Examination of Wells,

Two prominent Chinese residents in' their public spirit submitted a list of 12 wells on different sites which; It is suggested, might be re- opened. Additional to this list another was circulated giving the location of 27 other wells known to have been in existence before the general closure went into force. Minute examination and reports were called for from the district Inspectors and in every case the reports were made the subject of critical comments by the Medical Officer of Health. A summary of no less than fourteen separate re- ports from the Board's officers ro- reals the following facts :------

The labour forte for the Mill is not more than 100 persons, and as we are of opinion that the population in this locality is increasing in dependently of the Mill's quirements of labour, there is perhaps ground for asking the Government to find some other means of water supply either by an enlargement (If practicable) of the existing reservoir, or providing a now reservoir, or by a line of pipes from the Govern ament's main water supply. We are also of opinión that it might be a matter for enquiry from the Public Works Department whether there is anything in prospect that would alleviate the present situation."

Not An Unlimited Supply..

With regard to the danger to health the water in shallow wells came from the sub-soil or the surface. Most of the wells in olden days were in village areas! and the contamination was 'pro- bably maidy from animals. In Hongkong the old wells were in the city. The water in them was from street drains, escapes from sewers and the filth which percolated through the aoil.

They were assuming that there was an unlimited quantity of water in the earth and that they had only got to dig for it to well up. The only water in Hongkong was that which had fallen on the Island and which would go into the reservoirs, Therefore it was like robbing Peter to pay Paul.
