(1) At present the Society has no defalte legal status and is at liberty to work independently of the Government under its present Rules and Regulations; though as a matter of fact it has been the castom of the Society for many years to disregard its roles in this respect and to work in co-operation with the Registrar-General. We and of the pubile, the powers of the Society should be clearly defined by law and that it should not, as al present, have power to carry on Its work Independently of the Government. The Society has been found to work most effectively in association with a Government officer, and we recommend that this principle of association should be definitely fald down by law instead of of as at present being left to the discretion of each yearly directorate.
(2) We are in favour of Bill similar to that ander discussion, and in that opinion are sup posted by the Chinese witnesses whom we have examined. If the Society be formed under the Companies Act of 1865, it would be quite possible to avoid the principle of Government association, which we and also the Chinese witnesses consider essential to the proper and effective working of the Society. In the draft bill now before the Legislative Council that principle is clearly laid down. We are also in favour of the draft bill as being a less circuitous and less expensive way of arriving at the object aimed at than forming the Society under the Companies Ordinance.

On the contrary both the detectives in the emolay ol the Society bear a good character: Kwong Cheung was in the Police Force for 20 years and retired on pension to 18ot, his character being Road.

My conclusion on this point is that in the past there has been no general Interest taken by the

The no subscribers, no subscrip'lons, no annual so-called Po Leung Kuk has been merely a Committen of the Tang Wah Hospital supported by the Tung Wah Hosplial and Man Mo Temple, To say that because the Tang Wah Hospital, and by contributions from the Directors only. corporate body, defrayed all the expenses out of is corporate funds, therefore all the members of the Tang Wah Hospital may be looked on as with words.
