The President said it had occurred to him that the present method of procedure in dealing with infected rats should be reconsidered, Uuder the present system the ground floor of the house nearest to which an infected rat was picked up was disinfected, and the rat runs filled up with concrete after carbolic acid had been poured into them, but that procedure was likely to drive infected rates to others houses that were not infected His proposition was that these radical measures, be stopped during the prevalence of plague and efforts for the present to exterminate the rodents be confined to the use of bird lime and then rat-traps,

Mr. Pollock secanded, and the wiction was agreed to.

THE "ZAFIRO" MYSTERY.

SUPREME COURT CASE- The Manila Cablenews of the 8th inst.

states:-

The President said it appeared from a report

Health that there were at present in existence two cemeteries for Kowloon City-one at Ho Sheng Po and the other at Sai Yuen Shek. The former cemetery was already full, and the Medical Ofcerof Health had recommended that it be closed. In the latter there was room for four or five hundred more burials at least, and the President said he proposed to move that the Board recommend the Governor in Council to select a site for a cemetery for Kowloon City

The mysterious disappearance of $50,000 from the plan which he laid on the table. The site was to the north of the city, and the limits gold from the steamship Zafiro is still a would be given by the Public Works Depart-mynery and the matter will he aired in the Hongkong courts as soon as the interested parties can be assembled in the latter city,

Representatives of Messrs. Warner, Bames Manila who have an interest in the missing &C the Chinese consignees and others in funds will probably leave on the Zafro in order to be present when the case comes up,

It was learned from the Zafira yesterday motaing that the steamship line will claim that money never was placed aboard the vessel while of course the shippers will contend that it was. This is the same status of the cate as and the court to be convened will try to bring has existed ever since the loss was discovered, to light more definite information on the subject and fix the responsibility where it belongs.

cemetery is from Kowloon City?

Mr. Fung Wa Chun--May I ask how far this The President-It is close to it, within easy distance. It has already been used as a ceme

tery.

The President's motion was seconded by Mr. Fung Wa Chua and agreed to.

Correspondence was Inid on the table relative to the limits of Salyingpoon Market. This included a letter from Inspector H. G. Baker to the Acting Captain Superintendent of Police means of clearing all vegetable hawkers out of suggesting an extention of the limits as a Tocsim Street and Rinacker Street; making the eastern boundary Eastern Street, the Western boundary Western Street and the northern boundary Des Voeux Road; the hawkers congre gated in these streets in large numbers had quite a market, and were a nuisance to the neighbourhood. This letter was passed to the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon, who thought in spector Baker's suggestion an excellent one and recommended its adoption, adding that the present bound ries are too near the market, with the result that the place is overrun by hawkers to the detriment of the business of the

market stall-holders.

The President said it appeared that the present boundaries of the market were too near the market itself, and the result was that ment of people who had stalls in the market the place was overrun by hawkers, to the detri The suggested new boundaries were:-On the cast, Eastern Street; on the west, Western Street; and on the north, Des Voeux Road. The President then formally moved that these be the limits.

Mr. Fung Wahun thought there must have been some misunderstanding.
