PLAQUE PREVENTION IN HONGKONG.

AFFLICATION TO “CÆSAR." The members of the Hongkong Sanitary Board met yesterday, and one of the items on the "genda was the consideration of a minute from the Colonial Secretary relative to Prof Simpson's preliminary memoranda R plague prevention in Hongkong. There were present Dr. J. M. Atkinson, Principal Civil Medical Officer (President); Dr, Clark, Medical Officer of Health; Lieut. Col. Hughes, R.A.M.C.; Hon. W. Chatham Director of Public Works; Hon. F: 1. Radeley, Captain Superintendent of Police Mr. E. Osborne, Mr. E. R. Hallifax. Mr. Fung Wa Chan, Mr. Lau Chu Pak, and Mr. G. A. Woodcock (Secretary),

SUGGESTIONS.

The President-Professor Simpson's mem Granda has been forwarded for the considera tion of members of the Board, and we have to make any remarks or suggestions concerning them, Mr. Osborne has practically said what I was going to say with reference to Mr. Chad. wick's report, and I would reecho his remarks with reference to Professor Simpson's. His memoranda was considered at a special meeting held in Tanuary, and the Board recommended that all Professor Simpson's suggestions shoul 1 becarried out, which recommendation has been in part given effect to. I refer more especially to the appointment of extra medical assistants, the increase in the number of rat-catchers, the establishment of disbict offices and the supply of further accommodation for the staff. I think it would be very much better if the Board

until the members have received the final re-. port of Professor Simpson, as I understand that another report is coming. In the circum- stances I think it would be more satisfactory if we postpone any remarks or suggestions we have to make until we get the final report.

vision unless we haywone head-one adminis- trative head, who will have the Sanitary Department in his hands, and give his whole time and attention to them. For these reasons I think we must give immediate effect to the recommendations made by Professor Simpson, and I beg to move accordingly.

Lieut-Col. Hughes, seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously.

THE SANITARY BOARD, AND MR. CHADWICK'S REPORT.

Dr. Clarke submitted a minute at yesterday's meeting of the Sanitary Board advising the members to concur in certain recommendations of Mr. Chadwick which we published yester- day. The first two items were agreed to with. out discussion, and, as to the third Mr. Oshore | moved that the regulations in force in the City of Victoria be also made to apply to Kowloon. Hon. F. J.. RadeÏcy-I think we might strengthen that paragraph if we draw attention also to the extreme danger of large conflagra--| tions if we have intermittent supplies.

Referring to No. 4. Mr. Osborne said—With regard to that sir, I would point out as a sugges tion that when the water is running to waste in the reservoirs, during that time the water should be practically given free to people, as it is now. If it is running to waste-running over

increase has been a general one and is spread over Hongkong and all our European Branches. As the goods were imported last year at better rates of exchange than have as yet prevailed this year, these full stocks should prove bene ficial, especially as they have enabled us to considerably reduce our imports this year. Amongst our Assets three new property ac. counts appear as follows —

13,88464 The buildings on Section E. I.L. No, 19 are accupied by our warehouse and wholesale Departments, and as we had an advantageous chance to repurchase instead of leasing, we considered it best, supported by the advice of the Consulting Committee, to do so. The Sar Jacinto land and buildings were purchased so as to secure a permanent site for our Manila Soda Water Factory when we were obliged to move it away from the Escolta, However, Inter on we were enabled to remove the factory back to the Escolta, and the San Jacinto property is now let at a profitable rental pending its advantageous sale. The property at Iloilo was acquired for the purpose of open ing a business there, the site being an excel lent one for doing so; bit later, owing to the unsettled state of that portion of the Philip piness; your General Manager and Consulting Committee decided not to go on with the scheme, and we are at present negotiating for the sale of the property. Section A. of 1.L. No. 17 and the Buildings thereon does not appear in the accounts now before you as it was sold during the year at its book value and subject to a short lease of it to us until we are able to get into our new premises under construction on the Praya Reclamation.

Mr. Osborne-The remarks I made just now in connection with Mr. Chadwick's report fall with even greater conviction on Professor Simp son's report.

Mr. Osbome-The Director of Public Works does not quite understand me At the begin ning of the wet season, say, the meter would be read, and when the water is running to waste it should be supplied free. When the dry season came the meter would be read again and the full, change made. The meter would be read twice-once at the commencement of the wet season and once at the end.

Cæsar has sent out these two experts to judge between the community on the one side, in the statements it has made as to the insanitary condition of the Colony, and the statements that have been made on the other side. Now, sir, having applied to Cæsar, I think everyone must agree that we are bound to abide by Cesar's decision, and if the re- commendations of these sanitary experts are of any value at all, they are worth being put into effect immediately. Perhaps not all of them can be put into effect, and although the exception of Pokfulum, did not averflow at quite agree with you, sir, that in some respects all, so that if the Foard decided to adopt any. it would be better to wait until we have Pro-thing of this sort it would be equally unwork- fessor Simpson's final report.
