General Statement of Work done by the Plague Staff from November 6th to December 1st..
This work has been similar in character to that mentioned before, but in addition the Plague Inspectors have supervised the general cleansing of the floors in Victoria and Kowloon, while the staff of coolies has been chiefly employed in the distribution of soap solution to the people, cleansing empty floors and looking after the water tanks and boilers used in connection with the cleansing. The work of the artisans during this time has been of the same character as has been recorded before.
The following Table shews the number of visits paid by the Inspectors and the number of floors which have been cleansed under their supervision in Victoria and Kowloon :-
