EXTERNAL AIR."

There was submitted an application relative to the question of "external air" in respect of Nos, 2 to 68 Bridges Street.

Mr. Lau Chu Pak minuted: None of the

yards in the existing Chinese tenement houses is 13 feel wide. I think the Board should recommend Government to exempt every house with a yard not under 8. feet wide and allow two cubicles to be erected on the upper flours of such a house as originalty suggested by the sub-commitice. If, as minuted by the Assistant as external air, the amendment Ordinance will M.0,1., an 8 fest yard should out be reckoned practically inflict the same hardship as the anginal Ordinance."

The minute of the Assistant M.O.H. (Dr. Barnett) refrised to above was as follows:-"] do not think a yard of 8 fert ought to be counted as external air. If the rear wall of the open space could be removed (why it was ever built I can't understand) the window in rear would open into external ar."

r. A. Rujahn minuted :-"I know these ha ses very well. Besides the yard there is a When the plan of these backyard in the rear. houses was passed aboyt two years ago a backyard was on then required. If the Board wouldnutie commen- this application, practical- by almost all houses buik prior o the passing of Ordinance of 1,03 could not succeed in getting exemption for there are very few blocks of buldings that have a yard and a back lane. Besides the provisions of the expression "exter nat air" are not consistent with the require- ments of modera sanitation. The result f the Insanitary Properties Co "mission was the enactment of Urdinance 36 of 1899. Owners of property were then induced to provide a back lase in keu of a backyard; and Section 8 Subsection a of that Ordinance empowered the making of a back lane 6 feet wide in the place of a yard & leet wide in order to encourage land-owners to provide a back lane alo..e for a block of buildings. In 1901 when the Govern- ment thought that the Insanitary Properties Ordinance was not drastic enough the Public Health Ordinance 13 of 1901 was enacted.

The owner of this property, through no fauit of his, will suffer a great injury if his application is refu-ed, and the wall referred to by the Assistant M. 1. 1. has been built in full compliance with the law that has been repealed by the existing Ordinance."

The successful attack made by the Japan ess torpedo flotilla, upon the Russian fleet while at anchor in Port Arthur, will probably only be vaguely understood by those who have mot seen torpedo boats enter a harbour on a dark night. At first sight it would appear as if there had been an extreme lack of vigilance on the part of the Russian fleet; but the fact of the torpedo boats having carried out their work of destruction so successfully by no means confirms this. On a black and otherwise favourable night it is not such a difficult task as some would suppose for these little craft to glide, un observed, into an enemy's port. Let us try and picture to ourselves the scene, as it must have appeared from on board one of the torpedoed men-of-war. We must sup pose that the Russian fleet, aware of the proximity of the Japanese, would have taken precautionary measures at nightfall for some days previously. These would, in the main, A. S. WATSON & Co., consist in putting out all lights that were not absolutely necessary; screening carefully all those that were, and maintaining a strict silence throughout the night in order that no elne should be given as to the position of each ship.
