Before concluding I should like to say a few 
words as to the climate. In 1882, Mr. Benjamin 
Travers, who afterwards served for ten years in 
various public posts in British Honduras, was 
leaving England for Belize. He was standing on 
the break of the upper deck of the steamer, watch¬ 
ing the baggage pass down to the hold. As one 
of his own trunks, marked “ Belize, British Hon¬ 
duras,” was being passed, he heard another passenger 
remark, “ That man is taking his coffin with him.” 
This was 27 years ago, and, judging from his 
present looks, it may be another 27 years before 
Mr. Travers will be in want of a coffin. But it is 
evident that the passenger in question thought that 
Belize was a very unhealthy place. I doubt if at 
any time the colony has deserved the evil reputa¬ 
tion it bore as regards climate; but before 18^4 
the capital must certainly have been in a less satis¬ 
factory state as regards sanitation than it is now. 
This I am satisfied of, after perusal of the records 
and a consideration of the work that was done in 
the early nineties. We hope to still further improve 
the town, but even as we are it must be in an 
immensely better condition than it was 20 years 
ago.
