write, horsed refuse vehicles are employed, in which the contents are most Inadequately protected, so that the vehicles shed rubbish and dust, particularly when there is a slight breeze. There can be no excuse for the employment of such antiquated means. Power- propelled appliances have shown themselves to be ideal for this class of work, whether they be driven by steam: petrol or electric power, and improvements in their design are constantly being made, whilst their cost is by no means excessive....

Mr. E.

G. R. Sayer,

Mr.

Hoad of the Sanitary Department, said that if the motion had been for a selected committee of the Board to investigate the Board's existing arrangement regarding the type and time of the refuse lorries used In Hongkong, he would have wel- comed the motion, since there were members on the Board who were well able to speak on the technical side of the whole thing. Mr. Lo's however, was motion.

Mr. Lo's motion.made no mention of the type of lorry desired, or of the time which would be most welcome. Of course the speech had some con- crete proposals, but Mr. Sayer aaid he wanted to impress on mom- bers that they would be called upon to vote on the motion and not on Mr. Lo's speech, and on that ground he invited the Board to refect, the motion.
