That is hardly, an accurate description of what really occurred.

The Bill was referred to the Board and the Board "acquiesced" in certain modifications:

Pam 6.-The statement in the Petition was that concreting of floors was not required till 1804. The remark now made practically admits that concreting was provided for.

Para 7. In the first place the complaint in the Petition is that Mr. Chadwick's '(and not the Board's) recommendation for an improve- inent Fand had not been entried out.

In the second place the writer does not attempt to show that even in 1900 was the Government in a financial position to endow such a Fund. ...

Para. 7.—The remark does not disprove the accuracy of the statement in the memorandum. Para.d.-The report that it was thought, from the wording of the paragraph, was particularly. referred to was one from Major Brown, BAIM.C., which was forwarded to Government by the Board and found to be exaggerated

Para. 9-It is not claimed in the memoran- dum that nuisances caused by hackers do not exist..

Fara. 1.-Nevertheless, the inference to be drawn from the statement in the Petition is that latrine previously existed on the spot.

In the memorandum it is not. Para, 10. stated that the floard did so conteipplate.,

An explanation of the Board's not making application for a latrine at the spot is merely. hazarded.

Para. 16-That is so g

Para 13-It is not a question of what houses were reported as unfit for human habitation, but of what action was taken on the reports.

The records at the Magistracy show that with the exception of une single ground floor closed in 1898, no penises were closed by order of the Magistrate rill May, 1897.

That 4149 Nuisance Notices in respect of insanitary properties were served is not in any sense pertinent to the question."

Para 4-What is stated in the Memorandum is the fact..

The prosecutions referred to by Mr. Osborne were instituted under Ordinance 14 of 1845 for Nuisances, and not for over-crowding, and the insanitary condition aimed at in Ordinances 9 of 1867 and 7 of 1883 and the fines inflicted, as the records at the Magistracy will show, varied from to cents to a few dollars.

Para 16-One of the signatories of the Memorandum visited Canon with Dr. Low. son when the Plague had ceased here in 1894, for the express purpose of ascertaining whether the plague had ceased there. A visit to the City and the Canton Plague Hospital showed that it had...

Para 16-The fact remains that Mr Osborne signed the report of the Select Committee ap painted to consider the adequacy of the Sani-

The signatories of that Report (Dr Atkinson; Dr. Clark and Mr. Osborne) stated, "We also reconiniend the appointment of three additional First Class Inspectors and two additional Second Class Inspectors of Nuisances, whose services will be mainly employed in connection with Overcrowding, House Drainage and Food Adulterations.

In spite of Mr. Osborne's elaborate calcula tions, there is not a word in the Report about any extra inspectors for ordinary daily inspec tlon duty.

The chief difficulty in the introduction" of foreign capital hitherto has appeared to lie in Japan's icability 10 impresa foreigners with the soundness and richness of her resources, and this chiefly because the Government is so new. fa other words, it has hedged its securities and opportunities by an interminable amount of forms, regulations and red tape generally, until the average inventor takes alarm and, always sensitive of the strange and unknown, turns to other perbays less productive but simpler forms of investment. Japan is begin ning to realise that in giving a good secur ity she must first make that fact absolutely clear and well known, and secondly simplify thes conditions surrounding its disposal. On the other hand foreign capitalists are begin- | ning to realise that Japan offers an unique field for sound investment, if the official hedges surrounding it could only be reduced in num- ber and kept trimmed.

In conver- sation with a Press representative Sebilling stated that since he left Colombo, he had put in 4,500 miles of walking, which, with the 20,000 he had already done in America and Australia, makes a total of 24,000 solid miles.
