DEPARTMENT.

Hongkong, March 25th, 1904. Sir,- am instructed to draw your attention to the subject of cotton cultivation the New Territory I have therefore collected the fol. lowing short summary from all the information which I have before me upon the 'agricultural side of the question, and beg that you will favour me with any remarks which y. u may have to make upon its commercial aspect.

The most important question bearing upon the passility of successful cotton cultivation in Kwanglung is the question of climate. The seasons of the district are so peculiar that it would not be safe to assume that a plant wou'd be successful until it has been tried.

The experiment in the case of alton seems to be worth making, for in the cotton growing districts both in Central China and in Northern THE annual meeting of seatholders in Uniontung.

The cotton crop would only be in the ground from the first rains in April and May until the Autumie, and would therefore be independent

of the North East monsoon: There is some doubt whether the dry winds of late Autumn would check the ripening of the capsules, but it is probable that the more rapid growth of the crop during our hot summer would ensure their perfection in time. Even if this were found not to be the case, irrigation might be economical if the crop proved a valuable one.

The land now under cultivation in the New Territory is probably about ten thousand acres, and a large proportion of this would be suitable for cotton cultivation. There is also a vast area in other parts of Kwanglung equally suitable.

If the crop is found to succeed, the small farmer would probably take it up. They have already seen and made use the advantage of growing some products of foreign origin for which a market exists in Hongkong, and they might take especially quickly to this industry, because it is widely spread in other parts of China and has, therefore, been moulded upon lines suitable to the conditions of small tene. ments.

HOUSE DRAINAGE IN HONGKONG.

At the meeting of the Sanitary Board to- morrow afternoon, Mr. Rumijahn, pursuant to notice, will ask the following questions:-

1. Will the President be good enough to have the Drainage Plans of the following blocks of buildings circulated and laid on the table, (a) Nos. 487 to 497, Queen's Road West, situ te on a portion of Marine Lot No. 126, (recently erected); (b) Nos. 174 to 190, Des Vœux Road

West g houses, situate on the Southern Portion of Praya Reclamation of Marine Lot No. 58, (recently erected); and (c) the blocks of build- ings, situate on Marine Lot No 27, (14 or 15 houses, now nearing completion)?

2. As, on reference to the plans above referred to, it will be noticed that in every block, each building is provided, in its own back yard, with only one trapped inlet, to an underground drain, for the purpose of ordered to be sent back to Canton, and to be receiving all the stops and other foul waters, given Sa out of the Poor Box, the creature im- mediately thrust out two quivering hands in her

eagerness to feel the touch of so much money:

IT is anticipated in some quarters that the set- tlement of the outstanding differences between this country and France will lead to a revival

of the Channel Tunnel Scheme. All sensible men regarded the dangers with which the con- struction of the tunnel was associated as greatly

the dangers, such as they are, would not be affected by the removal of all existing causes of difference between this country and France. All the objections to the Channel Tunnel were based on military grounds. Some people held that it would facilitate an invasion of this coun- try, and that the danger would remain, whatever [45 be the state of the relations between France

houses), and that the system is being misused by the tenants, by their throwing foul waters on the back yards, which thus flow, through the surface channel from house to house along the whole length of the blocks, whereas according

bat may be thrown on the back yard, as well as the rain water from one-half of the roof and from the roof of the kitchen of that building, will the President be good enough to state whether the plans, above referred to, are in compliance with the requirements of Section 38 of the Drainage Bye-laws contained

in Ordinance 13 of 1901 ?

the drainage bye-law quoted above, such waters may be thrown on the back yards, and' therefore a trapped inlet should be provided in every back yard to receive such waters, as in. stanced in the blocks of buildings mentioned in question, and in the majo ity of the bui dings in the Colony, and as regards the contention of the Sanitary Surveyor that the surface channel is provided solely for the purpose of carrying off the rain water from one-half of the roofs, such statement having been pointed out by me as incorrect, as such rain waters received into a trapped inlet, will the Fresident-should he still be of the opinion that the surface channel in the blocks of buildings in Des Voeux Road and Caine Road is in conformity with Section 37 of the Drainage Bye-laws, (Section 37:-" Rain water shall be diverted from, house drains by means of surface channels, or otherwise to the fullest extent practicable")-be good enough to slate under which section (if any) of the- Drainage Hye-laws has the Drainage Plan of the block of buildings in Robinson Road referred to in question 4 been passed, on the face of the fact, that not only all the foul waters from 'eich house conveyed, from house to house through out the whole block, through an open surface

channel, but all the rain water from one-half of the roofs of the whole block of buildings are emptied into one solitary trapped inlet, provid- ed at the end house of the block?

6. As it is now an incontrovertible fact that

the

systems of drainage adopted in the blocks of buildings in Des Venx Road Central, Caine Road and Robinson Road, are danger. ous to public health and contrary to the provi. sions of our Drainage Bye-laws--will the Pre- sident be good enough to direct, under the pro- visions of Section 192 of Ordinance No. of 1903, that steps be taken to remedy the defects in the drainage of these three block of build- ings and any other building, whose drainage is defective?

Mr. Rumjaku, pursuant to notice, will move then--that a Select Committee be appointed to consider whether the various systems of

House brainage adopted in this Colony are in accordance with the law and provided the above is the case whether it would be advisable to amend the Drainage Bye-laws at present in force.
