NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Sanitary Condition of the Colony,
.
At yesterday's meeting of the Legislative Council a blue book entitled "Correspond- ence Regarding the Sanitary Condition of Hongkong and Memorandum on Petition' dated 25th June, 1907" was laid on the table. The blue book contains the letters of the Chamber of Commerce to the Govern- inent on Sanitation and the replies thereto; His Excellency's despatch to Mr. Chamber- LAIN forwarding the correspondence with the Chamber of Commerce and asking for an expert in sanitation to be sent out ; next follows the petition itself with. its covering letter to MF. CHAMBERLAIN and two reports by Messes. CHATHAM and MAY respectively on the Works and Legislation undertaken to give effect to Mr. CHADWICK'S recom: mendations; and last a Memorandum on the Petition prepared by Messis, STEWART LOCK- HART, CHATHAM and MAY
We must say that His Excellency the

He goes on to regret, however, that cases of plague have been reported from the cleansed district of the town and argues that this does not promise well for the proposed dis. infection of the whole town in the spring. With regard to this we would like to point out to His Excellency that the disinfection as carried out in No. 5 Health District did not reach the bedding and clothing of the inmates. We are assured that in very many instances all bedding and clothing was care fully removed prior to the disinfection taking place. Thus it will be seen that there was plenty of opportunity of infection being brought once more into a disinfected house. We shall have more to say on the blue book Inter.
Jerry Buildings,
We are pleased to see that the Hon,,T. H. WORTENED has announced his return to the Legislative Council by giving notice of some very pertinent questions which he intends to put at the next miceting of that body. Amongst these is a query anent jerry buildings which have collapsed since 1st January, 19ob, the number of lives. lost thereby, and what precautions have been taken to prevent the erection, of jerry built houses in the "future. We do not for a moment expect that a satisfactory answer. will be given. Our officials are such adepts in the art of evasion that it requires a Solomon to frame a question from which
couraged by evasive answers, but will peg they will find no loophole of escape, but we trust that. Mr. WHITEHEAD will not be dis- away at the Government until such time as he has probed the matter of jerry building to the bottom. If Mr. WHITEHEAD will turn to the issue of the Telegraph for Junie 14th last, he will there find a statement of the fluties of our one Inspector of Buildings that will serve to show how necessary his question is, and. which may also help him somewhat in the framing of a second one' upon the sanic subject should the answer to to the first prove unsatisfactory.
Discontent in the Police. Another question of which Mr. WHITE HEAD has given notice deals with the ques tion of discontent in the Police Force. That discontent does exist we have known for a long time, and we think that we have set forth as plainly and as impartially as possi ble some of their grievances in our issue of the 27th instant. We do not say that all. these grievances are real. There is doubt less a good deal to say on the other side, and the men may or may not be found in the wrong. We have no means, of holding a commission of enquiry into the truth or otherwise of the statements made, but give them as they have been told to us. thing, however, we are sure, and that is that a great deal of discontent does exist and that the efficiency of the force is likely to be much impaired thereby. Is it not a fact that it is impossible to obtain trained men from the home forces and that recourse has been made to drafts from the Royal Marines? This alone should serve to show that our Police Force is by no means popular, and hence there must be a screw loose some where. This unpopularity has led to a fall- ing off in the physique of the men, easily noticeable by comparing the recruits with the old hands. This state of affairs requires investigation.
