Qensiderable dissatisfaction appears to he occasioned by certain requirements of the sanitary regulations, and especially | as a result of methods employed to urge | compliance with some of the rules. It is | the breadmakers who are complaining ! and they represent a case of being called ' upon to erect wire closures at all open- ings in apartments used for bread mak- | ing, under penalty of confiscation of their . business. in this connection it is recall- . ~ ed that at the dllustrated lecture of the Sanitation Service in the barracks last - week, the speaker in his interesting ana- ~ tomical observations ~on the housefly - showed the desirableness of exciuding flies from places where bread is made, - and in order to fully encourage popular ~attention to this feature, he advised the people te buy bread only from those who | were observing the precaat on of shut- ' ting out flies by means of wire sereens—- . in which way those others who did not ~adopt such sanitary measures would be . ostracised and thus forced to follow the ' example. The sanitary regulations, as ~ drafted, have not yet passed the Colo- . nial Council and, therefore, have not be- . come law, and the remarks above refer- - red to indicate that the officers of the ; Sanitation Service are fully cognizant of . this, so that while advising and urging | general co-operation in the carrying out | of schemes for the betterment of the pub- | lic health they recognize the rights of the people in this matter. We should say that the Department has our fullest support in all it is doing to improve the sanita~y con- dition on this island; and within reason and with due consideration for laws ana personal righis we are ready to boost auy movement it may launch for the public good, but we are not in favor of threat- ening people unjustifiably, and intimidat- ing them into doing things under pretext of law when no law exists. As regards the question of installing wire screens in bakeries, we fully endorse the idea and hope that those concerned will find it possible to adopt it, in such away that in the near future it will be in general operation; but it is brought to the norice of the heads of the Sanitary Department that the complaints around appear to warrant attention to the alleged over- stepping ol authority by those coming into immediate contact with the people, with-whom we know from experience tact will accomplish a great deal, which in this instance could redound only to the cre’ it of the Department and success of its efforts After writing the above, it has come to our knowiedge that officers of the Sanitary Department inspected privies in this town and where the doors were found locked gave orders to unlock and keep thers open at all times. There are ebvious reasons why privies should not be accessible tc¢ undesirables who can make use «f them if the doors are kept open, and this order seems therefore too absuid to be credibie. No one ils going to have the privy made a medium of spreading contagious disease if it can be helped, and it does not strike us as sensi ble either to issue or observe sien ao order as that referred to. We are giving space in this issue to a communication from Mr. Tutein on the fish question. As we have said on a previous occasion on this same subject, Mr. Tutein has bad a long and probably varied experience in the fishing business, and we believe he is actuated by con- scientious motives. The question, how- ever, must stand or fall on its own . merits, and in assuring the public that the columns of this paper are open to a free discussion of the same, _provided it is confined to the subject itseft, and offers such information and suggestion as may prove of benefit, we withhold further comment until the views of those most closely concerned have been heard. LOCAL. S. S. Guiana from New York arrived at Frederiksted last evening. It is understocd that the services of master-painter Klint have been engaged to paint the dials of the town clock which will thus be rendered somewhat opeque
