THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH TUESDAY, JUNE 12

SANITARY BOARD.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the Sanitary Board was held in the Board room this after. nunn, when the following business was trans. acted.

OVERCHOWDING.

A return relative to overcrowding, during the month of May, 19:6, was submitter, show. ing that 215 a tesul of prosecutions 4091 persons were displaced in the City of Victoriu, The Hon. the Registrar General minuted: Are we sure the people have been displaced ?

CIMETERY FOR CHINESIC.

+

The Hon. the Registrar. General submitted a minuto relative to reserving a cemetery for Chinese, na follows; I should like the atten. tion of the Board drawn to this subject. A cemetery of the kind ought to be reserved, and Chinese who wish to build family, vaulis told they may select a site within it.

A resolution held at a Board meeting on' the 11th July, 1901, was submitted, wherein the President moved: That the Board recommend that a cemetery for wealthy Chinein be set apart on a portion of the land lying between Aberdeen Channel and Deep Water Bay, the aven-to be about ijo acres, and the land to be parchased at any time for graves only.''

Mr. Fung Wa Chun seconded that motion and it was carried."

The Secretary said: No action appears to have been taken in connection with this re- solution. The papers, it is supposed, were sent to the committee, as the question of a site in

substitution for Mount Caroline was referred back to them, and have been mistaid as they cannot be found in the office.

Mr. Lau Chu Pak minuted: Such a cemetery is urgently wanted. At present the well-to-do Chinese have not get a decent place to bury their dead in,

Mr Fung Wa Chun minuted The resulu tion passed some years ago should be put into execution.

PLAGUE AT VAUMATI..

Dr. Macfarlane having reported the occur rence of three fatal cases, of plague at the Yaumati Police Station, two patients. being Intian constables, and one a Chinese barrack sergeant, the Principal Civil Medical Officer of Health recommended that the place be vacated until it could be thoroughly overhauled, but the Captain Superintendent of Palice reported that he had no place in which to house the mell. It was therefore suggested that tem- porary quarters be dbtained for the men who steep on the premises.

The matter being submitted to. His Excel- lency the Governor, His Excellency said: 1 have in. fructed the Captain. Superintendent of Police to hire quarters for his men near the Yaumati l'olice Station and to transfer the men there as soon as possible.

Dr. Macfarlane recommended the transfer of the Ch nese occupying the three ground floors the men to the Board's isolatina block, provided

were allowed to return to their own homes in Station street, which were closed by order of the Board. There had been no plague in their families, but only came from houses where there had been plague cases, in the upper flours, This would leave the ground finors empty, and the police could be put on the first and second flants which are well ventilated and clean.

We much regret to report the death of Mr. Herbert Maurice Bevis, an o'd' and very well known manager of the Hongkong and Shang- hai Banking Corporation. It will be remem bered that Mr. Bevis suffered from a severe ill- ress in Hongkong about 18 months ago and that on his recovery he proceeded home on leave. His death now at the age of 51 was, we regret to say, due to his own action. fle had been depressed Intely, and on the morning of 4th alt. he left his residence in Ashley-gardens, Victoria-street, and went to his club at 86, St. James's street, where he ordered abath. Before going to the bath-room he asked the hall porter to send a boy on an errand; When the reply came no answer could be got from the mom and the door had to be forced. At the inquiry which had naturally to be held, Mr. 1. Howard Gwyther identified the deceased as his brother -in-law, whom he last saw alive a fortnight ago, when he was not at all well. Apart from his health there was no trouble of any kind. He had been given to understand that he felt no longer fit for active occupation, which he thought had become so intolerable that it affected his mental condition. Sir Francis Laking, who was called to the club, stated that the deceased had, while sitting in a warm bath, cut his throat with a new, razor and was quite dead. There was a fully-charged revolver in the room, but none of the cartridges had been discharged Dr. William Harigan said he had known Mr. Bevis for a number of years. His whole nature had quite changed when he returned from China, doubtless due to his ill ness. On April a he consulted witness about going abroad again, and witness told him that he was unfit to go. The climate of China affected one mentally, and when a man broke down in health the previous effects of living there would come out very strongly. Such being the medical evidence the cause was His Excellency the Governor approved, ard attributed to temporary insanity. The follow end the charge should be made against a plague. ing letter was found in Mr. Hevis's coat, hang-item of the Sanitary Board. ing on the wall-"74, Ashley gardens, B.W.

