2. With reference to the Repors of the Bathing Beaches Com- mittee of the 17th July last, will the Government state, for the information of the Public, what steps are being taken to carry out the recom- mendations of that Committee, and when such, steps will be completed?

The Colonial Secretary replied as follows:

Sanitary Board consists of two parts, the first part being those persons who were on the Jurora List and the second part being persons who are exempt under the Jurors' Ordinance from jury sur vice. The persons exempt from jury service are described under the various heads under the Jurors Ordinance, but there is no list of them, and the result under, the. present law is that in the course of an election when a great crowd of persons attend 4o vote, it is necessary, in the case of those per- sons who are entitled to vote ber exuse they are exempt from jury survice, to Investigate their claims and come to some decision in the hurry and bustle of the moment. That is extremely inconvenient, and the proposal of this Bill is that a register shall be formed of the actual names of the persons- who are entitled to vote on the ground they they are exempt fron jury service. Putting it general- ly, that is the effect of one of the two main amendments proposed by this bill on the subject of Sani- tary Board elections.
