Healthiest City in Asia.

Through the sanitary measures that
have been inaugurated in Manila, the
city is now rated as the healthiest In
Asia. The work is still in progress and
these new operations will probably
bring it up to the sanitation level Of
American cities. Besides the abandon
ment Of many Of the canals which were
not much more than sewers, the entire
city is gradually being raised, through
filling operations. SO that 1t can be
drained by a proper sewerage system
throughout The public works appro-
priations Of the city of Manila for the
last three years have carried items
amounting to more than one-fourth Of
the total for filling operations alone.
This work was begun over 10 years ago
when the historic moat around the
Walled City was filled and turned into
public playground. The new govern
ment center is to be erected entirely
upon filled land, as Is the development
of the port area. Increased harbor
dredging will provide an abundant sup
ply Of shell and coral base which Is
ideal as a constructed supsoil, and has
been used with enormous s6ccess by the
United States Army and Navy engineers
in Panama.

Tomato canneries are having a
longer run than was anticipated.
At first it was decided that only a
brief pack of a few days would be
the rule, but as the quality and
supply proved better and larger
than last year, the various packing
houses found it necessary to make
a large pack to help the general
condition of the business as far as
possible. While the price per bas-
ket has been small, the aggregate
sum has aided the growers better
than the other crops and therefore
helped the farmers to make a
small profit in the face of the low
markers that have puzzled the
growers of farm products for
years.

cases, but he opposed creation of a
separate appeal board, fearing it might
have power so great as to upset funda-
mental zoning Of the city by the
Zoning Commission.
He did recommend, however, that the
commission itself make use of the
power he believed 1t had under the
zoning act, to grant exceptions in
worthy specific cases where such modi-
fications of regulations would leave the
property in substantial compliance with
the established zoning classification.
A number of the other amendments
proposed concern zoning of garages
A new definition is proposed describing
public storage garage as one in which
repair facilities are incidental to its
primary Use for storage. A public
service garage would be described as
one in which steam or motor driven
vehicles are equipped for operation,
repaired or kept for hire or sale, not
including exhibition of show rooms for
model cars.
Other amendments pertaining to
garages are designed to permit the