AN UNFORTUNATE COOLIE.

CAUGHT IN SINGAPORE WITH HONGKONG OPIUM.

The report of the committee appointed to investigate certain complaints in regard to the publication of the market price lists was sub- mitted and was as follows:-

We have investigated Dr. Pearse's complaint of April 24th that the market price list, as published by the South China Morning Posts on the previous day, did not correspond with the Inspector of Markets' list, and a return is furnished which shows the prices returned by the Inspector, the prices published by the Morning Post on April 23rd, and the prices published by the Daily Press on the zrat April, from a similar list. From this statement it would appear that in thirty-three items the Morning Post differs from the Inspector's list, and that published by the Daily Press.

We are satisfied that there was no intention- al alteration of the figures by the newspaper and that such discrepancies as existed were the result of printer's errors, nou-delivery of the corrected list, etc.

We recommend that

The following paragraph appeared in a re- cent' number of the Eastern Daily Mall: Fong Seong is a new arrival from Hongkong on his way to Klang. On Friday morning he was leaving Tanjong Pagar Dock when he was stopped by a revenue officer. Fong Seong is alleged to have offered the officer $2 to let im go. This roused the chinting's suspicions and Fong Seong was searched, with the result that a packet of opium pills was found on his person. He was charged before Mr. Nathan with being in possession of illicit chands and secondly with offering an illegal. gratification. The pills were tested and found to contain opium. They were made from Bongkang chandu dross and were valued at $7.50. Accused in. his defence stated that he purchased the pills in Ilongkong for 80 cents and took them as medicine.

LIMEWASHING, PROCEDURE. Correspondence was submitted relative to the limewashing procedure for disinfecting. Mr. Benry Humphreys minuted: R lime of the Colony for the year 190g as presented to washing-1 question whether, any inspector in the Legislative Council at the last meeting, will capable of saying what constitutes good or the Honourable the Colonial secretary stale inferior lime, but he is capable of judging whe what saving, if any, has been effected in the ther it has been properly put on or not.

meat was made, or if to other causes, what command linewashing as a precautionary measure against plague. The medical officers of this Board admit it has no value as a disin, fectant and only uphold it on the ground that it is "conducive to cleanliness." Even for this pur pose limewashing requires to be properly done, If there is no size, the line soon falls off the walls, and if the proper quantity of size is pre sent, itis fora bacteriologist to say whether size is not one of all media for breeding germs and therefore a positive danger in plague stricken districts think the plague-stricken flea theory is sound anithe Government of India and most of the members of this Board, including myself, believe it is. Why do we authorize woodwork and debris from plague-stricken houser, which may contain swarms of plague-stricken fleas, to be dumped on our public thoroughfares? Might not this be the means of spreading plague to non-infected persons and houses? I would like to see the limewashing regulations expunged from the bye-laws altogether. This could easily be done if the walls of Chinese bauses were readered in cement, and the floors were of cement concrete. Any periodical cleany sing that might be considered necessary could be done as how by the Sanitary Board, and done effectively, cheaply and without damage to property. It would cast the landlord a little more ia build houses of this sort, but his hand

would not always be in his pocket afterwards, and the door to many abuses would be closed

ever. I appeal to the members of the Board to say whether a change such as I have indicated is not calculated to prove be .eficial in every respect.

THE WELLS IN TOKYO.

PREMONITION OF BARTHQUAKE

The wells is the higher parts of Tokyo have been getting dried up of late, and the inhabit- anti are consequently alarmed. The same phenomenon is observed in the tivers and wells in the district between Kofu and Yuki, Ibaragi prefecture.

On the authority of Professor Tanakadate, of the Tokyo Imperial University, it is stated the drying well cannot. be taken invariably as a portent of earthquake, though it has close relation. The present decreasing supply of water appears to be due to the small quantity of rain falling and also to the dry condition of the air-Japan Chronicle.
