The President-You mean more especially as to notification?

The Vice-president-I beg to second the motion that the issue of this memorandum be

M. Feng Wa Chun-I am afraid it is a very difficult question, this differentiation between fever and plague.

The President-I think we might leave it to the Medical Officer of Health to put in a simple form the information required by Mr. Osborne.

The motion was agreed to.

:

ANTI-PLAGUE INOCULATION.

The President-Whilst dealing with this matter, I may mention that a fresh supply of Anti-plague serum has arrived in the Colony, Indian and European experience leaves no doubt as its protective influence when it is injected subcutaneously. It is not a complete protection, but undoubtedly an attack after the serum has beenlinoculated is of a milder nature; and it occurred to me that there are many Europeans in Hongkong who might with ad- vantage be inoculated, and that as speedy as possible. I refer more especially to those who

Hon. W. Chatham-I would suggest 12 feet or so not less than 10-on the Praya; and 20 feet in the other cases.

On the motion of the President this sugges tion was adopted-namely to feet in the one case and zo feet in the other.

WORK OF CLEANSING CANES, The Secretary laid on the table a report of the work done by the cleansing gangs during the fortnight ended 18th January. It bore that 924 houses had been cleansed, 1,850 doors fumigated, and 7,785 floors cleansed. The number dealt with in the previous fortnight (which contained however four public holidays) was 69t. The number of houses lime-washed during the fortnight ended 15th January was

2237.

Hon. W. Chatham-It seems to me that this

are of considerable dimensions and if they are open to the full extent possible while the water is turned on they of course would draw off a large quantity of water and prevent its rising to other peinis, so that possibly what I have alluded to will tend to alleviate the conditions to which Mr. Osborne has referred.

THE LATE CAPT. W. C. H. HASTINGS, R.N.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HONGreng Telegraph."

DEAR SIR,In the passing away of Cupt. Eastings a most notable man and a most con- scientious public servant has been lost. It is not too much to say that no official who ever. drew pay in Hongkong did more to earn it to the utmost of his ability than he did."

Fitted by nature and training to organize and command he was at his best when, so employed.

If any man was ever entitled to be called the "Handy Man "he surely was, whether he was Harbour Master, Chief of the Police, Gover- nor of the Gaol, Police Magistrate, or Post- master General. he always worked right up to. the collar, no shirking however new the work or disagreeable it was, but just doing it to the very best of his ability and"power.

His earlier training and experience, gained before he came to this colony, gave him many advantages over the average official, who is evolved from the cadet trained in a narrow groove, but the fact that he was not one of these heaven born individuals opcrated to his detri ment on more than one occasion.

In those dreadful weeks of 1894 when the work is making very satisfactory progress, death inte from plague was daily mounting, Might I ask when it will probably be cemt it rose above the hundred, and the Tung plated?

Wah people could not, or would not, take care Dr. Clark-We have been at it now for sixptain Hastings was appointed. As coolies of the bodies, something had to be done and

weeks, I am afraid we shall go' very much slower now, because we are getting low in our water supply. We have to carry water up in bucketsful from the Prava for the cleansing operations and it will probably take us half the day to carry up the necessary amount.

WATER SHORTAGE.

Mr. Osborne-1 should like, if I am in order to ask the Director of Public Works if he will kindly state for the information of the Board whether any steps are about to be taken for supplying water as was done some years ago when we had a similar drought and when lighters were employed in bringing water from the Capton River. I do not know that this matter altogether concerns the Sanitary Board, but it certainly concerns us. A great deal: 1 think we should not allow this meeting to pass without saving something on the subject and endeavouring is far as possible to meet this drought. I believe that good water can be ́obtained on the other side and brought over here and distributed along the Praya-soid, if need be. I have been told of one instance of Chinese down in the East Point direction not being able to get water at all from the hydrants, and to-day am told by a Portuguese on the Caine Road level that there also they cannot get water without fighting for it at the hydrants, and that they would gladly send their coolics

could not be got he set about getting together litle corps of men chiefly from the sailors home, and by their aid the dead were buried as fast as possible and the scandal mud danger of the corpses of phagus victims remaining unburied was obviated. The pressure was so great on some days that Captain Hastings had- to assist with his own hands in coffining the bodies; this most disagreeable and dangerous duty he carried out with chaey zoicism, and by precept and example kept his gang at work when otherwise they might have got disgusted. or frightened.

On one occasion, I remember, he said that. he had disposed of 108 bodies before tiffin.

Of the three men who worked hardest to stem the plague in that year the late Mr. antis, C. was offered an inkstand, Mr. May got a C.M.G, and Captain Hastings, who Eid the most dangerous work, got thanks.
