The old Tung Wa Hospital dispensary and the yard surrounding it have been altered for occupation by the Po Leung Kuk; a door has been opened into the street at the back which is now included in the Hospital premises and the inmates of the Po Leung Kuk are now able to make use of both the street and the yard for taking exercise. It is proposed by the hospital to plant the street with trees.

The average number of inmates at the end of each month was 34. floors alone of the original quarters can legally accommodate 45 persons so it is now possible to separate the various classes quite effectively.
In March rules were drawn up to define the duties of the matron and servants. Addi- tional rules for the guidance of the matron are now under consideration.
In May Dr. SIBREE very kindly consented to accept the post of Visiting Surgeon. The thanks of the Society are due to the Tung Wa Hospital for placing the services of the House Surgeon at their disposal for so long, and to the House Surgeon himself, Dr. JEW HAWK.
The Man Mo Temple Committee have for nine years subscribed to the Po Leung Kuk one-fifth of the amount collected for the annual religious festivals. Last year their subscrip- tion was $1,918. Their initiative has now been followed by the two committees at West Point who are in charge of the annual All Souls Festival held there. In 1907 they subscribed $250 and the subscription will be gradually increased till it reaches one-fifth of the receipts.
