My opinion on this subject is that, as the Government does not like to allow the members of the Board to elect their own chair- mae, one of the seofur official members should be appointed the president, the Re. gistrar General being the most sulable man because the..sanitary measures intro- duced affect the Chinese inhabitanta themost, and it promoting things sanitary it is deskable to enlist Chinese sympathy and co-operation.

(4) To give arbitrary power to the Building I am afraid, when the Bill in its pre- sent form, bas been passed into law, it will, instead of improving the existing state of affaits, lend to make misters worse, so far as landed property is concerned.. Whatever people may say, the welfare of the Colonyly speaking, is similar to that of a select com- depends, to a large extent, on the value of miles appointed by the Board to carry out its itsland. By piling restrictions-upon-sex, strictions, while the value of the land already built upon is going down, the new building sites will not be looked upon with a favourable eye by investors. 1 am pot is a position to say much of the European properly awes but in the case of the Chinese, I hear nothing but complaints caused by the present mea sures, which should be relaxed, and not made more stringent. The bardships and suffering inflicted on the properly-owners are bound to reflect on their tenants and are, consequently, bound to reflect on the general welfare of the Colony. Personally, I do not mind what the law will be, as I am, not much interested in landed property, owning only a small share in some houses within the European Reservation, which are provided with more open space than Roy law requires. In my case, it cannot, therefore, be said that I have my own axe to grind,

I now come to parts, (c) and; (d), which can be more adequately and fully commented upon by exports than by laymen. But, however, in respect of ons point, I will state what my read ing of the Bill has impressed upon me. As it stands at present, the Bill curtails the privileges ol appeal.enjoyed by the property owners. Under the principal Ordinance, the Governor in Council had the advantage of the recom mendations of the Sanitary Board, when con- sidering the advice of the Government ex- Peris. The proposed Ordinance coafers almost absolute power on the Building Authority, in future, have no other authority to appeal to so much as the owners of property will, in against the decision of the Building Authority, except the Governor-in-Council, and the Build- Authority, who is no other than the Director of Public Works, is, I may say, the only expert adviser in building matters on the Governor's Council la short, the Bullding Authority will, practically, be the only judge of his own action. I am, therefore, of the opinion that applicatio na for modifications of and exemptions from the requirements of the Ordinance should be con sidered by the Sanitary Board, and the Board's recommedations forwarded to the Governor-in-

Council as at present. But I am, also, of the opinion that, when in application is considered
