The friction between the unofficial members of the Sanitary Board and the Government officials has in no wise abated. At the meeting of the Board on the 25th instant, Dr. Hartigan moved a resolution to the effect that the Board requested that in future the plans of all build such as hospitals, markets, etc., which are under the Boarl's management, be submitted to the Board by the Government. This was in consequence of the Government ignoring the Board with regard to the construction jai and a new market for After w lengthy discussion, in which the Presient and the Principal Civil Medical Officer defended the action of the Government, the resolution was carried, the latter official alone voting against it, while the President and one Chinese member abstained from voting. Ths feeling of the members of the Board is that they are being played with, consulted as a matter of form on game suhjects, while as a rule, their recommend. Ations are ignored. If thia sort of thing goes on I should recommend them to resign in a body.
