96. Public Laundries.—A site 17,660 square feet in area has been selected for the construction of ten public laundries on Kennedy Road, Wanchai.
97. These laundries consisting of two living rooms, cook house, washing, drying and ironing rooms are being erected by Mr. TSANG SAM under contract (f). Good progress has been made with the work, and the laundries will shortly be ready for occupation.
98. Public Latrines.-Previous to the past year very inadequate latrine accommodation existed in the villages of Hongkong and Kowloon. To meet this want ten cast-iron latrines obtained from Messrs.

They appear to meet the requirements of the native population and will doubtless improve the sanitary condition of the villages.
