have no hesitation in saying they ought to have done so long ago, the agitation an the matter having been commented as far back as 183, and practically little or nothing has been done since.
1 again beg lo state, that these houses on Marine Lot No. 13 are not back to back bosses, or that they will be insanity, and I should be glad to know from the Sanitary Board is what respect they are not in accordance with their own Regalaifons, or why they say they will be insanlary. The enjustifiable remark made abou: them will have a tendency to depreciate their valur, and give a good property a bid reputation.
