THE BENEVOLENT
SOCIETY
Strong Appeal For Funds
THE GOVERNMENT TO BE APPROACHED
A strong appeal for a larger Income for the Hong Kong 'Benevolent Society was made" by ̃Sir William Hornell when he presided at its "annual meeting held at the Sanitary Board room yesterday.
It 'was stated that there was a balance of only $346 toʻtarfy "on the "work of the Society for the coming year. and it was decided to approach the Government to "Increase^Its~contribu- tion of $2,500 to $5,000.
Reference was also made of the House of Detention, one member saying many of the people in need of help refused to go there as it was a stigma on thêm, "It was suggested that alms houses should be established by the Government.
