The 1894 Hong Kong Sanitary Board election was an election held for the two unofficial seats in the Sanitary Board on 16 June 1894 but, there being only two candidates, the seats were filled uncontested. John Joseph Francis was elected for a third term. During the election, the 1894 Hong Kong plague devastated the colony and drew attention to the composition and power of the board. One proposal, supported by unofficial member of the Legislative Council Ho Kai, called for it to be upgraded to a municipal council with enhanced powers. Others sought its abolition.

  • 1894年香港潔淨局選舉,原預定於1894年6月16日舉行,目的為選出潔淨局中的兩個非官守議員議席。這場選舉只有在該年列在陪審團名單上的人士才擁有資格投票。 由於只有兩個候選人參選,因此這場選舉毋須舉辦,兩人自動當選為潔淨局非官守議員。法蘭些士是第三次參與潔淨局的選舉,而這次是他連續第三次當選。 在這場選舉舉辦期間,香港爆發鼠疫,這種傳染性極強的疾病導致香港受嚴重影響。這場鼠疫帶挈了社會討論有關潔淨局的組成和權力問題。定例局非官守議員何啟建議將潔淨局改組成一市議會,並擁有比以往更高的權力和能力。 1896年,當社會討論有關潔淨局應以非官守或官守議員佔多數的問題時,討論越演越烈。最後,政府舉辦了一場公投去決定結果。然而,這場公投所帶出的市民意願並未對潔淨局造成任何影響,由這場選舉產生的兩個議員延續任期至1899年12月。 (zh)
